I had a lot of these in Australia. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them in Los Angeles! One would think with all the cultural food places here that I could find one!!!


Anyone know of one? Or maybe a simple-ish recipe? I tried one this weekend....and it turned out ok.......but I sorta suck at it. I want to be able to purchase them!!!

Anyone?

    If I thought I could freeze em and send over to you I would. But I doubt customs would let them out of the country let alone into yours.

    I'll let you know next time I'm coming over, maybe they'd let me take em in my hand luggage?! ;):D

    If you like I could have one for you? :D
    NOPE!!!

    Ha! Thanks for the links. If only I knew how easy customs actually was when I came back! They didn't check a thing!


    Oh I miss the meat pie!!!!!!!!!

    I seriously thought I'd find them here! And no golden syrup either!! WTF????


    I'm drooling looking at those links!

    Really???
    Wow! Of course I get checked going in and out. :o Must just be something about me. :D

    I reckon I could probably send you golden syrup. If it's sealed and all should be ok to post. But I don't think you can post perishables and I reckon meat pies would qualify as perishable. BUT it does look like they might be about in some places. I had THE BEST PIE at Queenscliffe a few weekends ago. Man it was JUST MAGIC! And I haven't had a meat pie in years! But this was really just like pies used to be. :)
    NOPE!!!

    When I visited Melbourne I stayed with a friend and I made her buy frozen "party pies" for the times where we were up late and didn't want to go out for them!

    I simply fell in love with them! We had them at restaurants, bakeries.....I'm sure I gained a few pounds on that trip!

    I brought some golden syrup back with me on this trip but, I think you're right. You can ship it! :) I shipped some sealed stuff to Melbourne and it got through fine. You guys are stricter right now than we are.

    oh man I miss me some Tim Tams too......we don't have anything Arnotts!!!!!

    you're missing out if you can't get your hands on some pies.

    probably the best things since the invention of the meat pie are the vending machines that dispense warm pies with sauce, and pies that can be microwaved and stay crisp.

    up the road from me, there's two really good bakeries that i frequent, which sell awesome pies. Pepper steak would have to be my favourite, closely followed by chicken curry.

    <idea> if you love the pies so much, go to this link. it's a pie company that does franchises; http://www.jesters.com.au/ you might be the first juester's pie company in your part of the world.

    :) I got a couple of packets of Tim Tams sitting here right now that I'm posting out for Christmas. If you pm me an address I can pop some in the post for you too if you like. And I can get you some Golden Syrup too if you like. :) Just let me know.
    Can't help you with the party pies. :D BUT MAN I LOVE PARTY PIES!!!! :D
    NOPE!!!

    it's the thought that counts. don't tell too many people, it'd be like stapling a NZ flag to your back... you just don't do these things.

    nah, the eureka flag is acceptable, but only if you say "youse" a lot, or pronounce "-ing" as "-ink"

    perhaps you should compensate by getting an aus flag bikini. better post some pics to prove it :D

    joking...

    An Aussie restaurant in New York called Eight Mile Creek does a pretty good Maggott Bag. Don't know about LA though.
