A meat pie is a meat pie right...wrong
The world of frozen pies is littered with succelant imagery of pies sitting in bakehouses with large chunks of steak covered in rich hearty gravy, however many of these images are deceptive to the untrained eye, or in this case taste bud. I have road tested all the pies you will find in your Coles, Woolworths and Foodland freezers and have established a top 3 to eliminate the need for you to suffer through an unsavoury dinner after a tough day at the office. 3rd - Herbert Adams King Island Gourmet Beef Pie - A pie with a tall structure, with serious fillings of 38.5% meat, crispy pastry and a very complementary gravy. 2nd - Patties party pies - i know, i know not your standard dinner meal, but put half a dozen of these babies on your plate with your 3 veg and you wont be complaining (almost good enough to eat without sauce) and brings us to the number 1 - Clear winner - Sargents Extra Special Grain Fed Beef Pies (be aware - Sargents do produce to 'lower' quality pies, both good but not to this standard) tender beef, amazing rich gravy, perfectly seasoned - it has no rival. Do yourself a favour and place a couple of these in the oven tonight - you will be glad you did.
El Fardo.
