Scotch pie, I had one in Edinburgh, pre coeliac days, years ago. Savoury minced lamb in it from memory.
-
Coles and Woolworth pork pies are sourced from Patchetts at Botany, NSW and Temptation Bakeries in Victoria. Fair hike to Perth. One would think with many ex pat and migrant Brits living around Perth, someone would manufacture pork pies. Anyway good to see the pie thread still alive, our departed Mr Gut would like that. RIP mate.

Only pork pies cold, rest warm to hot. English style pork pies, available here, woolies and coles, around $3.70.

Saga's Bay of Biscay 30' rough seas
NSWP replied to MMDown Under's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
There are a couple of clips on YT. Been through ye olde Bay of Biscay a few rimes, some really strong swells where Atlantic meets the Med. -
I know Mic, but no bakery in Batemans Bay does gf pies and sausage rolls. The frozen ones from Coles and Woollies pretty ordinary. So when I go to Haydens, I eat a freshie there and bring back half a dozen frozies for Ron. Pricey though as is most gf food, $8 for the base mince beef pie.

Queen Elizabeth Aus summer season cancelled from 2026
NSWP replied to MelbTone's topic in Cunard Line
Cunarder can also be part of the Cunard sub culture, ship nut and or regular cruiser on Cunard. In this Colonials opinion. -
Haydens Pies at South Ulladulla (45 minutes north of me) have a great range of normal and gf pies, cakes, etc. I often go up there to get a supply. They just won the best pie in NSW award. Spot on dogs eyes and complimentary sauce, eat in or take away.

I have a thought, now if the Aussie pax on Cunard promised to wear Tux/dinner suit in the dining rooms, even Britannia restaurant and buffet…then Cunard may return to the colonies down under. The Brit Cunarders would be content then. -
Or a dark suit from Primark for 50 notes. Tuxedo/Dinner suit is not compulsory on formal night, dark bag of fruit is fine.

Having been on QM2 in 2019, Syd to HK, I am well aware of the dress requirements. However time to get real and I am sure a polo shirt and bow tie should be acceptable on formal nights. Or even ye olde Safari Suit as below. 🤣 -
