TUATARA--an animal that looks like an iguana. Twice, I've read that this animal is called a "living fossil."
ELSIES FINGER--seen just once for a biscuit.
STICKY DATE PUDDING--seen several times here.
HOKEY POKEY BISCUITS--the biscuits were seen just once or twice, unlike "hokey pokey" ice cream.
CHOCOLATE CHARLIE--Chocolate ice cream. Another ice cream flavor is Banana Berry. Why add "Charlie" to this? The ice cream guy didn't know--that's just the company's name. I didn't yet check Google.
HELI-HIKES--seen once, by the glacier. A word?
BANOFFEE PIE--In the FOOD FOR FLATTERS (2001) cookbook, by the Edmonds Baking Company of New Zealand. The Banoffee web site appears to be www.banoffee.co.uk/banoffee/. It supposed started as "Banoffi" at the Hungry Monk in East Sussex, England, in 1971. It's now at least in two continents. Are there enough hits to enter it in a dictionary?
