Aussie bakery fetish....vanilla slices! Myrtleford, Victoria (read my fattening comments below).
One of Australia’s favourite goodies is the vanilla slice, various forms of thick custard between two layers of flakey biscuit or pastry and some extras - perhaps layers of chocolate or different flavoured custards or icing. They are all there. Country towns in particular have local competitions at their shows either between different home baked contestants, different bakeries or even different towns. No doubt bad for the waistline, cholesterol and carbohydrate levels, it’s rather fun to ignore these problems and gorge oneself on one of these sweet and sticky treats. This bakery at Myrtleford in NE Victoria had the greatest range we have seen, well outside the dimensions of my wife’s phone photo. You will also note these are quite thick. When confronted by vanilla slices, just take time to establish your favourite and then buy the ones either side also.
