My daughter was watching Bluey the other day, and Bingo wanted some "Pavlova". I immediately thought it was some reference to them all being dogs and Pavlov.

Nope. Turns out it's actually a dessert named after a Russian ballerina that originated in either New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century.

I only knew of the Australian connection by reading the last continent

Is Pavlova a national Australian treasure or something? Wikipedia seems unsure as to whether it originated in New Zealand or Australia.
