The United States. Sorry that we make so much good food that we just give it away to other countries.
Here is the article your first post sort of references: http://www.goodfood.com.au/eat-out/...eveals-desserts-shock-origins-20151010-gk5yv9 It gives a pretty good explanation that the desert originated in Germany, but the Americans turned it into what we know today. Quote from the article - "The idea that it was invented in New Zealand or even Australia is a total fiction..."
Technically New Zealand had the first written recipe of the Pavlova, but being from Australia and it being my origin the first pavlova was created in Australia by a chef named Bert Sachse (according to record books I found at a local library). People believed he originated from the Americas, but he was pure blood Australian based off his parents DNA.
I thank you Bump If Australians are bribing you people, don't trust them. Vote me I'll pay you invisible money
Same. The name was something I'd expect from some Balkan dish. I wondered why my Serbian friend would never tell me about it, and I was further confused by the poll options. Found out the name is Russian and nobody actually knows where it's from.
