Steak and kidney pie is my favourite. I was happy I got the last one yesterday.  It reminds me of the family size home made steak and kidney pies, with a black bird funnel, which I loved as a Child.

I love steak and kidney too, it has a distinctive flavour that many people don't like, so you don't see it much. I made one once but the family weren't keen so that put paid to that!

yes it does.  The highway has been diverted past the small town where I used to buy steak and kidney pies. 😢 😔 
In my travels I discovered NZ was one place you could get steak and kidney, liver, etc. No wonder I feel so at home in NZ!

Not tried these since coeliac hit me in 2010. They still make them. Any of you pie eaters eaten them recently? They used to be ok.  Coles and Woolies sell the steak and kidney version, made in OZ under license by Campbells Soups. Around $10.

The last time I had one was Aldi English products.  It was good but possibly was English one.

Mum used to buy these in the UK many, many moons ago when we were on self catering holidays in England. I bought one a few years back and it didn't disappoint. If my memory serves me well they are from Argentina where the meat is cheap and plentiful 😋

Certainly not camping weather. However all is forgiven when the sun comes out.  I love watching the trotters being exercised in the early mornings. Then watching the flocks of cockatoos fly over.  We had tickets to the National Folk Festival.

I try to avoid the folk shows no matter where in the world we go

We go to the annual Woodford Folk Festival, Byron Bay Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, and the Dorrigo Folk Festival. What music do you enjoy?

All sorts, probably late 70s and 80s pop are my fav, but I won't go to festivals, or concerts, any more unless there are extenuating circumstances.

No meat pies at the Festival but the best quality international food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating at a Festival.  Complemented by home cooking in the tent.

Surely it isn't home cooking if it is in a tent. Lol

Alas it was cold, that being said I like them cold. Steak and mushroom is my default as well. I also bought a chicken, bacon and mushroom as well but haven't eaten it. Last time I bought a butter chicken pie when I was there. I looked for another one but they didn't have any.

Chicken pies don’t appeal to me.  In Tasmania everyone raves about the scallop pies but I didn’t like them although I love scallops. I think it might be the creamy sauce.  I guess I like traditional pies.

Originally made in Argentina, but now made in UK and Australia.  In UK you can get chicken ones as well. 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.
