No im pretty sure we dont have any meat in a pie that you can eat cold. There is the traditional Aussie meat pie but its mostly beef with other parts of the cow they dont like to tell you about exactly and bits of rubber glove to give this chewy grisly effect.

Perhaps you can corner the world market for Kangaroo pie?

Oooh, now a Cornish Pastie is a thing of great beauty. I Love them!! Even though we only get Ginsters ones here in the SE of England, I guarantee you a genuine one will be the 1st thing I buy when I next visit Cornwall! Served with a bit of HP... Mmmmmm Heaven

Not liking pork pies now pasties! Weirdo!

I love pasties, I just make sure I buy decent quality ones rather than mass produced ones (Ginsters that SmokeEm mentioned being a prime example, the factory that makes them is only 10 miles from me).

Can't say I've ever had a hot pork pie, doesn't sound real inviting to me. Got to be cold. Don't drink so C is out.

Next question, with or with Branson ??

Is that Richard Branson lol

We shall expect a decent quality pastie or two at CF show :ykt:

 

We only get Ginsters so no choice :-(

You cant eat something thats on your country's coat of arms. That would be like eating the Queen!

 

Have hit a few in the Escort in my time though. We are South but we arent "the deep South" so road kill and the Aussie equivalent of possum grits isnt all that popular. We seem to get every one of your celebrity chefs here at some point, so maybe they could work with that as the "alternate red meat" and gross out British viewers?

I'm sure I saw Kangaroo Steak on the menu last time I was in Oz?

 

Eating the Queen? Ewww! No thanks I prefer my pie a lot less aged (and neatly trimmed :wink: )

Yeah ok you got me there. Its a very lean meat and I have eaten it. Trouble is that if you overcook it it goes tough but when lean its still a bit too pink for my liking.

when i was younger, all the family holidays were in devon or cornwall, and there used to be many a shop selling cornish pasties and refering to them on the signs as tiddy oggies, and for years my parents, uncles and aunts etc used to refer to them as that back in essex

The story on the term "Tiddy Oggy" is convoluted. Some will say it's a standard term for a pasty, while others say it refers to a potato only Oggy as was common for the working class who couldn't afford meat back in the day. Think 18th Century Poldark era.

A proper pork pie should be eaten cold, with a dash of salt and MADE in Melton Mobery not a Melton Mobery style pie, I am a fan of Cornish pasties, difficult to find a good ones though, but I keep looking and trying!

Oggies, yes definitely. 

 

Ah. When we lived in Devon (and we won't get into the Cornwall/Devon thing) there was a chain of shops called Oggie Oggie. I thought it was just a trendy made-up name.

Think I'm going to do a bulk purchase on these pies ready for the next show, seeing everyone is picking on me I will throwing a few of these at various members. I've got your numbers. So BEWARE I'll be coming in disguise, might be in an escort fitted with a zetec on bike carbs so I can blend in with all the other a......oles. So repent all your sins your maker is COMING !!

 

 

Have a nice day you all.
