Hi Esme, it’s interesting that in Canada you call these cakes the same as we do in Australia because as you know things are often named differently. I have just re-read your About page and the fact you are originally from South Africa so you would well what I mean .Enjoy the rest of your weekend.Louise
Hi Louise – Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read my about page. Yes, terminology can be a funny thing. Although I am in Canada for just of 20 years, I still call them cakes as that is what I grew up with calling them, and to be honest, I am not sure if I would ask a true Canadian if they will call it cake as well. I will have to find out from my true Canadian friends what they call it.
Esme I meant Butterfly Cakes specifically. That is exactly what we call them, sorry my comment was a bit confusing when I re-read. However I don’t think we will agree if it’s a briar or a BBQ. The old “argument” between South African and Aussie travellers when I was travelling in my twenties!
Sorry for the misunderstanding, and I agree to disagree with you on the BBQ term. ☺☺
HAhahHAaa
