New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

[Matt_01]

I’ve literally had 100’s of pie floaters over the years and that is a very poor imitation

Pie floaters have gone up market, maybe. On my first stint of living is SA I recall these gastronomic delights being tinned peas (complete with tinned water) stirred or mashed forming some type of not so good and lumpy soup, the pie was plopped on up side down and topped off with tomato sauce. That is just my hazy memory from 35 years back.

Am flying QR Adl-Mel-Doh in 11 days time. As a Qf Plat, I assume I can duck into the Business lounge to have a look before I clear Immigration and International security?

Yes, a good pie floate should literally by floating in the soup. The best ones aren’t watery and have a very generous amount of thickened pea soup and then a LOT of tomato sauce applied.
The one in that lounge photo appears just to be a pie topped with mushy peas, maybe an “upmarket” version.
The various pie carts in Adelaide were a staple food growing up especially at the Parade after Norwood home games and at the Railway station after a night on the turps

Provided it’s open then yes.

Quite the Adelaide knees-up it seems

Unfortunately, that would not be up to scratch as an authentic Adelaide pie floater.
