OK So another experience I would like to add to this thread.....
It might help someone out one day.
When eating a vanilla slice (I have now managed to eat it without choking myself on the light dusting of the icing sugar on the first inhale)
DONT eat one while diving in the car with the air con on full blast and set to face:eek:
It created a phenomenon
On a 30degree day....it snowed inside my Hilux:D
I don't drive a rain water leaking Defender so I don't need to dive in my Land Rover. :pQuote:

(to answer your initial question, I take off the top layer with the icing on it and then alternate between the custard and bottom pastry layer and the icing/pastry layer, finishing on custard)
i like caramel chocolate slice alot more.. oh hot dang that **** is good. i have not had any problem eating vanilla slice though put it in the fridge and it is good to go.
the ones they serve up today are crap compared to the ones we use to get up in the country way back :mad: the pastry on todays you need a chain saw to get through and that yellow junk in the middle is goodness knows what :mad:
lard is my guess :)
May I suggest you obtain a better standard of said Vanilla Slice?Quote:

That will give your Hilux some dignified specks of white of white through its grey. :p
and what do you tell the officer when he looks in your window and see's white powder all over the cab and you sitting there with a grin from ear to ear :(Quote:

The best Vanilla Slices we have tried are at the Bakery at Gulgong NSW. Near Mudgee. (Have to try the bakeries you suggested waynep :)) The ones at Gulgong are made on the premises and are YUM. Lou, Just munch them down and enjoy them.
Also, Grockle.... Boiled Sweets....My wife LOVES Yorkshire Mixtures (but only the ones from Yorkshire...not the pretend ones from Darling Harbour).
(She's a Yorkshire girl and reckons she knows the difference ).

A few years ago they won first prize in the Ouyen vanilla slice competition two years running.
They were then featured on a tv show, from memory it was "The Great Outdoors" or one of the life style shows.
Being on tv was the best thing that could have happened in my town. Our hot bread shop didn't open on Sundays(probably the only one in Australia that didn't) After being on tv on a Sat night some one from Melb decided to make the 200 km trip to try these vanilla slices.
The bakery got a phone call on Monday morning from a very irate person and since then they now open Sunday.
If I'm ever heading your way I will drop a couple in.
