I like a good chunky beef pie,but I can appreciate that times are changing in regard to dietary preferences,so if the judges felt the non meat pie was best so be it

Two blokes flew their helicopter into Blackbutt a couple of days ago. They promptly landed, made their way to the famous Blackbutt Bakery, picked up a couple of pies then flew out.

Class act. Got their priorities right and probably a non rabbit food, proper MEAT pie.

[.:4:.]

I think its the wording that is incorrect. Pie, well that could be a cow pie, as in what comes out of the rear end of a cow, a mince pie is one of those horrid fruit ones that pop up at every christmas lunch. A chicken pie has chicken in it, a vego pie sucks, and a meat pie has cow in it not its excriment.
Or thats how i like to differentiate pies. Not just 1 term fits all.
Personally im a meat pie person. Keep it simple, steak and onion, steak and mushroom.
My criteria for a good pie is simple. 2nd is quality filling. 1st is structural integrity as in the ability to eat with one hand and not mess your shirt. Any pie, or person that finds it necessary to use a knife and fork to consume. 100% not worthy.
So as not to be mega hypocritical, my all time favourite meat pie is the mexican pie from the skyline bakery in frenches forrest. It has a lot going on and looks confusing. But its kind of like a unicorn flying through a rainbow.

But should it be.

Heard the latest coffee to win the "Best Brew Award" was a double decaf Caro skim chai latte for outstanding combination of every ingredients supplied.

Second was a baby hot chocolate that related to being a coffee of substance.

[marty351]

It is the "best brew award", so tea, beer and many other brewed beverage should be eligible too.

If anyone is passing through Coober Pedy, this place is well worth a try.

CK Bakery. It doesn't look much from the roadside but don't let that fool you.

They also have burgers, sandwiches, soups and many other choices.

I had a steak n mushroom pie. Nice crispy pastry and good depth of contents with a pleasant flavour.

Thread-Ban-worthy that pic.
No surprise its on special.
Also no surprise the images on the packaging show no internal views. Crispy pastry will only get you so far.

[Citroënbender]

Off you go to Tonz’s place - his Mrs is cooking whitebait fritters for supper.

I reckon Woody will be game enough to test one, if he reads these posts.

[Tonz]

not exactly bakery but be careful what you say....

Tonz posted the link. Don't worry, I'm un Australian too, buying imported diesel.

On my way up to Newcastle, from Gippsland, via the scenic route.

Heard that the Mitta Mitta General Store has good, homemade pies. Decided on a chunky beef and stout. Naturally, no sauce; I want to be able to taste the flavour!

Nice size chunks of beef, nice gravy, nice touch of stout. Maybe could have been a little stronger. Pastry would have been better if it wasn't a little on the soggy side.



Seemed like the owners /operators were having a bit of a domestic, so the atmosphere wasn't great. Natural scenery was tho, although it would have been better if there wasn't some low cloud around the nearby hills.

[roKWiz]

Missed my opportunity.

One of my locals (Woodcroft Tavern) duz a decent slow cooked beef, mushy and onion pie with chips, gravy n rabbit food.
Nice crispy short crust coffin with a puff pastry lid. The contents were really tasty as was the gravy. Perfect for a Winter Sunday lunch.

I went to the woodcroft tavern here in SA a few months back and was underwhelmed. Glad you have found something worth eating there.

Must admit, I totally agree and after a few bad experiences last year, I had to pluck up the courage to give them another go. The food offerings I saw being delivered to other tables looked really good too, so perhaps they have a new chef now.

That seems like a lot of gravy both on and in the pie for me. But everyone's taste's are different.
