The pie is an iconic Australian food - the menu here is somewhat
yuppied up for tourists though.
The normal 'industrial' pie is awful, minced gristle in a gravy
enriched with blood plasma (brings the protein level up to spec.).
But any decent establishment and bakery stocks a good range - steak
with or without mushroom, bacon, etc.:, chicken, curry, veggie and so
on.
The traditional 'pie floater' is a pie floating in heavy pea soup.
Sounds awful, looks a mess but it's great. Reputed to have originated
in Adelaide.
I was quite puzzled last year to find that UK caffs don't have pies -
garnished baked potato seems to be the light meal of choice.
Those Cornish Pastie establishments aren't bad but too infrequent and
specialised.
My pie for tonight - Duck Confit and root veggies - but then, the chef
in the cafe beneath is a friend.
