PF is a South Australian delicacy. Family friends introduced me many years ago. We have one EVERY time we go over

Pea Soup and an upside down four and twenty pie in the middle.

Pie floater looks nasty, but is apparently tasty - I've never tried one.

Lamingtons are Aussie aren't they?

Post by **breaksRbest** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 10:54 am

The Aussie pf is served with a pea soup, rather than mushy peas.

Again from wikipedia...

Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked and then simmered with a little sugar, salt and a sometimes touch of mint, until they form a green lumpy soup. Green colouring is often used. (The more pure the mushy peas, the less obviously bright the colour - peas with few additives tend to form a more grey-green end product). Sodium bicarbonate is often added to soften the peas, enhance the colour and to inhibit fermentation during soaking which reduces later flatulence. They are a very traditional northern English accompaniment to fish and chips, or in the north-west are commonly served as part of the popular snack of pie and peas (akin to the Australian pie floater, but with mushy peas instead of a thick pea soup) and are considered a part of traditional British cuisine. Mushy peas can also be bought in tins.

Not to be confused with Cheesey peas, which are a comedy fiction

pie floaters are great if you use real peas, not the frozen muck.

actually frozen peas are arguabley fresher than normal peas..
i recon i am going to try one of these, well try to make one ny way..
make my own puff pastry, pie mix and all that, use a nice chili oil for garnish on the soup.. i recon it might be a winner

From Wikipedia

Some sources claim the recipe originated in New Zealand, while others claim it was invented in Australia. However, like the Anzac biscuit, the earliest known books containing the recipe were published in New Zealand.

Professor Helen Leach, a culinary anthropologist at Otago University in New Zealand found a pavlova recipe in a 1933 Rangiora Mothers' Union cookery book.[2] Professor Leach also has an even earlier copy of the pavlova recipe from a 1929 rural New Zealand magazine.[3]

Keith Money, a biographer of Anna Pavlova, wrote that a chef at a hotel in Wellington, New Zealand, created the dish when Pavlova visited there in 1926 on her world tour.

The claim that it was an Australian invention states that the pavlova is based on a cake baked by Bert Sachse at the Esplanade Hotel in Perth on 3 October 1935. Sachse's descendants believe he may have come up with the recipe earlier than that, since Anna Pavlova visited Australia in 1926 and 1929 and died in 1931.

then again i thought orange juice and milk should go together cos they taste good separately. bad idea.

note - i was like so younger than i am now when i tried that. like, so younger

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 8:14 pm

Sure.

And milk and orange juice does go together, try it again.
