hey im from New Zealand lets talk about meat pies because i at home right now and i really want one.
the first rule is don't add any vegetables ever.
the second rule generally is the less spectacular it looks the better it tastes.
ketchup/sauce is optional its a free country.

do you like mince or steak? with or without cheese?
what about chicken pies, vegetables or no vegetables?

i had a great butter chicken pie the other day.

[Anonymous No.5503295]

I really want one of these. They look delicious.

[Anonymous No.5503304]

>>5503295
they are, if you get the right one, some are fucking shit and i cant understand why people still make/eat them.
then some are amazing.
too often they have a super hard crust of pastry around the outside and you have to break it off.
also if you make your own they just never taste as good as the 99% filler and gravy ones from the dairy or the servo

aussie. meat pies are delicious. excellent on-the-go food.

had one earlier. probably the worst-made pie i've ever eaten - the pastry could barely contain the gravy within and it burst pretty quickly. probably the most delicious pie i've eaten, though.

traditional steak and onion can't be beaten.

[Anonymous No.5504019]

>>5503982
I'm not a fan of either because the crust involved is incredibly greasy and flaky usually. That and there's too much gravy, not enough meat.

Just feels gross with the overload of grease and and mess. I'd rather have a whole biscuit and just dip it into gravy, or have the meat in something more substantial.

[Anonymous No.5505515]

my favorite meat pie is from paul prodhomme's louisana cookbook. it's called "paulette's wonderful meat pie."

Pastry crust; the filling starts with onion/celery cooked in half a cup of butter, then lamb, veal, beef + shredded potatos, cooked together with a ton of spices (red + black pepper, basil etc), spicy pie, then there is a topping where you take 1/2 cream and 1/2 cream cheese, herbs (thyme oregano etc) sit in it for a while, you bake it, om, so spicy but the cream calms it, so rich and fatty

The recipe is little different from a "pot pie" that you make in the USA, it's just wrapped in pastry instead of baked in a dish with pastry on top. So you make the filling, spoon some out on some pastry dough, fold the pastry over it and crimp the seams with a fork. Then bake it.

what do you guys use? do you bind bake first? any tips for when i bake them tomorrow?

[Anonymous No.5508186]

>>5508149

I can't tell you about the type pf pastry, because I always used store-bought sheets as I lacked the skills and tools to roll in properly. But I never pre-baked the shells, The pastry would go into the pie tins (I use to have a tin which would make 4 mini-pies) raw, then get filled with chilled filling, then put the top on, crimp and brush with some egg white and stab two small holes in the top for venting.

Then bake for about 30-45 minutes, longer if I didn't like the look of it. Let them cool a little in the tin, then turn out. They usually turned out nice.

[Anonymous No.5508191]

>>5508186
yeah i made 4 and blind baked 2 of em, i did slits instead of holes and made leaves out of the leftover pastry. gonna egg wash tomorrow before i bake em, any reason you dont use the whole egg?

[Anonymous No.5508214]

>>5508191

Temp sounds about right, don't want it too hot so the pastry will cook without burning. The pastry was usually the non-puff kind and I'm not sure about the egg, that was the way I remember my Nanna used to do it, so that's what I did.

I'm not really that knowledgeable, I go mostly off what I remember my Nan doing as a kid and internet recipes.

After googling that, it's just shortcrust pastry? That or puff pastry are both used. Blind baking depends on the filling. If I am making a large pie as opposed to individual ones and the filling is more saucy than normal, I would blind bake.

also just a blanket comment on the alcohol topic. I'm not sure about the statistics and shit but new Zealand does have a pretty fucked drinking culture and a lot of functioning alcoholics. my dad is/was a functioning alcoholic who drank about a litre of vodka a night and successfully ran a business during the day. quite a few new zealandets drink to drunk most nights and it's kinda just a normal thing when it shouldn't be. I made my dad atop drinking when he cut himself and bled out because he didn't notice and probably only didn't die because he was too stubborn. but it has nothing to do with pie consumption.

>I don't get why Americans don't seem to warm to these pies at all. It's not terribly different to pot pies yet elicits such a different reaction.
Americans don't honestly eat very many pot pies since the 1970s. The amount of fat in a pie crust is double or triple the daily allowance. Yes, we still sell them in the groceries here, and they're occasionally pretty good, like a Marie Callender's kind of good, but we don't eat double crust sweet pies as much either anymore. Most of the people I know who eat pumpkin pie or apple pie at thanksgiving eat down to the crust and leave it on the plate. It's usually some weird shortening flavor in mass produced pies, as well.

I like a pot pie, don't get me wrong, but if I'm going to sin that much, it'll be some chicken wings with skin. I'd just as rather have a beef stew from scratch than have pieshell to eat with it.

I doubt your self-limiting of diet is representative of America in general. People scarf down fast food like mad, and that's no healthier than a pie.

More than 100% beef hotdogs sound right up my alley, where would I go about buying some?
I'm in the market for anything more than 120%.

yeah I know I didn't want to say much but I did. Also that's the point of a good pie. it's just a fucking greasy shit pile basically. Also I font recall any kiwis claiming to be superior pie artisans compared to australia

it's a rough battle. I mean like honestly I'm pretty sure nz is one of the best countries in the world. And it's definitely overall at least a little better than australia.
