Russell21 Posted May 27, 2021 #6177 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Been up the coast for 5 days and got a chance to try the Heatherbrae Pies on the way up and again on the way back. Expensive as pies go but worth it. Edited May 27, 2021 by Russell21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 27, 2021 #6179 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Just stopped in at our local takeaway/cafe and spotted some delicious looking galaktoboureko (the Greek version of a vanilla slice) in their cake cabinet. We bought two slices for dessert. Hope it tastes as good as it looks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Steak and Mushroom pie for lunch that was from our local Thrifty Foods they make them in their in house distribution kitchen. Then for supper it was more pies. Lynn had the chicken pot pie also from Thrifty Foods and I had 2 of the smaller "Real Deal" Australian style pies made in Canada. One steak and mushroom and one chicken curry, both were quite tasty. Notice the different size and they are the same price. I will buy the Aussie style ones they are good but I will be buying the local ones more often. Just a stand alone pie for your evening meal? Supper, Dinner, Tea whatever? Bit sparse Lyle, families here would normally serve up some mash spud or hot chips and veggies, or even mushy peas with it, for a balanced meal. You guys are pieaholics, lol. Edited May 27, 2021 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lyndarra Posted May 27, 2021 #6183 Share Posted May 27, 2021 After seeing the kransky sausage rolls at Bingara on Sunday I decided to grab a couple when I was in Coles on Monday. Here it is Friday and I still haven't decided how to have them. Leaning towards a kransky hot dog - note to self, buy an onion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try one of the Coles Rustic Baguettes, they are really nice and a chunk of that would make a great base for your kransky hot dog. They've got a bit more substance than the usual soft rolls or baguettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some sourcrout or red cabbage , onion and mash potato to go with the sausage roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continental Franks, those fat ones and sauerkraut or red cabbage, plus a nice creamy mash potato with chopped onion therein is a great feed. A little German mustard, or indeed any mustard on the side. Wunderbar !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get them often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 29, 2021 #6193 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Review of Balfours Potato Top Pie. Cooking method: thawed in microwave then baked in oven. The round pies were a little smaller than expected given the packaging. Not a substantial lunch size but OK. The potato topping was soft, creamy and tasted of potato. It was piped on top of the filling in small peaks and there were tiny gaps around the edge between the peaks where the meat dried out and looked a little unappetising. The beef mince filling was tender, just the right consistency, and tasty, although a little underseasoned. The shortcrust pastry was crisp but a little too thick which meant the ratio of pastry to filling wasn't quite right. The flavour tended to overpower the filling. Conclusion. It's a reasonable pie if you can't get potato top pies from a local bakery. I'd probably buy them again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have maps with both on them. We liked Heatherbrae pies, they also do gluten free. A general store at Barrenjoey? Was also good. There sausage rolls were a sausage in pastry roll. We have done it a few times as hubby loves his pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old pub there too, they used to do their own dogs eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
