    They are still around, going strong in the supermarkets. Mrs Macs is a decent pie brand, nothing better than a proper pie shop of course. Some belters around the coastal area of Nsw

    Good <ok>
    Decent amount of filling and not too dry. Good value for the price.

    They now sell them warmed up in Sainsbury’s for £3.75

    I agree with your assessment.

    I've never bought a warmed up one.
    I don't tend to buy hot food (as in heated up in the shop) and I'm not a coffee drinker.

    I'm not a big one for pies, but two that I buy every few weeks are Pukka varieties - or very occasionally an M&S luxury one.
    As Elfs has said M&S do great quality food, but you have to pay for it.
    An occasional indulgence.

    I was over in New Zealand as well then, thinking I may not go back etc. Are they a New Zealand or an Aussie pie?

    Either way they were VERY nice.

    Gotta respect a man who knows his pies.

    The Peters pie is lovely but very dry, unlike the Pukka ones who are a bit more juicy and not in need of some gravy.

    Kojak's waistline says he is more of an expert on a pie than me so let him tell his awaiting audience on his view.

    How is it for getting some fish and chips that can bring memories of back home?

    Had a lovely evening.

    Our adorable sausage/pincer cross was taken for her evening walk to pic up Mrs Elfs from pilates.

    On the way back we passed a restaurant for somewhere to eat, conveniently only 3 minutes walk from the entrance of our favela. Mrs Elfs was tired and is used to eating out 4 times a week, it is still 28 degrees at 18.00 over here:emoticon-0103-cool:.

    7 spirits, doubles easily, a healthy dose of breaded chicken, some skewers of meat(one for our beautiful dog).

    All for way under £25<party>

    Quality of life but know my roots from Catford and Lewisham.
