What's wrong with a good lamington - the 'Queen of the Afternoon Tea'? Now, the restaurant at Old Government House in Brisbane, widely considered the birthplace of the lamington, has removed them from the menu. Australians believe the lamington was first made in 1900 for the wife of Queenland's eighth governor, Lady May Lamington. 123RF Food historian and home cooking guru Alexa Johnston says lamingtons can be the Queen of the Afternoon Tea. You need to use finely dessicated coconut for a good lamington, and if you keep them small and perfectly formed, they'll always be the Queen of the Afternoon Tea."
