Apparently that apple and cheese pie is a Japanese invention and Hokkiado Baked Cheese Pie outlets are all over Australia. http://www.hbctaus.com.au

Boutique pie outlets then.  $3.90 for a 4 inch tart, not a bad price, but I cannot see anything else in their range.  No GF either.😒  They have opened up a few outlets, I do hope they survive.

I agree, and some of those "gourmet" concoctions shouldn't be allowed to be called pizza either! 

I don't mind some of the strange things, if I like it then fine, otherwise not ever again.

When I lived in America in the 80s, apple pie with some sharp cheddar cheese was sometimes on offer.

 

I was told it was a New England tradition. Not quite in New England, but my flat mate and family from Philadelphia used to serve it.

I’ve had American friends dish up a slice of apple pie with a slice or two of cheddar cheese, but not with cheese sauce inside the pie, they took a bite of pie and a bite of cheese together, I ate my pie and then my cheese separately.

I would try it.

I’ll try just about anything, some things only once, others I return to all too frequently.

By my calculations that makes $64.35 for a five foot six inch full sized tart. Quite good value these days.😄

Ok,I thought I would never weigh in to this topic bu last week while at Tweed Heads Bowls Club there was much talk about the meat pies,made on premises from beef from their own butcher shop.

What can I say, full of chunky beef full of flavour, I am  gluten intolerant but can tolerate a little so had about a square  inch of the crusty shell, husband declared it best pastry ever on a bought pie.

Best meat pie I have tasted apart from the ones my Mum used to make with lots of kidney.

Cheers Carole

I don't really get into tarts as much nowadays, tend to stick with pies.

Strike me pink.

 

just got an email from Harry’s Cafe, they are selling quiche, what is the world coming to, one of them doesn’t even have any meat in it.

 

It’s not April first is it???

Sharp Cheddar Cheese, now you are talking, I live on that and red wine. Lubbly Jubbly.    I like the vintage Cracker Barrel or a bit of Mersey Valley.   If you are down Bega way, call into the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre, museum, café, cheese tasting and sales. Some vintage cheeses there you won't find in the supermarkets.  I will be down that way this weekend, well into Merimbula on Saturday to see a show, will call in to the Bega Cheese on the way back Sunday for some sharp cheese.

Indeed, extraordinary good value for a big tart.😝

Lived at Narooma for many years and remember the many cheese factories that existed before the Bega Co-op, as it was then, bought them all up and closed them down. Have a fondness for the Bega Black label vintage cheddar, good but not as good as the Bodalla vintage cheddar that was strictly only available to locals in the know. It was kept an extra 12 months maturing time.

It's a British cheese and it's sold in Australia. Harris Farm Markets have it, as do some delis.

Have to keep a look out for it.  I don't mind the Cracker Barrel, made by Warrnambool Cheese these days.

We grew up on this stuff. Cardboard box and wrapped in foil.

Such good quality they did not have to have it in the refrigerated case.

Good stuff, is it still available?  We had it in tins in the Army - Compo Rations.  Some liken the Kraft processed bloke as akin to a bar of soap, in looks and taste perhaps?   Being a 'cheesaholic' I do not mind it.

 

On another note, I feel my new avatar is a bit 'Cheesy.' 😆
