Tomato sauce with pie

[gossy]

The Vietnamese can be good bakers, but I have found they can't make a decent meat pie for quids.

[CoupeKing]

Most Bakeries that I`ve been to in Melbourne are run by Vietnamese. They were taught by the French while under occupation. Generally they make good stuff, but never had anything out of a pie-warmer worth talking about.

to be honest the "pie" was simply disgusting, actually made me physically sick.

bloody nice beesting though........

oh! and neither place charged me for sauce .....just as an afterthought.

Might have to make the trip out there, are they baked on site or just bought and then chucked in the pie warmer?

I think they were baked on site, because most of the other food had some gourmet twist to it, cant be 100% sure though.

all the bikers stop at Pie In The Sky on the Old Road.... the pies are good & happily they now have a store on Bell's Line of Road in the mountains...sadly I like pies but they do not like me & you can only take so much gaviscon....

took a drive up to Wilpena yesterday, stopped in at Quorn to watch the steamer turn around for it's return trip to Port Augusta, grabbed a couple of pasties at the bakery/four square shop.

noticed the sauce in a basket at the counter $0.25c per little packet thing........first time I've seen it around here.

port augusta has onr of the best little bakeries around, the j and m deli neer the pastoral hotel, best pastie ive ever eaten bar none, though the ones at the wudinna bakery are close.

My family have been in the snowcone business now for 3 generations and we used to make our own syrups.
Many years ago I decided I wanted to make a cola flavour as I believed this would be popular. I was able to source the correct essences's etc but was not able to find the correct food colour to make the cola brown and the manager at the warehouse suggested I use the same food colour that bakeries were using to make pie meat "brown".
I have always wondered what horrible shade of green pie meat must start out as before being coloured!

I would kill for a good Cornish pastie! Bakeries seldom make them anymore, just pies and sausage rolls are the norm these days.

The bakers are ordinary around my area. Rapid Axe is on the money with the Fernvale bakery in QLD - great pies and sausage rolls, worth the stopover for a feed if you're out that way.

Fully agreed that the Vietnamese are great bakers of bread, but not pies or sausage rolls.

Now, just if I could only find the perfect burger joint - that's a matter for another thread.

Cheers!

Edit: I do not drown my food in sauce - it should come sweet to the palate as it comes from the hotbox.

moonta bakery is the best for cornish pasties, Burra aren't bad either, used to be Kadina but they have gone downhill.

[Whitey-AMG]

The sauce is one thing ,fair enough, Pie always needs a bit of sauce to give it that little bit of extra saltiness and acidity. Not a lot - but it does need it.
I just wouldn't have had it without a beer , that's where I draw the line.......

[Syndrome]

Pie with tomato sauce? Yuk! I'd rather a kransky with mustard.

[Feathers]

For anyone in south west Sydney, there is a bakery in Milperra, corner of Bullecourt and Ashford Ave, in a group of shops opposite the BP servo. They bake all their own pies and rolls fresh. Very good, but they sell out early with all the truckies around the area. Quite reasonable prices too.

Snows Bakery at the little town of Alpha...sausage rolls to kill for, meat pies to die for. Shame it's so far out in the middle of nowhere.

If they're my only options I'll take the sausage roll and kill.


No sauce thanks

What is a Cornish pastie?

Hands down worst meat pies are Gillies, Glenroy Bakery and Fergusons.

Fergusons also makes the list for worst custard tart too.

Too many veggies :(

[marty351]

Glenroy bakery used to make good pies, had one every week when I was in primary school.
Not had one lately, but most of the best pies I've had come from the country bakeries.
A good pastie is nearly impossible to find, any suggestions?

[adumb]

One of the best pies I have had was a homemade one from the Cafe at the Little River gun club/world series paintball.
