The humble Boston Bun is hiding a huge vegetable-shaped secret from you. In the first episode of our Icons of Australian Food series, we get to the bottom of what the hell potato is doing in this delicious sweet treat and whether we’ve been lied to our whole lives. We also delve into its history and where the name comes from (it’s a bit of a wild ride, strap in). Let’s lick the coconut icing off and bite into it.  Follow us on Instagram (@ingredipedia) and TikTok (@ingredipedia) to see visuals of our weird and snacky food pursuits.
