white Christmas slice

(UK, Australia) A snack similar to a mille-feuille, consisting of a layer of vanilla custard or cream between two layers of pastry.

In British and Irish cuisine, a fried slice is a thick-cut piece of white bread that's been fried in butter, lard, or bacon grease until golden and slightly crispy on the outside. It's a staple of the full English breakfast and greasy-spoon cafes across the UK. No one's pretending it's health food — a fried slice is pure comfort eating, the kind of thing you order after a rough night out or on a lazy Sunday morning.

A cake containing dried fruits and, optionally, nuts, citrus peel and spice; usually served in celebration of weddings and Christmas.

Australian slang for a vanilla slice — the beloved bakery treat made of two layers of flaky puff pastry sandwiched around a thick slab of creamy custard, topped with passionfruit icing. The name 'snot block' is quintessentially Australian in its gleeful grossness: it refers to the custard's wobbly, pale-yellow appearance that, when squeezed, oozes out the sides. Despite (or because of) the name, vanilla slices are one of Australia's most adored bakery classics.

(US) A dessert consisting of whipped cream and stacked chocolate wafers, refrigerated to form a sliceable log.
