There's a massive debate that rages about who we ought to celebrate for creating the legendary pavlova. Aussies will claim it's their invention and the New Zealanders will do the same; but something we can all agree on is that they're delicious.
But you've probably never seen a pavlova grazing board, have you?
Well, one Aussie company has come up with the design and it looks absolutely bloody amazing. Forget cheese boards this Christmas, the creation from Swish Biscuits would be a far better inclusion to your big lunch.
The Canberra-based baker uploaded photos of the spread, which includes a pile of meringues on a board next to a bunch of different pavlova toppings - such as strawberries, passionfruit, blueberries and chocolate sauce - to social media.

The reaction was unsurprisingly incredible.
It attracted hundreds of likes, shares and comments and has been featured around Australia.
The baker wrote on social media: "We had an early family Christmas today and I had to share my dessert idea - a pavlova grazing board."

So if you're looking for something to spruce up your meal on Wednesday, then why not have a look at the recipe here.
Interestingly, new data found that Aussies drive more carefully with a pavlova in the backseat than if their kids were there.
Research from the NRMA, published in the Herald Sun, revealed that drivers were better at acceleration, braking and taking corners when they had the fragile meringue in the back or front seat.
They also used their phones less while they were behind the wheel and 20 percent were better with their speed.

Consumer Psychologist Dr Adrian Camilleri told News Corp: "These drivers had a cake in the car, it's a bit out of the ordinary and it is likely to snap people out of an autopilot mode.
"When people first learn to drive, it's a skill that requires a lot of attention, but as we become more experienced we go into autopilot.
"We form habits and driving with children to and from work or home can be part of that."
So the next time you're getting in your car, pretend your little kid is a dessert that's destined for a family lunch because it's likely you'll be better on the road.
