I ATE a CROCODILE Pie and other TASTY TREATS at Australia's answer to GREGGS with another EXPAT!

The MacMaster is Down Under in Perth Western Australia at Miami Bakehouse, Australia's answer to Greggs! Along with British Expat James they try a Crocodile Pie, Steak Bake and the famous Sausage Roll. How does it rate against Greggs for price and taste and more to the point Crocodile in a Pie!!!!

I was a very highly paid chef in Australia for quite a few years some time ago . We had crocodile on the menu and every time someone ordered it they would say , 'And make it snappy ' . I think the girl was being kind saying no one else had ever said it . What I wanted to mention was that the crocodile was not Australian . The crocodile we served was ' farmed ' in Florida . In Australia their crocodiles are allowed to eat you but you are not allowed to eat them .

True but when sausage rolls are really good they are great to eat without sauce plus brits love brown sauce which prob will not be something they had at the store.

One commenter made a statement "Aboriginal legend says that crocodiles know if you have eaten their friends". So when I think about it, I wonder if I'm tasting on of my friends that have disappeared in croc country, it got me thinking since it got a funny taste.

[@bigwangmark]

It's a funny thing in I have lived in perth for about 27 years and sad to say I think you have seen more of the area in you time here than I have. It's great watching your videos because it's ignited my old flame for traveling around going places just for the fun of it again.

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

Food is generally cheaper for fruit and veg in the UK because alot of it is imported. In Australia the bulk is grown here because you can yield everything from the tropics to temperate climatic zones. It's more seasonal so in the summer months it's alot cheaper. And the quality is far superior in Australia because importation makes produce less fresh. And because Australia is do big alot if food is grown in isolated regoins that are purer. Same with meat as well. And Greggs is mass produced rubbish, there is much better places in the UK than them. And small bakeries especially in country towns in Australia have handmade produce and not made in bulk in a factory like Greggs.

The demount-able on the side of the Forrest Hwy was just a temporary shop while they waited for the service station to be built. The original Miami Bakehouse was in the beachside suburb of Miami just south of Mandurah.

Miami Bakehouse has FIVE shops - not really an answer to Gregg’s. 🤣🤣🤣 We’re actually traveling down to Margaret River today and I’ll probably have a pie en route. Might even try MB (been on a previous visit and it was just OK so hoping for some improvement). Normally go to Crooked Carrot for one of their speciality pies. Your pies looked excellent (I’ve been banging on about pies since you announced you were heading to WA - Pinjarra Bakery being better than MB by some way). Best sausage roll in Australia (official champions) is from Halls Head in Mandurah. Btw - Wild Bean cafes do a cracking Pepper Steak pie for $5 (it’s a little smaller but a great snack on the way). Mandurah is a lovely harbour town, but Dolphin Quay is the lesser end. It has one of the most amazingly beautiful War Memorials on the planet. I think your ‘guide’ might be only worth a 4/10 - although he might have been bothered by your hyper corny ‘British stereotyping Australia’ embarrassing jokes. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the video.
