Well, we can't cruise so we have to find other things to amuse us. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you will note GoFish, started this thread asking about meat pies, he (or she) was quickly answered, the thread wanders around a bit, as conversations do, and now and again returns to pies.

This thread was kicked off in July 2017 by an American asking if he could get a meat pie near his hotel in Sydney CBD. 237 pages later, he she is still getting advice, but we do go off the rails, but what's new. The nice moderators tolerate us, thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted May 10, 2021 #5907 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My son and I have just got home this arvo after attending a niece's wedding on the Gold Coast. We stopped at Fredo's in Frederickton going up and coming back as it seems nicely placed for having lunch between home and Queensland. Both time I had the minted lamb as well as (today) a spinach and feta sausage roll. The minted lamb pies are so good I don't try any of the others although in years past I have brought some home. Fredo's also had a special of 10 pies for $20 in a frozen pack. Unfortunately for me they were sold out. My son just had a normal sausage roll which he enjoyed but he's not really into food and doesn't know what vegetables are, but strangely, enjoys cooking but only for other people. He wasn't looking forward to the wedding dinner (breakfast? Is it still called that?) as it was all vegetarian and vegan but found a few things he liked. One was crumbed, deep fried, cauliflower. I heard a few people say they really liked it and that it didn't taste like cauliflower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 10, 2021 #5908 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Crumbed deep-fried cauliflower is wicked! Totally delicious when done right. I first discovered it about 40 years ago but rarely see it these days. Maybe it's making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I may not have been there because we take the coastal routes from South West Rocks to the coastal Heads. I know Kempsey. It is always good to know a good pie shop when you are travelling.

If you time it right you may get some pies straight from the oven. They also have alfresco tables there so you wont have to worry about crumbs in the car. Or dine in subject to COVID distancing.

dillpickle48 Posted May 11, 2021 #5923 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just finished my road trip to mid-west NSW. My daughter called it a pie quest. Had my hopes raised by reviews for Denman Bakery. Alas it was closed due to baker being in hospital. Hope it wasn't from one of his pies. Pie quest was a fail. Not one pie stood out. Not even at the National Arboretum in Canberra. Looked good but no taste. Called in there to donate one of my late wife's books which is going into their rare book library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even took a photo. Edited May 11, 2021 by dillpickle48 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
