[Joni]

I dont eat pies....
So non-kiwi huh?....
:spudwhat:

[MSTRS]

Mmmmmmm, p-o-r-k pies (not the hats, silly)

[jrandom]

THE THAI CHICKEN AND BUTTER CHICKEN IS REAL GOOD.

Yup, it is. Mmmm, mmm.

I'm not generally a pie eating type, but those BP Express pies have lured me over to the dark side on several occasions...

[MOTOXXX]

have to say the bp pies are good.
theres a place in wellington down island bay calld trishes pies? or something like that. there pretty good and have a good weight to them.

[speedpro]

There was a little cafe up Plimmer steps that baked 'pork and kumara' pies that were very very yummy, plus one of the girls used to sing opera. Also the 'thai chicken curry' pies from Alleluya cafe in St Kevin's arcade on K' Road - yummo. They used to supply a home made chutney stuff to put on it as well.

[Velox]

Well there's this petrol station up the road with really good pies ......

[loosebruce]

Fuck i love pies, bacon and egg is for me, but two months of basiclly eating pies and an extra 15kg have left me wondering if i can fit into my leathers again. Back to the pushbike for a while.

I have to admit too many pies not enough running have cost me 30 kg's since i started my current job.

All time fave would be pats pantry chicke kumara and apricot .d...r....o....o....l.

When pissed nothing tastes quite like a BP peppersteak pie. (never Heaved after ward and the hangover seemns to be less despite needing something to lean on at that stage!)

New Kid on the block is a real contender though Mighty Ben (shameless plug, now available at Caltex Grey lynn) 215 grams means really good pastry to filling ratio combined witht the tried and trusted big ben filling.

also worthy of a mention:
Rabbit and cranbery (horse and trap during the food festival 2003)
Deer redwine and tamarillo sauce, (as above)
Mrs Macs beef bacon and cheese (Avail Caltex Grey Lynn)
Mrs macs Chilli Beef & Cheese (avail Caltex Grey Lynn)
Tamarillo, Kumara and pork. (was from a bakery in inglewood before it burnt down).
Dont forget the venerable eskimo pie.
Even as a confimed carnivore I still like spinach and cheese!

[inlinefour]

there was a cafe that did a spicey Maroccan(sp) pie. Blardy awesome and way better than a BP turd pie.

[Ramius]

Steak and Tomato from the Hot bread shop on st johns st in Opotiki. Now those pies are something to write home about.
Also, the butter chicken pies from the Gisborne airport...YUMBO :yeah:

Raised there for several years of my youth. Still have family there, and when i can, I try to get me a pie...I am an avid pie eater...

[Deano]

have to say the bp pies are good.
theres a place in wellington down island bay calld trishes pies? or something like that. there pretty good and have a good weight to them.

Trisha's pies make an awesome vegetarian pie.

I had a BP Thai Chicken pie last night and it was great. Beats some of the crap pies you get from the servo.



Has anyone from the wellington region had a pie from a place called, Alice town? They won "pie of the year award" a few years back, fucken brillant pie, its about the only pie that tastes good to me, oh and potato tops, cant go wrong with any potato top.


The shop changed hands soon after winning that award. Dunno if the quality is the same now.

[Deano]

This thread is making me hungry.

Bloody good timing I reckon - its morning tea time and someone is leaving work today and putting on a spread. Time to pig out.

[duckman]

No one else has mentioned them so I will ......

Gorgie Pie ... hmmmmm

Setting the scene:

3:00am
Been out all night boozing...
Five bucks left in your pocket ...

I'll have:

2 small steak mince and cheese pies
2 small fries
1 small coke please.....

No more hangover!!!


Also, theres a member on here who is part owner of Tally's Pies on Ponsonby rd.

[cliffy]

:niceone: the corner cafe in greytown!! the best damn pies in the world. :niceone: if you are in greytown or just callin through ya gotta stop and have one you won't regret it, but make sure your there at the lunch hour cos they go fast and are only open till about three.
they do all the fancy flavours etc.

[FzerozeroT]

BP is the reliable choice when you're on the road, but if you're ever cruising through Waipukurau down in hawkes bay stop in at Greenlands Bakery. Potato Top heaven. Only takeaway I know is any good in hamilton is Happy Days on Norton Road, the best Sweet and Sour pork that we can get (and we've tried about 20 places) so we drive 20 mins to get it.

Threre's a difference?

Threre's a difference?
YES BP EXPRESS PIES ARE MADE BY ONE MANUFACTURER IN SILVERDALE TO EXACTING STANDARDS , THE OTHERS ARE SOURCED LOCALLY AND MADE WITH PIG NOSES DOG TESTES AND COW EARS OR WHATEVER

[Waylander]

Ok wait a second, you just said the the BP express pies were crap and now you're sayin it's the other way round? Clarification needed me thinks.:spudwhat:

[MSTRS]

Heavens Bakery in Taradale won the Best Pie comps for years, not sure about this year tho. Best pies I ever tasted were from a bakery in Petone called Yolandas. Was a few years ago now - are they still there?

[erik]

The silverdale bakery does good pies, the chicken curry ones are particularly good.
The New Windsor bakery (in the shops near the Maioro st and Windsor rd intersection) does pretty good pies and other stuff too and are pretty cheap.

I was surprised how good the BP pies were when I tried one. Much better than Big Ben or Irvines etc. Bit more expensive though too.
Anyone know a good place near AUT to get pies? The student cafeteria there only has Irvines pies (which are ok, depending on how long they've been cooked and whether you're unlucky enough to find a lump of fatty chewy crap in them [the steak ones, anyway]).

[MrMelon]

I remember having one of those butter chicken pies at bp in silverdale last time I was there and it was awesome.

[saiko]

Always appreciate a pie conniseur, especially at 3am after a few bevvies.

There's also a member who was managing the Porirua Georgie Pie when it opened.

[speedpro]

Fuck i love pies, bacon and egg is for me,

Geeez, I forgot about Mum's B&E pies. My sister used to make duplicate 'Mum's B&E pies' for the boys to scoff at the racing or drags. They must have been good as I recall missing out most times.

Is that the name of the Cafe (Corner Cafe) Get to Greymouth on the odd occasion and usully go to Maca's. Sooner have Burger king. But a decent pie beats them both.

Sorry about making angry, but if you ever get the time to try the pies I speak of (and I've tried plenty, inc BP and Nelsons) you will know why they are so much better. However I'm on night shift and all this talking about pies has got me down to BP for a couple of turdie pies...

[Skyryder]

The best pie is the one you can get your teeth into when you are hungry.

[Mencius]

The absolutely best pie I've ever had is from a cafe in Greytown but I don't know if it's the same one because it's not on a corner. It's on the right as you head north and has two small tables outside and a patio bit on the left when you go in. Their chicken ones are so so nice! They've got wholegrain mustard in them and chunks of really nice chook (not that mucasey stuff most pies are made of). They're ka pie :niceone:

[cliffy]

thats the one! :2thumbsup ok so it's not eeeeezzactly on the corner but just about close enough to call it the corner cafe,mmmmmmpies :cool: they also have some great cakes too i should know i live just down the road and sumtimmmmmmes i gets the cravins!! :spudbooge
