Meat Pie (Australia)


A meat pie is made with puff pastry stuffed with sauce and minced meat. Of course, there are many variations, so the filling can also be made with onions, chicken and asparagus, mushrooms, cheese, crocodile, vegetables, or seafood. There are also meat pie varieties such as party pies (small pies served to party guests) and pie floaters (green pea soup with a pie floating on top). The concept of pie dates back to the Neolithic period, when barley, semolina, and grains were ground into dough, filled with honey, and baked over hot coals. The Greeks later developed the meat-stuffed pie. It is believed that the meat pie was brought to Australia during the colonial period, as it was quite popular in Europe at the time and provided good nutritional value for the settlers with basic and largely available ingredients. Today, meat pies are typically topped with a ketchup-like tomato sauce, sparking a heated debate over whether to pour the tomato sauce over the pie all at once or sparingly, and whether to serve the sauce cold or at room temperature.
