Pratchett’s pies have Morpork.

i had to look that up – was going to ask ‘more pork than wot’ but glad i didn’t show my ignorance. always meant to delve into this but have never seemed to get around to it. oh, and ‘boom boom’ to you!

shall go wipe myself down with some terry towelling, then, shall i?

I have known about these people http://www.pacdon.com.au/ fora while. Unfortunately invictoria so ou will have to enquire with them as to whether they have stockings in ACT. Seems like they could solve all of your culinary cravings in one hit. With you on the pork pie though. Never had a good one here…lovely bits of jelly, pastry that’s not tasteless. If you do find a good local purveyor, then let me know.

I knew someone at work who had an English boyfriend and when he presented her with English pork pies for tea, she went to put them in the oven to heat up. An attempt at romance that almost went horrily wrong!

This is all good to know.

But wot about haggis?

bump!

the butcher at dickson stocks a range of scottish products, including haggis and black pudding. they also do ‘scottish pies’, which a lamb concoction eaten either hot or cold (had mine t’other day cold – mmm). their black puddings are also excellent, though have yet to try the haggis (astress isn’t so keen, so need to find a haggis buddy with whom to share this delicacy)

but i revisited this thread to see if anyone had ideas about pork pies, ’cause for the life of me i can only find pratchett’s pork pies [notwithstanding that these are entirely passable as pork pies] – including in the deli outside coles in woden, while coles has the same product much cheaper – and despair that i may never again enjoy variety in a pork pie in our capital again…

anyone know of any anywhere??

Ditto.

You can buy the complete collection (3 DVD’s) on Ebay for about 40 quid.

You also get for free enough toilet roll tubes to build a glider, and a half-naked Filipino lady.

Ok, that was a lie – it’s only on 2 DVD’s….

no, but i did have the best motive for the murder, the one at morrstones manor – broooooding resentment!

ahh, why don’t they play the classics all the time on our abc?? we want abc4 – classics. bugger it, make that abc3, damn the kids! let them eat black pudding…

No, DE. It was hard enough for my forebears to cross the Alps…by elephant.

Hey, astrojax, sounds cool – I’ll wait on for info.

So, on a serious note – has anyone been across the Andes….by frog?

After seeing this post I thought I’d actually try and find somewhere that sells Black Pudding.

the Belconnen Delicatessen (shop 26 Belconnen markets – the deli nearest the pet barn) sells three types of Black Pudding; a German/Austrian style, a Portuguese style and an Australian style.

Deli Cravings (the other one at Belco markets near the big wire fish) only sell one type.

They all looked like something I didn’t want to touch.
