Now, the popularity of the healthy yet indulgent dish, often served with another Aussie favourite, the flat white, has since spread all over the globe with cafes such as Sakona in Spain’s San Sebastian, Season and Love Juice Bar in Paris, Lantana in London, the Cupping Room in Hong Kong and Arvo on the Hawaiian island of Oahu offering the Aussie dish on their menus.
Mashed with a fork – opposed to slicing it – and usually served with a squeeze of lemon and sourdough toast, the dish, which has been blamed for millennials being unable to afford a house, can also be served with coriander, feta, chilli and seeds and can set you back up to $22.
