“Australian summer in a slice tin. These flavours will forever remind me of camping holidays at the beach as a kid; when life was simple and the only real dilemma was whether to have a mango Weis Bar or a Frosty Fruit. A Weis Bar usually won out. Then, when we’d return from the beach salty, sandy, a little bit cranky and in need of food and a rest, there was usually a tray of mangoes sitting on the tailgate of the camper trailer. Dad would peel them for us using his super sharp filleting knife and order would be restored, at least for a while. Fruit therapy at its finest. Rather like this slice!” – Tilly Pamment
