Grab a pie


Here in New Zealand we love our pies and you can get so many varieties. Personally mine are either Mussell or Seafood pie - all cafes, supermarkets and eating places sell them. What's your favourite?

Stesk and cheese but i was disappointed with the general quality of pies last time we were home. Pies should be good everywhere with EXCEPTIONAL pies available from devoted pie makers, but we got some very disappointing offerings in places I had always remembered as those exceptionally devoted pie bakers. Maybe their reputations earn them enough money to sell up and retire and the next owners don't have the touch.

Oh I would love a good NZ pie. Just a plain old mince one with loads of tomato sauce. We have tried so many times to make them but they're just not the same

I have a mouth watering experience just now but helas pies are nearly unknown in the Netherlands. Sometimes an English or Irish expat sart a little pie shop but it always dies a early death by lack of clientele.

I rarely eat out or buy take-away meals, but I sometimes make ham and cheese quiche at home. That or minced meat is also likely to be my choice if I choose pie at a café/restaurant. Or apple pie or some kind of berries for dessert :)

I don't think I've ever heard of a mussel or seafood pie. Sounds interesting.

I love a savory pie, but it seems they've fallen out of fashion in my culture. We grew up with beef and chicken pies. I'd rather a seafood pie. I'm a bit of a lazy cook, so doubt I'd ever bake one myself.

Tom must have forgotten, but we in the U.S. have had Chicken Pot Pie, Mince Meat Pie, and Crawfish Pie since the Pilgrims and the Cajuns came here.
I like chicken pot pie, havent had crawfish pie. But I will ask our Orleans restaurant the first Sunday in September. Otherwise the pie I am eating would be my favorite. We just fiished a Cherry Pie last night, had i a la mode with ice cream.

Great reflection shot! I like an occasional chicken pot pie, but my favorite is fruit pie. My mom made the best apple pies, but I also like cherry. Have a wonderful week.

Canada has something called tourtiere- a meat pie.

I'm more likely to eat a Cornish pastie (meat an potato) in the UK. In New Zealand it would probably be a mince and mushroom pie with fabulous flaky pastry.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
