Neenish Tart
A neenish tart is a tart made with a pastry base and a filling consisting of sweet gelatine-set cream, mock cream, icing sugar paste, or lemon and sweetened condensed milk mixture, with icing on the top of the tart in two colours – brown and pink most commonly. Where did these strange little cakes come from, and why are they so popular?
The most popular tale, according to the ABC, is that the neenish tart was invented by a woman called Ruby Neenish in the New South Wales Riverina town of Grong Grong in 1913.
The story goes that Ruby was baking for a shower tea when she ran out of cocoa.
Thinking on her feet, she iced her tarts with half chocolate, half white icing and they were known forevermore as neenish tarts.

What in the world are these?

They look like crabs, but crabs don't usually self-deliver to a barbie, do they?

Or are they seeking revenge on crabs already eaten?
