The Oxford English Dictionary may have settled a long-running argument between Australia and New Zealand over who invented the pavlova.

In its relaunched online edition, the OED says the first recorded pavlova recipe appeared in New Zealand in 1927. :clap


In fact, although the OED credits the first written record of the recipe to New Zealand, it lists the origin, rather ambiguously, as "Austral. and N.Z.":crying
