6. Yes...but to mince pie, not mincemeat.

We love the old Nonesuch brand mince filling which includes suet. But I have also had mincemeat which includes large pieces of beef. Didn’t care for it at all.

My daughter and I are the main consumers of this family holiday tradition. We were just talking the other day about being a month away from enjoying our mince pie.

12. I actually like both! We agree on large chunks. Gotta be minced! 😋

Depends on what kind of meal it follows and of course..as always..how tasty the crust is.

11. That's a mince pie

Vile little things they are, no mincemeat has gone anywhere near them.

As to meat pies then absolutely, Australians are practically raised on them for lunch.
Always have to remind myself that when Americans say pie they don't actually mean real pies. lol

In fact my home town is famous for this dish, although why I'm not sure.

18. Love Aussie pies! Never had a floater however. After visiting down under I searched for an authentic

pie. I found a place in Escondido that makes excellent ones!

[Thyla]

21. To be fair

I haven't had a floater either but that is because of all the green stuff.

It's one thing I do miss after being away from Oz for so long, a good meat pie. They don't do them in Spain and the Brit shops sell a reasonable approximation of one but the best way is to make them at home.

20. I know the fans enjoy these little pies at the stadiums during the FOOTY games.

I suspect they buy the pies at a concession stand at the stadium, instead of bringing them from home.!?

22. Well back in the day...

My Nan would take her own chairs, two hot flasks for tea and coffee, fresh baked biscuits and all sorts of food. It was cool.

But yes I would imagine these days you can't bring it in so you will buy them at the game. They are a really common snack or meal, cheap and available everywhere.

16. Oh yum!! Looks like a short crust instead of regular pie crust. Even better with hot brandy sauce!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

19. Yes! 😋

[msongs]

23. homemade is way better than that awful stuff that comes in a jar or can nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. It is! 😋
