Then you Germans must be healthier than other nations as cakes contain far too much sugar and saturated fat. I am smart, only eat sugar free cakes, a local brand NOSHU. They may even export, so keep an eye out Thomas, you too Jessica. I also eat sugar free biscuits made by Spanish company GULLON.Any cake-eaters here?
Last week my SiL came over from southern France for the first time in 13 years. We went for a walk and stopped at our nearby beer garden in the marina. I asked her what she was enjoying most after that long absence and she said: a cappa and cake in the afternoon. It surprised me a bit and I wanted to know why. Her answer was no less surprising since she said in France there was no cake as we know it here. There's cream pie, something like sweets , biscuits, but no fruit pie like plum cake, cheese cake, nor other kinds of cake. Not even the frozen food sections in supermarkets offer it.
What's it like in AUS and elsewhere? Does anyone like cake? What do you have with your afternoon tea or coffee?
We have an obese epidemic here! Brits are known for being greedy and indulge in all kinds of unhealthy foods. Cakes are readily available and cheap here, egg custard tarts, jam tarts, jam doughnuts, Victoria sponge cake. I have the occasional iced ring doughnut or a yum yum but I hardly eat cakesAny cake-eaters here?

Times change though and I tend to avoid sweet things but confess to enjoying some carrot and walnut cake last night. That's one of the healthier options with an array of cakes staring at me on supermarket shelves. Chocholate mud cakes, pavlovas, cheese cakes, glazed donuts, sugar rich Anzac biscuits, desert buns, more chocolate everything, ....
Two thirds of us Aussies are overweight or obese like other western cultures. We love eating rubbish to our detriment. Now even having to take the diabetic drug ozempic to lose weight.
My bmi (body mass index) puts me on the border of normal to overweight. I blame the nuts I eat an

called a battered savaloy on a stick.
I found em yummy. All us kids did.
You could have it in either the frankfurt or sausage version, from memory. They were massively popular at our annual Easter Show and footy matches.Is it the same as a battered sausage?
Must've forgotten you telling me that Thomas. Australia used to have a thriving textile industry before tariffs made imports cheaper. There is a new manufacturing push that should create far more local production, including in the textile industry .And Richie knows that I have Australian clothes, too.
I hope so too about us pushing downstream manufacturing Craig. Garments, Wool, Textiles, Lithium batteries, Vehicles (bring back an electric FB Holdon!), Ore smelters, Steel and metals production, ... IT, ....defense, ... medicine, .... , whatever, ....The world's too shaky now for just a select few profitable industries. We should not be reliant on China for a start. That trade could come to an abrupt end again, perhaps?Must've forgotten you telling me that Thomas. Australia used to have a thriving textile industry before tariffs made imports cheaper.
