Fray Bentos is a town/area in Argentina where the meat canning began. Argentina is a wonderful place, spent a couple of weeks there in 2016. Great meat. Thanks Les. We spent some time in Argentina on a South America cruise, a beautiful and picturesque country. I couldn't get over how much meat you saw though, huge plate-filling steaks and very reasonably priced too 😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know the Argentine connection. I thought they were UK pies. Enjoy your lunch, Les. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mareblu Posted April 15, 2023 #8206 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Another mushroom and steak pie from Garran for lunch today. Seems to be our regular Saturday go-to lunch now, along with take-away egg and bacon roll from Beess & Co, Yarralumla, every Sunday morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how you get into a habit - we always do a grocery shop at Superbarn Kingston at about 8am on Saturdays and have a coffee and pastry at Wildflour opposite before. If very early sometimes we will go to Silo instead but the staff at Wildflour are just lovely. This morning they ran after us to give us a baguette to take home. It will be dinner with meats and other antipasti. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silo is also a wonderful bakery, but haven’t tried Wildflour, but with customer care like that, they deserve patronage. How lovely. Enjoy your antipasti, etc. Barbecued porterhouse for us, with the peperonata I’ve simmered this afternoon. Coast for a few days this week: time to try Sandbar again😋 Edited April 15, 2023 by Mareblu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomato sauce on the pie is not a thing in my world. If we finally do get down under I will try it with sauce because it is a thing there. I will also try a "Tiger" pie although mushy peas are also not part of my world. Yes we have mushy peas, I just haven't felt the need to eat them. I will however try them and the sauce on the pie just to prove or disprove my theory that pies are better with gravy, hold the ketchup and the mushy peas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont use commercial tomato sauce Use home made tomato sauce and you'll be hooked We bought a small jar of bennys real tommo sauce, on our recent travels, tomatoes, capsicum, red onion, brown sugar, sherry vinegar salt and spices. i buy home made whenever i can as it is so much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at the Harry's menu and there are several I would like to try. I could probably do 2 without much trouble. Lynn would maybe try the chicken pie but has trouble eating mushrooms if they aren't chopped finely. With the delay in our trip until after I retire I suspect we will be in Oz for 3 weeks so there will be many opportunities to savour pies in different places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Gut (and indeed I) enjoy Harry’s vegetable pie (I have cheese sauce on it), a local bakery used to do a wonderful Chicken and Vegetable Mornay (that I hav3 with no sauce). the very best pies, 8n my opinion, usually come from small, one off, bakeries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Our local bakery fits in that category. Often a sultana scone or two will be added to my order for free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted April 16, 2023 #8222 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I have tomato sauce on a plain meat pie and sometimes bbq sauce on a plain chicken but otherwise if the pies have a particular flavour or other additions ( curry, mushroom, potato, etc) no sauce as I want to taste the pies flavours fully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone travelling the Princes Highway in Victoria, between Melbourne and Lakes Entrance, I highly recommend the Old Rosedale Bakery in Rosedale. Very nice pies indeed, possibly the best I've had in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted April 16, 2023 #8225 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Pretty much the same. Tomato sauce on plain pie, nothing on other flavours. No chicken pies as I don’t like white goo. On pasties, I go with Worcestershire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
