6 d. ago Australians in London taste test M&S lamingtons: ‘A cubed cake does not a lamington make’

The UK retailer has released its own versions of the classic Australian cake. Melbourne-born Londoner Rose Johnstone assembles a group of UK-based Australians to try itGet our weekend culture and lifestyle email“Sorry, did you say lemingtons? Are they like, tropical fruits?”Not the response I was expecting when I excitedly told my colleagues that M&S Food was about to launch two versions of lamingtons to the UK public. As an Australian living in London, I’m used to navigating minor cultural differences in the workplace. Case in point: Brits eat their sausage rolls cold, with no sauce. And if you ask for sauce, they’d ask: “What kind?” But to learn that they hadn’t heard of lamingtons – the treat I’d scoff at my Grandma’s house, the major player at any cake stall, the bakery stalwart, neighbour to the trusty snot block – felt downright wrong. Like I’d slipped through a wormhole into a tragic parallel universe.Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture a...

1 week ago Out of all the languages I know, Persian is the one that speaks directly to my soul and offers a new way of being | Shadi Khan Saif

I’ve found metaphors that mirror my own journey, phrases that feel like home, and poetry that speaks directly to the soulGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailI’ve always carried a deep sense of gratitude for my ability to speak more than one language. It has allowed me to build bridges across cultures, to connect with people from vastly different walks of life and to find a sense of belonging wherever I’ve been: Australia, Germany, Pakistan or Afghanistan. Each language I’ve learned has brought with it a new lens through which to view the world. But nothing has stirred my soul quite like Persian – the language of mystics and lovers.My recent journey into the Persian language felt less like consciously acquiring a new skill and more like unlocking a secret passage inside myself. It has opened doors not just to new ideas and ways of thinking but to the deepest emotions. For the first time, I’ve found a language that doesn’t just help me navigate time and space in mere practical ...
