A new study has revealed the favourite sweet and savoury meals of the Aussie populace.
Are you ready to find out if your favourite makes the cut?
Pure Profile conducted a survey asking Australians from all over the country which sweet and savoury foods are their favourite.
The survey — commissioned by pay television company Foxtel ahead of the season premiere of the 5th instalment of The Great Australian Bake Off (GABO) — divulged that Australia's most loved sweet guilty pleasure is none other than the cheesecake.

Expecting a different answer? Well, it’s not a Vegemite cake or a Pavlova.! The data has indeed revealed that the savoury-turned-sweet dessert emerged as the number 1 go-to sweet treat of Aussies nationwide.
If you were expecting to see Aussie classics — such as lamingtons and Anzac biscuits — at the top of the list, well then we have even more bad news.
The two aforementioned sweet treats did not even make it into the top 5. The silver medal was taken out by cookies, followed by doughnuts, brownies and finally banana bread.
“A little surprising that cheesecake was number one but if that’s the case, everyone is going to love that we have Maggie (Beer’s) very special technical cheesecake in the series which they’ll have to keep an eye out for,” GABO judge and local restaurateur Matt Moran said, admitting that he was surprised with the results.
Okay, now that we have revealed the nation's top picks for sweet treats, let us now disclose the savoury meals that Australians love.
Any guesses as to which meals make the top 5 list?
Unsurprisingly, the number one spot for the nation's favourite savoury meals is shared by two classic Aussie dishes — meat pies and sausage rolls!

Rounding up the top 5 is quiche, which came in third, croissants in fourth, and finally, focaccia in fifth.
Elsewhere in the report, it was revealed that Aussies prefer sweet over savoury meals, with 57 per cent admitting that they crave more sugary treats.
Additionally, it was revealed that the residents of Queensland consume more sweet treats than savoury, with a staggering 63 per cent of the respondents residing from the sunshine state admitting this preference.
Mr Moran said: “I’m not really surprised that Australia has voted sweet over savoury, I’ve always said that I’m sweet and Maggie is savoury so it’s nice to have one on her."
Suddenly craving a sweet treat yourself? Well, how about trying this delicious cheesecake recipe!
