GUT2407 Posted August 19, 2022 #7759 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I suspect they may have zapped them to thaw and then into the warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took one out of the pie warmer and took it out the back to zapp it. I suspect the warmer was either cold, or the pies had just gone in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warmer was cold wth just some lights for a glow , i guess they put them out of freezer in there and they sit there till microwaved . That's the worst food handling process , even a petrol station has them first in oven then in warmer and time stamped . I too the challenge and tryed one .... one ?!!!!!! Mrs Mac would be turningin her grave , how could Princess fu#€ it up they are road side gas station proof.🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 23, 2022 #7764 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Sounds very bad, but when I cruise, I don't really think meat pies, I think 3 or more course meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you Mic. If an outlet, be it a gas station or a cruise ship, it behooves them to prepare the dish properly especially when it is somewhat the national dish of those consuming it. It is also off putting for non Australians to be served an "Original Australian meat pie" and have it be a mushy microwave mess. When we finally make it on our down under adventure I think I will leave the meat pies to recommended establishments on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy for port days, when pizza, pies, snag rolls, hot dogs, burgers prevent the need for entering the buffet. All the same, it was half a pie while waiting for Brissie sailaway, and switched to a fresh made burger and a slice of fresh baked pizza for lunch in Newcastle. If they were going to make an effort, they shouldn't half R's it. Also possible they get less complaints from nuking them than they do for being dry and hard after a few hours in a warmer.
