The delicious and legendary Australian vanilla slice, available and championed by all bakeries across the land… affectionately and alternatively known as a snot block.

I would not consider nicknames that make the food sound gross to be "great"

I stand by my nomination of Rocky Mountain Oysters. Given what they are, I think that is a great nickname.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I would not consider nicknames that make the food sound gross to be "great"

It’s an Aussie thing to give unappealing or humorous names to beloved things or people. I enjoy this aspect of their culture.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I would not consider nicknames that make the food sound gross to be "great"
Meat pies, perhaps the national dish, are sometimes referred to as rat’s coffins or maggot bags, for example.

I grew up in the farming part of PA known as "Pennsylvania Dutch" country. Lots of Amish, Mennonite, etc. Lots of foods I thought were unique but came to find out they just had silly names. The ones that stand out to me are
Chow chow: pickled mixed vegetables
Hog Maw: Pig stomach stuffed with sausage and potatoes
Scrapple: meat trimmings from the parts of the pig that are considered less appetizing — the head, shoulder, liver, kidneys, etc.
