Created by Balfours Bakery in Adelaide in 1923, the Chocolate Frog Cake Lime quicky became a popular local dessert confectionery. The green (lime) version was the original, with the brown (chocolate) and pink (strawberry) versions created later, though all are collectively considered a culturally significant icon of South Australia, Australia. Shaped to resemble a frog with its mouth open, this confectionery consists of a sponge cake base layered with raspberry jam, topped with cream, then coated in a thick chocolate fondant icing in various colours. This has a creamy soft fluffy texture, with intense fruity sour sweet milky chocolatey flavour. Seasonal variations may be created for various special occasions.

While the British Fish And Chips and the Australian Fish And Chips both use the same English style thick cut chips seasoned with salt and a dash of vinegar, the difference lies in the type of fish used. Australian Fish And Chips are typically made with firm white flesh fish that are common in Australia, such as John Dory, Whiptail Hake, Flathead, Reef Cod, Rock Cod, Flake, Basa Catfish, Blue Grenadier, or Barramundi. The fish is light battered and deep fried, then garnished with a slice of lemon and served with a side of tomato sauce or tartar sauce. It has a crisp exterior, a moist tender flaky interior, and a delicate sweet salty savoury flavour. In Adelaide, the most common type of fish used is Garfish, King George Whiting, or Barramundi.
