    I thought you were a Mag Pie

    What type of meat is in that pie ?


    Nope. I did used to support the Magpies in the footy when I could give a shit but not so much anymore. :)

    My Dad nicknamed me piesnsauce when I was a little girl. :)
    I just get piedies now. :)

    It's usually ground beef in gravy. :)
    NOPE!!!

    I guess the closest we have to those is a "Stromboli"

    Usually filled with cheese/sauce and a meat, usually pepperoni or cheesesteak meat and baked

    We also have Calzones which are filled with Cheese and baked

    I guess the "Meat Pie" is something I may have had under a different name :)

    Really the meat pie is just the same as your apple pie only the filling is meat and the pastry not sweetened. :) But it's shortcrust pastry and maybe the best I could describe the filling is like what you would have in a sloppy joe? Well except it's not tomato based. We put the tomato on top of the pie. As SAUCE!! :D

    We have Calzone. :) Not so sure about Stromboli but probably because we do have a large Italian community here. :) But that's not really like the Aussie Meat Pie.

    I really don't think you have anything like them there. I mean other than at the places I listed in my first post. From what I can gather the Great Aussie Pie has not taken the States by storm. Yet! ;)
    NOPE!!!

    :) 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


    You totally rock. I'm going to eat my homemade pies today for lunch. I hope they're good!!! I forgot Ketchup! Or, tomato sauce, rather. ;)


    Ohhh no, a meat pie is not like a Calzone, and it's not like sloppy joe..I've never had one with mince(ground for us) beef, but some recipes say you can use it. I prefer the steak!

    i prefer the steak too, at least you know what you're getting.

    they're allowed to use almost any part of the cow for mince beef, so it's good to see big chunks of obvious meat... rather than ground up bits of testicle, liver and penis.

    having said that, i still eat them with mince beef
    waiting for the great leap forward

    Wifelet makes the best pies

    Use small ( say 3-4" diameter) non-stick springform pie/cake tins.

    Buy packs of shortcrust and puff pastry in sheets.
    Butter teh inside of the tins, then line with the shortcrust. Add your filling, either beef based, or Thai chicken curry fucking rocks too. Pre-cooking this is best.
    Use the puff pastry for the tops. Remember to cut a couple of nicks in the pastry.
    Bake em til they are brown and serve with mashed potato and tomato sauce. Fountain Spicy Red is the best

    They frezze really well in the prepared, but not baked form. You can pull these from teh freezer and chcuck em straight in the oven. It's easy to cook enough filling for 6-10 decent sized pies and have heaps left over for later, saves a lot of work.

    So how did they go Liz? :)

    Ketchup! :rolleyes: Get it right mate! ;)

    Anyhoo I haven't forgotten I've just been distracted today but I'll get back to ya in the morning and I'm off to the supermarket now so I'll see if they have any tubes of Golden Syrup while I'm there and I grab some of those new Love Potions Tim Tams too. Just in case they tickle ya fancy. :)
    NOPE!!!

    My crusts didn't come out too well cooked...they're edible but i think most people would want them crispier. Here's a question, if I blind bake them first, how do I get the tops to stick?

    And, what's short crust?


    thatirwinfella...that's pretty gross!!

    If I knew what "blind-bake" meant , I could maybe answer that.

    I don't really know ehat short -crust is specifically either, I just asked me wifey what she uses. When I help her cook pies, i just use what she tells me.
    But I'm prety sure if you go teh teh freezer section in a supermarket, there will be packeaged sheets labeeld shortcrust. I think the puff will give you better tops.
    I just lay the top over the edge, and run the back of a knife around the edge of the tin to seal them and trim the excess at the same time. I leave the lining pastry hanging over the edge when I put it in and the two layers just stick.

    I'm going to try it. I'll let you know. Thanks for the advice. i seriously was going crazy with the mushy crust.

    Blind baking is just baking the crust by itself with some weights so it doesn't rise...just to make it crispier before you put it together. :)

    You know it's been such a long time since I made pies, but you might be able to get the top to stick onto the bottom after blind baking with an egg wash? :)
    NOPE!!!

    The package said water...but that sounds better. I put a little egg and milk on top to brown the pastry a bit and it looked like i spilled a yolk over it. haha you'd think i'd never cooked!

    hahaha.. i've got others..

    my sister used to work at the beaumonts factory, which was really good as she came home everynight with all sorts of buns and the like... apple and coffee scrolls, slices everything.

    never pies though, she refused to eat their pies [i didn't...] cause she reckons the last thing she would see everynight as she closed the door behind her was the glow of the pies from all the preservatives in them.

    Coffee scrolls?????? **shakes fist at irwinfella** Damn you!!!! :p:D

    By the way, if you can you really should get down to Queenscliff and get yourself one of those Workman's Pies from the bakery. It's got real chunks of steak and it's just MAGIC!!! :) Bit of dead horse and you're good to go! :)
    NOPE!!!
