Here you go Joe,... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_pie_(Australia_and_New_Zealand)

My wife is German and considers a pie revolting and messy to eat. I think, hmm, more for me  .

The meat pie is from England originally (Norman era food), but we didn't like their way, so the Kiwi's, South Africans, and Aussies all decided to do better pies.

From the wiki it would seem the Kiwis prefer it more than us, but we stole their flag so that makes us even.

Pie shops are generally from local bakeries and there are vigorous competitions on who makes the best ones. There is a pie shop at the end of a nice ride roughly mid-way between Al and I. Meeting up there is a biker tradition locally. Just like a roadside diner your way with great 'comfort' food.

Thanks Troyskie.

As it's about 2pm for you it would seem a good time for pie.  Go get yourself one along with a good Aussie beer mate.

I moved to Kansas 20 years ago and was introduced to this meat pie type of dish. https://www.curiouscuisiniere.com/bierocks/

Troy, your bikes all look amazing.

Nooooo Fred......those aren't "pies", they're sandwiches.

Pies have pastry on the outside (not dough) and they have proper (meat juice) "gravy" in them as well !!!

I do love a good pie. Throw some tomato sauce on it ( not this Ketchup crap) and a beer to wash it down Yum. Food of champions.

On the bike front, Troy's main issue now is, which one does he ride to the Aussie FJ Rally.....OR..... does he bring the official FJ Rally Pace car, like last year, with the trailer and bring all 3?

Hmm, I might have to have an FJ sandwich with some local flavour....

Tony Mac (forum member) spent years trying to convert the yanks to meat pies while working for "Four & Twenty".  They would send a few container loads a year over there. Olivia Newton-John's "Koala Blue" stores were in there somewhere too.

Given America's predilection for fast food I would have thought meat pies would be a no brainer over there.
