But yeah, please don't get insulted when people ask for tomato sauce.. it's not automatically an indication that they're unhappy with what's on the plate.

I wouldn’t get insulted if someone wanted to cover up the taste of the slop that some pie makers call meat,but I think it is insulting to spread sauce of a nice piece of properly cooked steak.I eat steak because I like the taste of the meat not some bottled rubbish out of a bottle

Yep, one of the reasons why the chicken parma's are so popular with alledged chefs. Smother it in cheese and sauce, desguises that past its used by date nicely.
Similar to butchers covering everthing in bread bl**dy crumbs these days.

My younger brother had tomato sauce sandwiches everyday for school.
As much as I love sauce on a pie or sausage roll, couldn't do that.

ute83 · 22-03-2021, 05:03 PM

I can do sauce on a sausage roll and even a pastie but a good meat pie has a good gravy which should require nothing further.

It's un-Australian to not have sauce on your pie. The end.

Especially a Tandoori pie, curry pie, chicken pie, pizza pie.

We love football, meat pies (with sauce), kangaroos and Holden cars (well maybe not Holden cars so much).

If this subject needs to be discussed further, please open a sauce or no sauce thread. Although association with some bakery produce, it applies to many other foods. Let's all just get on with enjoying our favourite bakeries. What you do with what you buy is yours and yours alone to decide.
Live and let live, eat whatever you want.

Tragic news today, applicable to this thread
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-...d-72/100033158

There's some journos that need to have a long hard look at themselves. Not even close to being the top story on any local news sites. They should be ashamed.

RIP Vili

Yep, it's a great rags to riches type story, yet he remained extremely grounded and humble.

Yes, I agree he was a very humble man for what he's achieved.

What a baking legend.

A vanilla slice and an apple and rhubarb pie from Nes’s Delights. Unexpectedly open on Good Friday. Bonus!

I didn’t eat both, just the R&A pie. Now I need to get the bike out and go for a ride.

roKWiz · 02-04-2021, 02:59 PM

Looks good.
No bakeries I wanted to visit today but we passed through Glenrowan and stopped off for a late brekky at the Vintage Hall Cafe.
Beaut large BLT and yummo chips.

I'd have smashed them both and just gone for a longer ride

I’d have smashed them both and just gone for a longer nap.

Do I win the prize for honesty?

Marmalade and home baking…

Have quite a quantity of marmalade from when it was my father’s current obsession for putting on toast. He’s decided it makes him cough (the coughing is actually from dementia scrambling the processes of mastication, swallowing,breathing). There are maybe four or five decent size jars from the apiarist-and-jam-maker.

Looking for suggestions about how to bake with it, that offer a good balance of effort/presentation/taste.

Yup. Riding lets me enjoy my baked goods, guilt free.

Scones are nice with the marmalade baked into them. Cup cakes can be made with a marmalade mix like the pastries Trendseeker posted. I've seen marmalade used as a sweetener for baked chicken wings, breast even done it myself with a marmalade marinade in tofu.
Use it the way you would with flavoured lemon dishes.
Try not to over do the taste though.

Made party sausage rolls to take along to the RSL club yesterday. They were well received.

**X-AHH** · 18-04-2021, 10:24 AM

If you live in Adelaide, you need to visit one of these.

A chunky steak and red wine pie from my previous recommendation.

Citroënbender · 18-04-2021, 02:10 PM

Is it just me, or is the pastry slightly thick?

Tassie f100 · 18-04-2021, 03:03 PM

Dunno about the pastry,but I like the look of the steak pieces. You wouldn’t need to drown it in sauce to get some taste into it,unlike some excuses for meat pies

The pastry crust was at the perfect thickness, it's just the camera angle that makes it appear a bit too thick.

They were very tasty chunks of meat and I definitely didn't use sauce on a pie of that calibre.

Bought a loaf of bread from a local bakery and asked if they had any custard tarts.
'Yes!', says they, so I bought one... they bagged it.. I took it home...

... what kind of abomination is this?! Who makes custard like this?! It doesn't taste like the yummy yellow stuff either.

Citroënbender · 22-04-2021, 11:44 AM

Did it taste any better with sauce? Looks like a potato pie with jaundice.
