Two course meal Neil, how about an apple turnover for dessert, make it a proper 3 course meal.

 

 

Yummmmmm. I have a weakness for these, especially with mock cream (high sugar content - see my previous post).

I don't think many Aussies would have meat pies for dinner would they, more a lunch thing.

We do, particularly during the colder months, either bought or homemade, ususally served with mashed spuds and veggies. Occasionally have one or a pastie for lunch. I also make pasties and sausage rolls sometimes. My daughter and daughter in law also make their own and serve for dinner.

Thanks Leigh, I don't think I ever had a meat pie for dinner, evening meal, not lunch !.  Even in my working days.  The pie shops closed in the arvo anyway.  Most bakeries that have pies down here have closed up with the lockdown, no business, no tourists and many locals are too paranoid with covid to go out.

Not only Pies, but rolls also. 😟  It is un-Australian. 😉

OMG, I feel ill, who would eat such rubbish?

 

Pie day today, 12C down here and raining, yesterday was the coldest October day in Sydney and SE Coast, I think it just got to 11C here.

 

Lunch awaits...

I would give it a go, or at least have some on hand for my DIL who is vegetarian.

I've tried one of these however from a different brand. Wasn't great, hopefully Four n Twenty does a better version🙄.

I was on the fence with this, I think for me using the word meat is a bit of a problem. I think they should be labeled as Vegetable based savoury pies. Put the no meat part as an afterthought on the label.

Perhaps the Green banner should read plant based and the plant based above the banner could read Meat Free and the place where it says "Meat Free Pie" in the red banner could read Savoury Pie.

Who would eat such rubbish? You ask.

 

People like Mrs Gut who need to follow a largely meat free diet, just as some eat gluten free rubbish, because they have to but would rather the real thing.

 

Mrs G loves the Linda McCartney “sausage” rolls, but the Pattie’s ones are was less $$$$ though only about 7/10 compared to the McCartney version.

Our local Bunnings once had a meat free sausage sizzle.

 

Only once.

I agree the wording bothers me. If you are vegetarian fine but why do you need to pretend something is meat? There was a vegan pie stall at a market I visited and they didn't use meat substitute on their label. They labelled it chickpea pie, seitan pie etc. I found it so refreshing that they weren't trying to convince me it was just like meat. They treated it as its own unique product and that's how IMO it should be.

 Just call these items 'Vegetarian Pies, etc. Would not be as confusing.

Meat free Pies..... What the ?????

 

simply it is meat or it is not....... what is world coming too......

[MicCanberra]

Agree in regards to the labelling, not all pies are meat, so why call it meat free.

[OzKiwiJJ]

I get really annoyed when I see things like plant-based mince or, even worse, plant-based chicken in the supermarkets. If it's plant-based it isn't chicken!

Just stirring Uncle Les, takes a bit to offend me.

I must has beened very good at the quacks today, though I’m buggered, Mrs Gut bought me Herbert Adams, the fact they were on special might have helped

[Russell21]

If the vege heads are so keen on their veges and so down on meat, why do they try to make so many things taste like meat? I've always wondered about this.

[kate59]

Just wanted to say "Thank you" for the info about the Woolworths Gluten Free Pies. I love them, tonight I am going to try the bacon quiche one but the chunky beef is as good a pie as I have tasted, although not a big pie eater.
