For lunch tofay we had pies made by National Pies in Hobart. Woolies stock them. Rectangle shaped classic beef. Very tasty.

 

Top products from Tassie, we often get the Sausage Roll Party Pie Pack for weekend munchies.

Had an Herbert Adams pie today, chicken, leek and Camembert, and now we know that Elmsbury pies in Aldi are made at the same place, using somilar packaging but much cheaper.

We get Herbert Adams pies in NZ too (Aussie made) and they are good, probably the best supermarket ones. Clearly not the range you get, just various beef ones ( Shiraz, peppered steak). My favourite is the beef sous vide, although the chicken, leek and camembert sounds yummy, will keep a watch out for it 😋

Hello, what about the NZ favourite, a Dads Pie, Lemb and vegtible of course with Watties Tomato Sauce. Jubbly. With a Watties ice cream from the Dairy.

Hahaha, I thought you'd done some clever photoshopping with the Watties ice cream until I googled it! Yikes, I need to get out more and broaden my horizons 🤣 

 

I don't know if I've had a Dad's Pie, I've had so many disappointments with the individually sold pies in NZ (unless it's cafe or restaurant made) that I avoid the locally made ones. They taste fine, it's just that they have much less meat in them than the Aussie ones. Will give Dad's a go 🙂

I see Garlo is having another crack at the U.S. market.

Best of luck to them. That country is an enigma. I think they would have a better chance in Canada, that being said we only have 10% of their population.

The marketing should be along the lines of ' what is more American than a pie'

Some areas of USA call a pizza 🍕 a pie 🥧.

Cool and very windy today, good day for a dogs eye.

Found it.

It was chicken pie for lunch today, very tasty. We will be flying out to Boston on the 21st, where we will of course have to try the "Boston Cream Pie" which bears no resemblance to "pie" at all, other than being round but we all know that some pie are squared.

Make sure you visit Little Italy in the North End of Boston for a pizza pie and other great Italian food. Another must is The Union Oyster House for clam chowder. But do not try the clam pizza pie..... Enjoy!

I'll have to remember that when we have a port stop there next year on the Australian world cruise.

 

We're also stopping in New York for two days and are thinking of going to a jazz club the night we stopover. Any suggestions?

Are Freddos pies still operating up at Frederickton, up that way? Always a good stop for a good dog's eye.

I am a bit belated on this, as I haven't had many new pies to try out for a while.

 

In this general location, a diversion off the highway at Kew towards Port Mac had awesome pies at North Haven - Addictive Pie Shop. It has been a few years, so I can't vouch for current offerings. They have been great pies, and the owner was a regular contributor here, but passed earlier this year. Icy Jen's pies always went down well with a couple of Crownies.

That's not really what we want but thanks anyway.

The best place in NYC is on 42nd Street at the Cabaret for All that Jazz.

Birdland Jazz Club ( 315W 44th St) is a favorite of a good friend of mine, she enjoys Arturo O'Farrill who plays there often,  Also the Rose Center at Lincoln Center. The 2024 schedule is not out yet to tell you who is playing when in town next year.

Thanks. That gives us some options when we get to that level of planning.

With the sad news of Mr. Gut's passing I thought a comment on this thread would be appropriate. It was always a pleasure to read him wax on about his favourite food. He was always game for a good dog's eye. I happened to have a small meat pie and a sausage roll for lunch today.

RIP Mr. Gut, condolences to your family and we are sure Maxi is wondering where his best friend went.

[MicCanberra]

Yes, sometimes it is hard for the 4 legged babies to get over.

Could we, should we, ask @LauraS to change the name of this thread to " re Meat Pies (in memory of GUT2407)" ?

I will second that.

If Heaven has a Cafe de Wheels franchise, MrGUT will certainly partake in their products. Going to miss his input to the pastry debate.

Yes, the post was July 7.  I thought it was later on September 7.
