Ah yes, the pie, warm, comforting, oven baked goodness! When most Yanks get to Australia for the first time and hear the word "pie" they probably start thinking about a sweet, sticky baked dessert with a fruit (the apple pie), chocolate, or otherwise equally tasty filling; however; here in Oz the standard pie has a much different stuffing.


Australians love a fair dinkum meat pie, and who could blame them! I'm pretty fond of a good meaty beef pie, it's the quentissential grab n' go grub here. It's the best mate of workers, drinkers, and weekenders a like.
They are almost impossible to beat really. I mean really, there are few mills that consist of 2 sides, a meats tucked into warm pastry that can fit into the palm of your hand.
Don't let the size fool you either, they really feel you up when you need it the most, and if that doesn't do the trick just have another (like Chicken, Bacon n' Leek or Curry or Steak/kidney)

When you're pie shopping look no further than Harry's Cafe de Wheels. It is the unofficial pie institution which sets the standards for all other take away pies. They also have some awesome hot dogs and other snacks as well.
There is one in Liverpool that I frequent a lot (which hosts weekly American/Aussie car enthusiast gathering), and of course the original one in Woolloomooloo.
