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.

The bakery near the servo does the best snot block in the whole region — the custard is almost two inches thick.
Origin: Australian slang, named for the visual resemblance of the yellow custard filling to mucus; a classic example of Australians' fondness for irreverent, gross-out nicknames for beloved foods. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
