If you don't help yourself, you cannot expect others to do it for you.;)

It was one of those days where helping myself was out.

[MicCanberra]

I thought Pi day was 14 March.

 

You know 3.14 but maybe that's just the nerd in my coming out.

 

Like star wars day is 4 May.

 

I was referring to Pie day not Pi day. The ABC radio was spruiking it last week.:D

 

BTW, star wars day is May 4th, not 4 May:p

[MicCanberra]

Or as I have actually heard, "Bad effluence". :rolleyes:

 

I have heard many speak people Australian effluently.:p

[MicCanberra]

Ahhh so German Asian.

 

Yes, but not quite Mien chow or Chow Mein.;)

Missed it, but any day is pie day if you ask me.

 

Loved that Princess had pies last year. Hope Emeral does this year, but I think I can go a week without, now a month??:eek::eek::eek:

[GUT2407]

Yes, but not quite Mien chow or Chow Mein.;)

 

True multiculturalism.

Someone called it something else to me once not sure I will tell you cause it might actually make you feel like never having another snot block ever again

[GUT2407]

Don't think it'd be possible to turn me off.

 

But then when I was a kid a pie was a maggot bag and I guarantee you I've put a few of them away.

 

Next cruise Mrs G wants to go to Ross and I've agreed simply because the pie shop there does a great job of both. Or did last time I was there anyway.

Aldi, catering for those who normally get their culture from Yoghurt.

[Russell21]

Is anyone here old enough to remember the "Real" Sargents pies, not the abominations that go by that name now.

They were a pie that I still occasionally whimper about missing.

I had a Herbert Adams pie last Friday (yes the ABC story made me buy some while at the supermarket) and they were very nice, lots of met and not too much gravy and no gristle at all.:D

Sure do, probably changed in the 70s I guess.

 

Aldi Chunky aren't bad for a frozen pie.

[Hawka]

heard different sayings for going to the loo like dropping the kids off at the pool i think dropping a load off were a couple of them

[GUT2407]

Yeah remember that one.

Herbert Adams aren't bad either.

[MicCanberra]

Herbert Adams aren't bad either.

 

Very nice, and I didn't get any reflux which some pies (gravy) tend to give me.:D

Harry's are probably my favourite.

[OzKiwiJJ]

I'm spoilt! Local bakery, The Cakeman, has awesome pies, and really good coffee. :D

[MicCanberra]

Harry's are probably my favourite.

 

Pie floater perhaps?;)

[Beanb41]

Harry's are probably my favourite.

 

harry the hub's pies aren't quite the same since they were franchised off. I am off the sixties in the RNZN when we would bounce of the walls of HMAS Kuttabul coming back from the Cross to find the Harry de Wheels pie cart outside Garden Island dockyard gate. Officially it was Harry de Wheels but some kiwi sailors stole the wheels and thus we called it Harry de Hubs.

 

Without being racist it isn't the same to see an Asian serving up a pie, mushy peas, gravy on a paper plate and plastic fork.

Some of the old romanticsm has gone over time
