[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 295101, member: 1991"] Gotta introduce you to an Aussie meat pie. Don't worry about not being a meat eater ... there's about the same amount as in a hot dog. The most common way of eating a meat pie is in your fist, with a squirt of tomato sauce on te pie. Some people daintil remove the lid of the pie, spoon out all the fillnig then eat the crust. The traditional way to eat one is as a "pie floater" - the pie sitting on a puddle of "mushy peas" - green peas cooked and mashed ito a thick pea soup. You can also have the "Tassie tiger" - the pie floater with tiger stripes of tomato sauce (aka ketchup - but we don't call it that). You can get those at the iconic Harry's Café de Wheels, we now have several of these caravan cafe things around Sydney but the original has been there for over 60 years, the troops were buying their pies there as they embarked to sail off to WWII. At Harry's there are photos of various famous (and infamous) faces who have bought a pie there and had teir photo taken eating it. On the side of the caravan you can even see Colonel Harland Sanders - eating a Harry's pie floater! Just had to share tat one. It's down the road from difficult child 3's school (the correspondence H/O in the city). When US warships berth in Sydney, Harry's is the first food place they meet, it's right on the corner of the dock. You can sit and eat your pie and dangle your feet over the Harbour. Hotdogs? We don't eet no steenkin' hotdogs! Marg [/QUOTE]
