How far would you travel for a "Snot Block"?
Where are the best Vanilla slices? Meat Pies? Sausage Rolls?
Back in the old Magpie days at Lidcombe they had a pie company as one of the sponsors, Janson's Pies, they were probably the best up there for mass produced pies with Aussie Pies
The best bakery pie was from a little shop in Thomas St near Star City run by some Thai woman. Their beef & burgundy pie was to die for.
The best sausage roll?? I'm super fussy. There used to be a pie shop in what is now Westfields MT Druitt that sold nice sausage rolls but the very best I've had were from "Jack & Co" in Taree. Sadly they closed their Cafe in Town Central but they still operate out of the BP.
The best Vanilla slice I ever had was from a little bakery called Bernie's that supplied Rooty Hill Primary School with junior pies, pies, sausage rolls, cakes etc. It was conveniently right next to the school & did roaring trade before school, lunch time & after school. Tradies & local workers would line up out the door past the footpath.

Yes there is too much lettuce AND there is also too much tomato imho.
I've never been a big fan of vanilla slice but after 26 years with my better half she decided to surprise me with creme schnitten, basically vanilla slice. She makes the whole thing, about a meter long, including filo pastry, from scratch and it is melt in your mouth delicious. Not really on my diet though. So, as it turns out, I dont have to go very far for snot block, although if I ever called it that she would never make it again.

Vanilla Slice or Lemon Meringue Pie are about the only cake/dessert i find almost impossible ro resist,however since i have been a diabetic for almost 35 years the last 15 insulen dependent it is very rare for me to indulge in either.Even pre diabetic days i would only have either 2-3 times a year.
My Mrs is an excellent baker and pastry chef, trained in her mums kitchen in rural Austria on a wood stove. She can and does bake a huge variety of cakes and pastries from Sacher Torte and Kaiser Gugelhupf, to Apfel Strudels and Brandteigkrapfen (chocolate eclairs), as well as multiple kinds of cookies. Unfortunately, like you, I cant eat most of them and Im limited to only a few. It's torture at times opening the fridge to luscious baked goodies that I cant eat.

Apple turnovers and fresh whipped cream, even the Coles ones are tempting lol.
I feel your pain in not being able to eat to your hearts content on the delights your wife makes.A good pastry chef is unfortunately a rarity these days.
