Australia: America Heavy

[valve bouncer]

Haha, suck it Americans, you're not even good at being fat anymore.
Australia is officially the heavyweight champion of the world, according to new figures showing the nation has a greater proportion of obese citizens than the United States.

If you like meat pies, look for empanadas. They are tasty.

And those desert dwelling hicks can kiss my ass, I am eating a whole Entenmann's coffee cake right now. GO MERKINS!

[Lowlight7]

Impossible.

Vegemite is fat free.

[BurlyShirley]

I guess skin cancer can't eat away fat?

[MikeD]

Impossible.

Vegemite is fat free.

That's why you eat it on bacon.

PS I'd kill for a good curry chicken pie. Why oh why won't our BP stations just get a ****ing pie warmer already? Maybe a Lemon and Paeroa to go with it, too.

I have yet to try this "meat pie." After reading this, it won't be anytime soon.

Sometimes you even get more than 1 kind of animal.:thumb:
From Wikipedia;
In April 2002, the Australian Consumers Association conducted a study of 22 frozen meat pies available in supermarkets. They found three brands did not meet the minimum 25 per cent meat content requirement set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), they also found that the fat content ranged from 15 to 35 grams of fat per pie. The ACA study was of a select group of frozen meat pies in supermarkets, thus the study does not account for freshly baked meat pies of which the meat content and nutritional value varies from bakery to bakery. Another study by ACA in 2006 found 5 of the 23 pie products tested had less than the minimum 25% meat required.

In 2006, The ACA awarded pie manufacturer Black and Gold "The CHOICE Shonky Award for UnAustralian Content" for their pies found to contain just 17% meat.[4]

The meats allowed by FSANZ in a meat pie are beef, buffalo, camel, cattle, deer, goat, hare, pig, poultry, rabbit and sheep. Kangaroo meat, a leaner alternative, is also sometimes used. However, most pie manufacturers specify 'beef' in their ingredients list; typically, those using other types of meat will simply put 'meat' in the list instead. FSANZ's definition of meat includes snouts, ears, tongue roots, tendons and blood vessels. Only offal (such as brain, heart, kidney, liver, tongue, tripe) must be specified on the label. Wild animals ("slaughtered ... in the wild state") may not be used
No wonder they taste so good.:thumb:
A good pie from a decent bakery will have quality ingredients. They are actually yummy.

A sh!t load of beer.

[Damo]

NZ has annual meat pie competitions.

I bought a beef, beer & bacon pie from one year's winners. Damn good it was too.

Steer clear of the servo pies. God knows whats in 'em and how long they've been in the warmer for...

[JohnE]

Damnit, America REALLY is on the decline. Damn you George Bush, you see what you have done now?!

"Meat Pie"


is it anywhere similar to Sheperd's pie or is that just a Limey thing?

Not too dissimilar (sic). If you like Shepeards Pie you'd probably like a meat pie. A steak and kidney pie is the duck's nuts I reckon.

[JohnE]

Ducks nuts? Note to self, pack own food for trip to Ozz...

Fattest cunts in the world Johnny E, if it's one thing you don't need to pack for a trip to the antipodes it's tucker. The food is good. My young bloke is as skinny as a robber's dog with all the Jap food but when he goes to Australia he chows down. Reckons Australia owns Nippon on the food front.:thumb:

I just had another Jamaican beef patty for this thread.

It was, however, technically a Jamaican-style empanada made by Salvadoreans, and did not have the appropriately flaky crust...nor was the meat quite right. But it was basically a decent beef curry pie. (Discovered an empanada joint around the corner...)
