how does one eat a vanilla slice?

You still have the icing on top (bottom) during every bite and the layer of pastry that now is on the bottom still holds the whole thing together. I must admit that it's taken quite a few vanilla slices over the years to come by this technique, and I'm sure it will probably take the rest of my lifetime to truely perfect it.

Just what i was going to say.... go for the upside down!

Mmmmmmm.............

1st form (or year 7 for the whipper snappers) at Jannali Boys - Monday was a joy to behold. Canteen lunch - rissole roll and a vanilla slice!! Followed by a choo choo bar or redskin chaser and a moove milk...

As for eating it....like a pie at the footy...quickly, messily and with style...

I don't think there is any elegant, civilized way of dealing with one. Just go for it and wipe shirtfront off with fingers and lick them.

more of a custard tart man

but have been known to fall into a bowl of trifle

Yummy yummy yummy
Snot cream pie
Dead dogs liver
Squashed blow fly
Put it on a sandwich
Spread it on thick
Wash it down the throat
With a hot cup of sick

Amazing the things that come to mind sometimes. And FWIW a mere trifle does it for me too.

Caramello (or was it salmonella) custard
Green snot pie
Mix it all together with a dead mans eye
Slap it on a sandwich
Nice and thick
Then gobble it down
with a hot cup of sick.

Ahhhh the schoolyard memories.
