Meat pies and sausage rolls
Posted by: hojunara on: May 26, 2009
On the topic of health, it’s time to highlight some of the reasons for the obesity epidemic in Australia. We love to eat shit unhealthy food. Above is the famous ‘Tiger’ meat pie from Harry’s Cafe de Wheels in Sydney’s inner-city suburb of Woolloomooloo. Not content with meat inside the pie, they’ve stacked mushy peas, mashed potato and gravy on top. Now that’s a pie.
Here, we have the sausage roll. It comes in many styles: small, party sizes, looooong supersizes, and this, the gourmet sausage roll. Courtesy of Bourke St Bakery in Surry Hills and Broadway, this is perhaps the best roll I’ve ever eaten.
Some past students of mine, Charlie and Julie mostly agreed with me when we headed to Harry’s. If the rain allows, I dare say we’ll go there on Friday.
You are what you eat!
