is sushi too common! Tortilla cups instead of nachos with the filling in! Spicy chicken mince filling instead! Maori bread, Turkish bread or whateva with oil and dukkah!

mini toad in the holes sounds about right for my cricket court session Sarahb5. Thinking maybe made like a pie or small muffin tin. Do you have a recipe! Great idea :-)

Yes - yorkshire pudding batter in a muffin tin with a cocktail sausage in them - Jo Seagar has a recipe in one of her books

How is spaghetti on toast a NZ dish!They do have tinned spaghetti (and toast) in other countries you know!Spaghetti pie seems to be a NZ "invention" though

I don't know what it's called: Philippinas have one name, Indians another, apparently it's highly international. A dessert: grated cassava (can be bought grated in Asian shops, and yellow is sweeter than white). Mix with sweetened condensed milk, add coconut milk to a soft consistency, (my friends are completely unable to give me quantities!) and bake about 45 minutes in a roasting dish; alternatively make parcels in foil and bake. (The Philippinas use banana leaves in the Philippines, but foil here). Oh, gods, it's gorgeous. Sweet, sticky, and doesn't get the Heart Foundation Tick! I know, because I'm a Coronary Care Nurse, and we have this sometimes for our shared suppers at work . naughty, naughty.

Mexican - Get a packet of the round corn chips - take out all the perfect rounds - (eat the broken lol) add a dollop of salsa and some grated cheese and bake on a tray. Individual mouthfuls of loveliness. lol

It was a pie that was sold at kindy with the other fundraising pies - a pastry shell filled with tinned spaghetti and topped with cheese.It may actually have been called pizza pie - my kids loved them but now make their own in bread cases.This was when we first arrived in the country so 17 years ago now - never seen them before then.

That's what my Mum makes Sarah, she calls it pizza pie and adds bacon and tomato to the top of the cheese.

Probably some equally pretty (no, she would be naturally prettier) kiwi yummy mummy, improvising from her somewhat islolated rural or urban kitchen, who wanted to help out with the fundraiser.It's called kiwi ingenuity!DIYLove it
