    I'm from NZ so I eat pies very often, but for any Americans who can't come this far, the Polynesian Cultural Center in Haiwaii has a Maori food stand that features a 'savoury' pie. They don't have the massive range of flavours you get at a NZ bakery, but the flight to Hawaii is a lot shorter! :D Some people complain that pies aren't 'proper' Maori food, and while that's true in that they're not 'traditional', _many_ Maori tradesmen live on pies for lunch (or fish and chips).

    I live in NZ. Pies have been a staple in my diet for my whole life. My earliest memory of eating was mince and cheese pies. I can;t get enough of them, however its not the healthiest food, so eat in moderation. P.S. Mince/steak and cheese is the best by at least double. Chicken pies are just not the same.

    It's so bizarre seeing you at waipu caves, it's somewhere I go all the time, and seeing it on youtube is weird. Not bad weird, just weird.

    I live in the Bay of Islands and am lucky enough to have kiwi nesting in my yard just had a survey done and have five nests three have eggs. I lie in bed at night and listen to them 5 metres from my window.
