Coming back to the city this morning from my bush cottage 360km distant, I was way-laid at a rural train-station for 1/2 an hour and trotted up to the old-style cafeteria for some nosh. On the menu was good ol’ bacon and egg pie which was wonderfully encased in some almost decent pastry. Bliss, 'cos I was starving.
So the first bite yielded a mouthful of chopped bacon and whole egg, delicious.
The next bite got to the bottom of the pie where there was a 2cm layer of MEAT, just like the traditional Aussie meat pie. WTF???
I’m still perplexed! I don’t know if this is some sort of local joke, or if the pastrycook made a boo-boo half way through the production process.
What sorts of weird pies have you encountered in your travels?
