GUT2407 Posted August 25, 2017 #26 Share Posted August 25, 2017 IMO, Vili's pies are the best commercially made pies there are, lots of choice too. Especially the Hungarian Goulash pie.http://www.vilis.com/bakery/savouries/pies/ Vili's aren't bad just not stocked many places around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 25, 2017 #29 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Vili's aren't bad just not stocked many places around me. Originally just an Adelaide company but quickly expanded across SA as the quality was so good and their business expanded to the demand. Gabriel Gateau then was commissioned to design the gourmet range of pies and it just went boom. They then started going across Australia with their products being stocked in BPs café type stations and also in some IGA stores. Not sure if they are still in the stores though.

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 25, 2017 #30 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Most non franchise bakeries make awesome pies, There is one up in Port Douglas that does the varieties like Crocodile, Barramundi and Kangaroo which are all very very nice.

Used to have them frequently when visiting Adelaide, Mrs Gut says maybe Harry's for lunch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yatchet Posted August 26, 2017 #38 Share Posted August 26, 2017 When we cruised aboard Fair Princess in 2000 there was a 'Harry's De Waves' stall on promenade deck aft, sampled a few pies and peas during the 11 days.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still remember the pies and the superb cream buns from the Wangi Bakery in the early sixties, eaten on the beach looking out to Pulbar Island. How are the pies there now?.

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 27, 2017 #48 Share Posted August 27, 2017 The Wangi bakery that was there years ago had changed hands, and then got pushed out by IGA but they did have good pies when they were in their prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the pies there now?. That would have been Jack Cooke, down next to the RSL in the early 60s, with Charlie Cousins Fish and Chips one side and Dougie Oldham Butcher on the other. The bakehouse is now opposite the park you'd have sat in overlooking Pulbah early 60s it was an overgrown empty block, then the police station, now the bakehouse and a cafe (Wangi Deck Cafe). Haven't had a pie there for ages but mum and dad say they're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up in the old police station now Mic, on the corner, mum and dad say they're still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
