Lamington

Origin

According to an essay on the Australian National University website, the origin of the Lamington, like so many recipes throughout the world, is a matter of dispute. The usual Australian explanation is that it is named for Charles Cochrane-Baillie, who was the governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901, and whose title was Baron Lamington. The confection was supposedly invented by one of the Baron's subjects, but named for the governor, who called them "those bloody poofy woolly biscuits." Competing versions of events have it that the Lamington originates from one of the English and Scottish towns of Lamington, Leamington, or Lemmington.
