But they won't taste as good without all that fat, jelly gravy stuff if they start actually putting meat into them.

[SARGE]

Current regulations on both sides of the Tasman require a meat pie to contain at least 25 per cent meat. The formal definition of "meat" is wide enough to include any part of the animal carcass, or even a bird foetus.

But Aussie pie maker Bakewell Foods, trading as Mrs Mac's, wants the definition changed to content of at least 25 per cent "meat flesh": muscle tissue and any connected rind, fat, blood, nerves, connective tissue, and skin.

Foetuses. Kent Atkinson at NZPA (the news item's author) is just messing with you. By "bird foetus" he really means eggs.
