A gross and dangerous Aussie icon: meat pie.

Unfortunately, I have eaten junk food over the last few days (apart from porridge in the mornings), having chips yesterday evening for dinner, when I was at work on an extra shift; and a meat pie today. That was absolutely gross. The chips are junky, but nice, reassuring and good and pure in their own unhealthy way. The meat pie was the only thing left in the canteen at 2pm. That this meat pie has become an Aussie icon is shameful. I don’t eat them much, so it’s repulsiveness was surprising. I thought that it may at least be comforting, filling and have something suggestive to it. Instead, the bland, soggy pastry contained gristly, extremely frightening dark meat. Thank god for the tomato sauce, this took my mind away from the pie, and allowed me to get the calories whilst tasting only a vinegary red sauce, making me (probably wrongly) less scared.

I agree, David, most meat pies are pretty scary. I prefer to make my own using soy mince. (Chips, on the other hand, I will eat from almost anywhere.)

I just discovered you through the Aussie Food Bloggers Ring - I hope you don't mind if I add you to my list of Melbourne blog links!

David said...

Kudos to you, Cindy, for making your own 'meat' pie. I'm not a vegetarian, but when it comes to meat pies, self-preservation tells me that I should be. it's not the fat or sodium - it's the darkness and gristle that frightens me rigid.

Thanks for the link. I hope that you don't mind me returning the favour.
