A friend is anxious to see if anyone has the recipe from the Invercargill tea rooms of H & J Smiths from approx 45 years ago. Apparently it had a different flavour and they wouldnt diivulge at the time what the recipe was so we are hoping that one of you know it! Thank you.

Thanks for bumping. Will try and keep this up there for the weekend! I'm picking maybe the cooks there are quite old now or not around anymore, but maybe a family member could have the recipe in an old book of their Mums! Here's hoping anyway as I am intrigued myself now.

Have you thought of contacting retirement homes in the area to see if anyone know someone who might have worked there! Or write to local paper.

The above recipe is the one that I've been doing for the last 40yrs. It often didn't get a chance to be iced. Makes a lovely slice that only uses a 1/2cup sugar so that's got to be good.
