Lamingtons


Benjamin and Emily are now fond of Lamingtons.

We get them in an 8-pack. Emily takes the raspberry and Benjamin concentrates his efforts on the chocolate.

Detente!

Named for the rich Briton who's cook created them for an impromptu event,* this iconic Kiwi food has a Wikipedia page:

Girl scout cookies and boy scout popcorn are unknowns here, but Lamington drives can bring in money for scouts, churches, and school clubs.

So sad then, that Lord Lamington is reported to call them "those poofy woolly biscuits."

*One of many origin legends.
