With not so Cryptic clues as to where you need to go.

Or perhaps this could turn into a Nationwide Tagorama - or should that be Open wide tagorama?

I guess if you at a gas station then you have no option but to scoff it out of the bag.

Oh no, you can eat half of it like that, then switch to the more advanced "searing hot mince and still-boiling cheese, (having extruding from soggy pastry and escaped the paper containment device) drops with uncanny precision down the front of the open jacket, requiring one to run screaming around in ever-widening circles divesting oneself of every stitch of clothing until one trips over a rail and pitches headlong into a handy stream" gourmand 102 method.

The serious epicurean adventurer wishing to specialise in the humble tiddy oggie, however, will have employed this method numerous times, before finally settling on the tried and proven expediency of maintaining in their possession at all times a small but quality collection of china crockery, silver cutlery and numerous assorted pie related condiments.

*And a handsome draught of... that certain beverage.*

I bought a lovely looking pie from a little place in Ohope last summer, jammed it in the window of the fun bus to cool down whilst driving along and lost it on a left hander, the pie that is not the fun bus.

I can't tell you what it tasted like because it splattered deliciously all over the road, I really miss that pie, I just know it was the best pie ever in the world but it's gone now, gone gone. RIP the best pie that I ever almost had

P.S. Did you know it's possible to salivate and cry at the same time

Thanks Pussy, I knew I was amongst pie eating friends in this thread, it's the first time I've been able to talk about it without flashbacks, I tried to get it back John, really I did, I just smashed my hand up the window, so very sad.

im going to have to say georgie Pie sadly thats long gone

[spacemonkey]

I know its the "in thing" to yearn for the Georgie pie of old, but honestly they were pretty crap, mass produced, soggy, indifferent tasting things that the local Asian bakery could out do.
I don't miss them at all.

Ooh yes, I went there once, Second vote from me.

Browsing the Georgie Pie thread reminded me not to ever look to McDonalds as a source of a decent pie.

But it did remind me of this thread.

So what is your favourite pie? Mine is Jimmys, made in Roxburgh and available from dairies all over the lower South Island. I also like the fact a historical town most people have never heard of has a vibrant business which has been going strong for over ten years.

No web page. No Wiki. Just damned good pies. What more does a biker need!
