What I ate today - the food thread

Interestingly is “pie” an aussie thing? Europe trip for 6weeks last year I did not see pie on a menu anyway once. (Didn’t actively seek out but an idle observation after 2-3 weeks.)

A very Anglo thing I believe, but might have started from the UK.

Americans have pies, though usually it's the larger pies that you normally share. Of course, amongst other things, Americans have the pumpkin pie.

Not really any pies in Europe, and it's a borrowed word in their languages. The French have pâté en croûte which looks like a pie, but is served sliced and cold. Sometimes that dish name is also used to refer to a pie.

After a few weeks of what seemed to be the only snack/brunch offering of cheese and ham roll or croissant, a pepper steak pie would have been welcome.

This is one of the best pasta I have ever had in Australia.

Looks nice. Got some details, or is it a secret?

It is TwoSis in Pyrmont, and it is the prawn and scallop pasta. It is Japanese and the matcha store next to it also offer some really good coffee and matcha too.

When too lazy to cook on a warm Sunday evening, tried the new local Souvlaki shop Mornington Peninsula
The lamb was better than the chicken - huge serves of meat, hard to keep in the pita bread

Souva $18
Chips were crisp - will go again

Some more hospital food Not too bad. I love the soups and salads. Just don’t feel much like of the hot dishes.
Beef casserole was OK.


Won’t be ordering the fish and chips again.


Beef and vermicelli salad was pretty good.


Sweet and sour pork was tasty.


The Greek salad is very nice.


A chicken minestrone was excellent.


The roast lamb and veggies would have been much better if they put some mint sauce in it. The menu said it had mint sauce.


The sausage and veggies was a little plain.
