...in Australia - have even given a Russian name to perhaps our most famous dish - Pavlova.

Now, them's fighting words!! I know hundreds of Kiwis who would happily form death squads to avenge any attempt by an Ocker to claim Pavlova as Australian, when all sentient hominids know that it was invented in NZ.

What about other famous Australian icons like Pharlap, Crowded House and Split Enz? Oh, and how could I forget Russel Crowe?

Rapport was established superficially.
