New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

Except it's no longer owned by SAussies and Fleurieu iced coffee is SO much better.

True, it is so much better but FUIC is still an icon of the state and I still believe we are one of only two places in the world where Coca Cola isn’t the number one beverage sold

But you didn't grow up here, as you said. Fritz and frog cakes were part of the ritual of Adelaide childhood. At the school tuck shop. I hated frog cakes too, husband, another Adelaidian, loves them. I much preferred jam Berliners. I'll still eat Fritz. It's not Devon. It's Fritz. And a cheap lunch again at the school tuck shop with fresh white bread and tomato sauce.

Berliners yum but Kitchener SA version to die for

Kitchener washed down with a litre of iced coffee is known as the “tradies smoko”

Imagine the magpies if they served the miniature versions of these in the QP? A while ago bakers tried making them with mock cream. . But now they are back in full force with the real stuff in good bakeries.

@jase05 - substitute the FUIC for Fleurieu and guess that makes me a tradie then! Used to be FUIC but then I grew up.

I can no longer have anywhere near as much FUIC as it makes a mess of my stomach these days so I’ve had to move to other options.
My lad is a chippie and his morning smoko consists of a 2lt FUIC and a Kitchener or custard tart

Truro bakery does a great job of making these

Ah. The Kitchener bun is still around.

And give us an update on the frog cake selection, please.

For the frog cake lovers you may be in for disappointment, no frog cakes in sight.

When my house was being built the litter was always FUIC cartons

Enhancement within 1st week.
It’s probably too expensive to serve the frog cakes as individual portions

I came here just to check if anyone has been to the lounge after the launch day and it did not disappoint (or it did?) to see what was on launch day was just for show.

I'll go check out the house nearby later.

I'll go check out the house nearby later.

Wont find any as the 10 cent carton collectors would have nabbed them empties for the deposit refund.
