A good Aussie meat pie

 Pie

Enroute to a gig at Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush this evening, we took a detour to Jumbucks, a restaurant chain that specialises in Australian pies. Because I don't eat red meat I've never really missed the "national dish" but T tucked into one, with a side order of the most delicious chips ever: piping hot, golden and crunchy on the outside, and lovely and floury on the inside. They look pretty gorgeous in this picture, don't they? I'm feeling hungry just looking at them...

Having just had a packet of dried pasta heated up via hot water from a kettle, this is making me mighty hungry too!

Just to say I've dropped by. Twice now, in fact. So how's it different to normal TypePad?

Hope it was a Four'n Twenty - the great Australian Pie.

Humanistic, I'm still trying to figure that out. Basically it's stripped back -- far less ability to customize -- and easier to use.

Harry, ummm, no, it wasn't Four'n Twenty but one of Jumbuck's own branded meat pies. Here's the menu: http://www.jumbucks.com/pies.htm

Bubba, a rather shambolic, and somewhat disappointing, set by Liam Finn.

An expat's version of heaven Remember that post about Jumbuck's pie shop? Well, I didn't tell you the best part. The shop also sells Australian sweets/lollies, including Cherry Ripes, Violet Crumbles, Caramello Koalas, Mint Patties and Summer Rolls. You name it, they had it. In fact, there were some lollies here that I hadn't seen since I was a kid, such as Chomp chocolate bars and White Knights. My eyes were nearly popping out of my head when I saw them all. Sadly, because we were going to a gig, I couldn't stock up on "chonks", but I did buying a couple of smallish items...
