‘Fighting words': Debate erupts online as Aussies reveal the iconic national dishes they secretly hate
The post asks 'What's an Australian dish, snack, dessert or the like that you hate but everyone else seems to love?'
The user goes on to say they 'can't stand' pavlova, which seemed to be popular among responders.
Many others agreed pavlova is 'overrated,' and not as delicious as it's made out to be.
'I hate the texture of the pavlova base, it's just awful,' one said.
But others hit back, arguing a homemade pavlova will beat a storebought one any day.
'I hate a store pav, but a good homemade pav can be excellent,' one commenter said.
The most liked response was from a user stating apricot chicken was 'disgusting' and their least favourite meal.
Most replies agreed, and said it was a 'hated' yet classic meal from their childhoods.
'It's been like 25 years since I have thought about apricot chicken. Agreed! Mum whipped it out every now and then,' one wrote.
'You've just opened up a part of my brain that's been locked since childhood,' replied another.
Another popular response was chiko rolls, with many agreeing that unless you had them as a child, they have 'no redeeming qualities.'
'They always seem to have this chalky feel to them, I don't like eating chalk,' one said.
'I don't see how anyone likes them,' said another.
Tim Tams, bread and butter pudding, lamingtons, cherry ripe and Bundaberg rum also made the list.
'Tim tams – I can't stand them! They are too sweet.'
'Bread and butter pudding. Hate that sloppy egg mess, everyone else seemed to love it.'
'Cherry ripe, so many people I know love them, I can't get behind them.'
'Bundy rum is appalling, it's so bad that it doesn't actually taste like any other rum I've tried, Bundy is unique in its awfulness.'
The bold posts were met with backlash from other Australians, who made it no secret there are still lovers of classic Australian dishes.
'Thems fighting words,' said one.
'Please know that I am giving you a death stare through my phone,' said another.

Margot Robbie in talks to star in Tim Burton's new film
Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake. The 35-year-old Australian actress is being considered for the lead role in the director's upcoming movie for Warner Bros and she would also produce the film through her LuckyChap production company, according to The InSneider. The 1958 movie is a science-fiction horror story which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and goes on to take revenge on her cheating husband. It was reported last year that Burton would direct and produce the remake, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn writing the script. Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper are also producing with Kai Dolbashian as executive producer. However, Variety reports that Flynn exited the project due to other commitments after writing a first draft of the screenplay. The production team is searching for a new writer. Robbie's involvement would depend on the final version of the script. Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake.

Time to short Labubu? This fund says $66b craze's days are numbered
It's the soft toy that has gone from Gen Z craze to cultural touchstone, but one Australian hedge fund is betting that the global mania for Labubu won't last and is hoping to cash in on the collapse of its popularity. Arnott Capital, a secretive hedge fund which invests on behalf of wealthy Sydney families, says the 'viral sensation' is nearing peak saturation, likening the Labubu to Hello Kitty, a Japanese bobtail cat that became a global icon in the 1990s but is no longer a global phenomenon.
