I only have one thing on my bucket list, and that's to go around Australia in a Pre 65 car stopping at small town bakerys for a pie. and write a travelers guide to the Aussie Pie
That's got nothing to do with the price of sauce debate, but I think it needed to be said But to be on topic I recon the sauce is something that should be included with the cost of the pie

Beef and red wine. The shiraz costs 50c extra!
And Big Damo, I used to work around Macedon Ranges and found Lancefield F&C shop excellent value too. Kyneton was going all cafe'n'gourmet but the foodies in Macedon was my fave. Woodend had/have a few good value for money/quality places, but some could gouge your wallet before you even opened it. As for sauce no more than 40c. 90c! WTF?! Her loss. |

"Australians love a good meat pie. Where to get a good one is a popular topic among those who crave a delicious pie. The Pie Buyer’s Guide to Australia was just waiting to be written. Now at last we have the essential guide for grey nomads, travelling salespeople and anyone who makes a pie the lunch they long for from the moment they start work. More than 400 pies were sampled by the authors on an exhaustive yet enjoyable trip around every state and territory. But this book is about more than reviews. It is about what constitutes a decent pie, our pie culture and history. Apart from being the essential reference no home, caravan or library should be without, it will be the foundation for further discussion and enlightenment about pies. So buy the book and then put your points of view and queries on the blog. "

actually $0.90c per packet of sauce isn't too bad.......we went to the casino once and they wanted $10 per chip.

Speaking of pies.
My local bakery has just been bought out by some hipsters, and pies are now $5.50 each up from $3.00. BUT I'll give everything a try and happy to pay for quality. I must say they are the best damn pies I've had in years and have gone back 4 weekends in row now....... pies have 3 or 4 big chunks of slow cooked steak in a red wine gravy. ![]() Sauce would be sacrilege. |

I always have tomato sauce on my meat pies. 90 cents, 20cents or free.
The real hard hitting issue is why do some people use a knife and fork to eat a meat pie! ![]() |

Saucegate: A 2014 scandal involving an independent bakery in Tamworth, Australia that attempted to charge a member of Ford Forums 90cents for a small sachet of tomato sauce to accompany a meat pie. The injustice of the excessive charge generated a wave of outrage from other forum members and significant gnashing of teeth ensued.

![]() They're Brits. Like my old man. And pizza too. The only pies that should be eaten with a k&f are the ones you cant hold in your hands. (family pies, etc.) |

But there is hope, the research for this rag wasn't conducted in a pre 65 car. Let's face it a pie is best served with your arm resting on the window ledge

All this talk of pies makes me want a pie floater. How I miss the pie cart in Adelaide, much better 2am meal on a night out than any of the fast "food" chains.

Not a pie purchase but fish and chips in Innisfail a scoop a piece of fish they give you two pieces of fish for $5.50 and a dagwood dog was about $12.50. I asked for a sachet of sauce they did not have any but gave me a cup about a quarter filled with tomato sauce for free . I could not eat all of it such a big scoop was going to have a pie but was told how good the fish and chips were its now a favourite in my GPS

The story of ‘Harry’s Café de Wheels’ goes back to the depression years of the late 1930’s. With the world on the brink of a devastating war, an enterprising Sydneysider by the name of Harry Edwards opened a caravan café near the front gates of the Woolloomooloo naval dockyard. Word spread quickly with Harry’s ‘pie n’ peas’ and crumbed sausages soon becoming a popular part of the city’s nightlife – keenly sought by sailors, soldiers, cabbies, starlets and coppers alike. Harry operated the caravan until 1938 when he enlisted in the AIF during WWII. As the years have passed, Harry’s has become a ‘must’ for visiting celebrities. Harry’s has served up the likes of Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum, Marelene Dietrich, Kerry Packer and more recently, Sir Richard Branson, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Brook Shields, Pat Rafter, Olivia Newton-John, Jerry Lewis, Billy Crystal, Pamela Anderson, Sara O’Hare, Lachlan Murdoch, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Adrian Greiner, Anthony Bourdain and Peter Blakely. So get it right, why would the yanks have a pie cart Harry's is only a world famous Sydney eatery ![]() But I'll accept that Harry's hasn't been a traditional pie cart for a very long time ![]()

If someone has a bad experience with a store they will tell about 10 people about it. But when they have a good experience with a store they may only tell a couple of people, if any. With the internet these days people are even more likely to complain to a much larger audience about bad service they received somewhere. I now realize after gaining a few more year life experience that's so true. I had a bad experience a few years ago with a steakhouse around here. If the topic of restaurant and especially steak comes up, I will always tell whoever I am speaking to about my experience and how useless that place is. I have noticed a lot of people are happy to discuss the times when a company has done something wrong, ripped them off or something like that. But I almost never tell people about the time I went somewhere and got decent service and decent food. Also I am the type of person who regularly goes to the same places if I get decent service, prices, ect. If shops start scaring off regulars, that could be thousands of dollars in a year they are missing out on. |

I don't know where it was (but it was some time after Lou Reed and before the Ramones on the iPod) but a group of mates and I were heading to Queensland to pick up a car that according to our partners one of the other guys owned
![]() I in my infinite wisdoms proclaimed that we MUST get a pie at the next place we drive by. We stoped at this little servo with a truck stop type diner attached, the diner wasn't really open at that time so we went to the pie warmer and there were no pies left. The cook out the back heard my deceleration of how ****** this is and came out and informed us that a fresh batch of pies he had baked for the following days food warmer was just out of the oven and if we were to wait a moment he would serve them up with chips for us OMG this was the best pie I have ever eaten

yeah! thanks you buggers.......all this talk about pies made me want one, so I gathered up my thoughts and went to a "french hot bread bakery" (run by vietnamese, figure that one out).
anyhow, they whacked it on a plate, I smothered it in dead horse and into it......bloody horrible, glutinous, unrecognisable substances, slimy, slithery taste.......in short utterly disgusting. spat the dummy, packed up the boss and our lad and headed for a little bakery we know of just out of Wirrabara......best pies in the southern hemisphere, big lumps of easily recognisable steak and kidneys with onions spilling from every bight......big cup of coffee and a damn fine chinwag with a few travellers......glorious. re-instated my faith in the humble meat pie.
