I remember coming to Adelaide back in March 1999 for the first time. Managed to ride the old tram from the city to Glenelg and sampled the famous Pie from the cart which was by the GPO on cnr Franklin & King William St. Funny how it works out I live here now. Best pie floater I know is at the Enjoy 24hr bakery on The Parade.

By design. The fact the council WANTED them out should tell you all u need to know. One day they will make a documentary called Australia and itll showcase how to turn one of if not the best country in the world to a state controlled dystopian reality.

Looks like a spin on the East End Pie & Mash with liquor, which I grew up on. These look great. If only people stopped eating garbage like maccas, kfc, and hungry jacks, the carts might have survived.

As the person who ran the last pie cart. Corrections: Mushy Pea Soup Traditional Toppings: Tomato Sauce (Popular), Vinegar (Splashes and makes the pea soup a little lighter and sweeter), Worcestershire Sauce (Splashes) and Thick Mint Sauce (Splashes) James was the person who gave up the Pie Cart and it took me 13 months to get it back to its spot when he handed the pie cart back to the owner. He was correct it wasn't making money. The hotel is still under construction, so there is no pie cart for a while. Casino Saga isn't completely correct. This is an old youtube video being reuploaded.

Yep, when I moved to Adelaide from Sydney in 1975, Adelaide had little to offer after 6:00pm, and the pie cart was a boon to ramblers high & low - mostly because a pie floater is delicious, hearty & inexpensive. And now the plethora of businesses selling everything under the sun all day everyday has mos def throttled the cart’s trade. Progress, so I’m led to believe…

I grew up in Bonney st Norwood and remember the Very first pie cart on the Parade (Like a Gypsey wagon) and then they replaced it with a aluminium caravan. Most Friday nights my old man would give me a billy and a Quid and I would ride up to the Pie cart and get a billy full of peas and 4 pies for tea. Those were the days.

Using balfours pies, cheap canned peas and too much vinegar ruined them! If you remade them using fresh gourmet pies and a fresh tasty pea soup you could still sell them in cafes and restaurants? I met Billy Connolly at the pie cart one night, he seemed to like them?

Support your local pie floater. I recommend o connell bakery in North Adelaide. Costs around 10 dollars. Cafe de villes is around 15 dollars which is a bit steep for my blood. Interested to hear any recipes or ideas for making or procuring your own soup

I was hoping someone running a cafe would have made a gourmet version by now using fresh pies and gourmet pea soup? Vilis are probably better than balfours now because the pies are better?

500 grams to a kilo of dried green split peas. (Depends how much soup you want) Rinse with water and throw into a large pot. Bacon bones or better yet a whole ham hock. Fill pot with water and boil until meat comes off the bones. Remove bones and break up the meat. (Diced bacon is an ok substitute if bones or hocks not available) Add 1-2 finely diced onions Add 1-2 grated carrots As much or as little garlic powder as you like. Tablespoon of chicken stock and a heap of grated pepper. Boil it for at least a couple of hours stirring regularly. It may need more water added as you go. Keep boiling and stirring until the peas breakdown and you’re left with a nice creamy soup. (Not watery with bits and lumps of pea in it) Can take 2-3 hours to achieve the right consistency. It’s much nicer than the bland, chunky pea mess they used to serve at the pie cart. Season to taste, serve in a large bowl and then slap a villies potato pie upside down in the middle. Sauce if required. Been making it this way for over 30 yrs, it’s a family favourite. My kids call it “Pigs bum soup” 😂 Enjoy 😊

Used to look forward to going a pie and sometimes a floater, after coming back from Regency College by bus late at night. At that time, 1982 - 1983, it was situated by the GPO, Victoria Square. And like everything else that was good like that, it was forced to close, because greed and intolerance has no limits.
