      Dunno why you would be proud of that. Most overpriced fastfood in NZ. Burger cost about $5 to make. What a joke really. 150g of mince at MOST, some white pieces of the lettuce cob, and some sauces, with some no frills cheese. Nice one dude. Charge $10 as a combo and be a man.

      Australian pies are the best, its a well known fact. The Pavlova was in fact made first by Australians then New Zealand made on shortly after that is distinctly different. Australian Pav is light meringue with fruit on the top in contrast to the New Zealand variation that is a heavier meringue with jelly and fruit over the top.
