[@dutchharrysm8]

In the 1950's my family lived in the flat above the shop. Dad owned the shop where you are. It was a wee dairy. He created a bit of a stir by offering a Sunday Special consisting of a pint of icecream and a tin of peaches for one shilling. He got the after church crowds from First Church and St Johns.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Shirley, thanks so much for sharing that special piece of history with us! I bet your Dad’s Sunday Special was a real hit 😍🤤 Do you still live in Southland? We always love our visits to that part of the country. And gosh those pies are great! Thanks for watching and commenting on this episode, hope you enjoy the rest of our NZ content 😄 Cheers, Sheena

We've already had to concede invention of the pavlova to the Kiwis. Don't tell me we have to be second best in the pie department as well! That steak and pepper pie looks worth flying to NZ for. My daughter started working recently at a local bakery in the town of Deepwater on the New England Highway, northern NSW. There are always lines of people at this bakery. Lots of truck drivers. I asked my daughter what they sell most. Pies. By a long shot, more pies than anything else. Apparently it's something else we have in common with our Kiwi cousins. We really love pies.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Same David, we can’t get enough of them! We’re a nation of pie lovers! Wonder if your daughter will ever get sick of them being around them all the time! Hope you get to sample these one day- they are outstanding! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena

[@Frank-rx8ch]

Actually the pavlova was invented in France by the well-known cook Julia Child's As for the pies no argument there. Maybe Aussie & Kiwis should have a cook up show as to see who cooks the best food.

[@catherineturner2839]

Yep, that's a proper pie, just like a proper pie from the UK. Us Brits and you Kiwis well, we just know stuff. It gives your belly a hug. Fat Bastards just needs to get some eels

*_@_**_1:27_**_ Pig Dog Training School_* - Not a billboard you see in the U.S. that's for sure. Thanks! *_66M annually_* - Great stat. Before you left NZ how many pies did you eat per year? Just a guess. *_variety_* - I like how FB marks the top using extra dough, seeds and different scores as identification. *_"from go to whoa"_* - Had to look up. Just learned a new phrase! 😀 *_the pie tasting_* - You nailed the descriptions and trying three different pies is right up my alley. I've mentioned that I really dig food crawls which is basically (kind of) what you did. Well done, guys. Awesome day! Really enjoyed this one.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Don’t forget the book binding service too Tosh 😆 We had to stop to get a shot of that! Classic! Oh gosh, we probably didn’t eat that many- many 10 a year if that?! I used to eat loads as a kid- because my Dad loves pies and he would always bring them home from the bakery. Every weekend. And I used to make mince and cheese pies a lot when we lived in Melbourne as you couldn’t really get them as easily as in NZ. On this road trip I think we ate 11 each over two months- Thomas thinks this was a poor effort 😝 Thanks for watching and commenting Tosh, so glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

😂 Bookbinding Service as well! Haha. 10 pies a year is surprising because you love them so much. I figured twice a month for a convenient lunch on the go or back at the office. 👍

[@ChasingaPlate]

All the areas in which I worked were distinctly lacking in good pies! 😆

I'm a Kiwi from Aotearoa, New Zealand. These pies are called lunch. If you are a tradie, like me, they are called morning tea. I eat four a day. Steak and Cheese unless I can find a mutton pie. I would kill for a mutton pie with pepper.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Love those Kiwi pies! Thanks heaps for watching mate. Thomas

[@huggybear2638]

My step father, Polish, used to make his own pies. He made his own pastry. I can honestly say they were the best pies in New Zealand. People came from all over Auckland to buy his pies. He was a qualified chef. But you had to keep away from him when he was grumpy. He drank and I think that is what killed him. My mother dies sometime after so the recipes died with them. I regret not getting involved with the pie making to see how the pies were made but at an age where I wanting to do my own thing I missed the opportunity to carry on the business.

Wannaroo markets have some bloody good pies, Malaysians run it,but they use Flaky Pastry for the tops,really good pies,closest to Kiwis pies I can find.

Don't forget the South Africans. We consume more pies than the Kiwis, and ours are also savory with a range of fillings.

[@ChasingaPlate]

What’s your favourite filling mate? Do they look the same as a kiwi pie? Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

Aren’t they amazing! We can’t get enough. Sounds like you’re very committed to finding the best pies in NZ so we’re glad you agree with us on this one. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@Skiwi51]

This shop is a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk for me...but only once a week..!! Any more than that and I would become the shop's namesake...

[@brilliantbutblue]

No argument from me those pies look pretty darn good!! What a labour of love as you have shown in so many vids from this NZ series. Hand made from scratch and full to the brim with quality fillings. I was drooling as you squeezed the pie and the meat oozed out and the colour of the slow cooked beef, mouthwatering. Sheena l cant decide did you want to jump into the pie warmer as you where so excited or just trying to warm up as it was such a miserable looking day. 🤣. The horse in the intro ❤

[@ChasingaPlate]

😂😂😂 i was so excited to get let into the inner sanctum of FB! Oh man, I love how there full to the brim!!! Mmmm and the meat is so tender. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one BBB! Hope you get to sample one of these one day soon! Cheers, Sheena 😘

[@Alina_Valentina]

@@brilliantbutblue nope

[@Alina_Valentina]

@@brilliantbutblue do you?

[@brilliantbutblue]

Yes Pies are very popular in Australia. But honestly good pies (we have plenty of average Pies in most convenience stores and bakeries) are hard to come by. Being made from scratch like these ones with slow cooked filling these sure are special.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Woooo hooo! Hope it was worth the wait mate! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one! Cheers, Sheena

Oh wow this is so crazy I was literally reminiscing to my mum yesterday about the fat bastard pies I had in NZ. They are delicious!

[@AdrasAdraki]

Sounds like for home cooking you can use puff pastry for the top tho i wonder what i could use for the bottom.

[@ChasingaPlate]

I often just use a rough puff pastry for both top and bottom and it works a treat! Thanks for watching this one mate, hope you enjoyed it 😍 Cheers, Sheena

Are pasties a thing in NZ? Could be essentially the same filling and pastry but easier to eat on the street?

What a great insight into kiwi pies, thoroughly enjoyed this well made production and have subscribed instantly. Anthony Dow hooked me up to you chaps. Very pleased now to be following in earnest. Thanks Sheena and Thomas for all your hard work and great production. By God that beef pie looked scrumptious 😃

@@ChasingaPlate Im an Aussie and I dream of New Zealand Pies. A lot of the great pie shops in my city, have said they are inspired by New Zealand pies culture. I spoke to a friend today, that is opening a pie shop and using local ingredients from the Yarra Valley in Melbourne. His wife..... KIWI!!

[@ChasingaPlate]

😆😆😆 that’s awesome that he’s opening up a place in the Yarra Valley! We lived in Melbourne for 5 years and can’t say I had an epic pie during that time. Every time we ventured back over the ditch we’d stuff ourselves silly before returning to Oz 😝 you’ll have to get over here for a fix when that travel bubble opens up 😍

As a Brit who cooks/eats pies at least once a week THEY all look lush.-to die for, 5 star...BUT! the cost??? Us Brits would not pay that bro. We Can get 3 X great pies for that cash. Yep not 5 star but a pie is a pie when you need a pie right? LOL great content mate and what a great name for a Pie shop....Like Rowan below. I am from N.E. England....Me and my mates used to have PIE OFFS...hahahaha cook your own and then a blind tasting

[@ChasingaPlate]

PIE OFFS!!! Love it! 😍 Food in general is just pricey in NZ- it’s about the same price for a bakery pie or even a petrol station pie 😝 These ones are quality- sooo tasty and huge chunks of meat. I need to get back into pie making too- nothing like a homemade pie 🤤 thanks for watching Les, so glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
