As far as I can find, they are produced exclusively for Aldi, I wouldn't be surprised if they are linked with Herbert Adams pies, which have very similar pies and packaging. Thanks Mic. I'll have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another point to consider. https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/food/shoppers-bizarre-find-in-her-aldi-meat-pie-c-1207711 Yep saw that but that wasn't one of the gourmet range.

The packaging is just to trick you 😂. You see it even with Woolies and Coles homebrands they always try to make them look like popular brands.

I wonder if they had apple pies for desert or apple and rhubarb even better? I catered for many weddings, parties, anything, a few years back (has it really been twenty three years?), never had anyone ask for pies. They would be a bit hard to do on a spit roast.🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarramar Posted April 11, 2023 #8162 Share Posted April 11, 2023 When I was at school & uni, I worked at KFC. We quite often got large catering orders of up to several hundred pieces of fried chicken for weddings. Occasionally the order included chips! Even as a teenager, I thought this was gross.

Rare MicCanberra Posted April 11, 2023 #8163 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I got a large Red Rooster order of chicken pieces for my engagement party, it supplemented all the other food such as salads, bread rolls, ham, cheeses, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted April 11, 2023 #8164 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Anyone had pies etc from Nabiac, with its big best pies sign, on Pacific Highway?

Rare MMDown Under Posted April 13, 2023 #8175 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Steak and kidney pie is my favourite. I was happy I got the last one yesterday. It reminds me of the family size home made steak and kidney pies, with a black bird funnel, which I loved as a Child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
