So glad you enjoyed them it was my pleasure to send them.
This was awesome... you're a legend 👍
Well done. I was starting to worry about them being force-fed an unending stream of sweeties.
Well done mate, good choice of pies and sausage rolls👍👍
It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll 🙂
that was a really cool parcel to send :) awesome they had someone over there that can post these out :) your a legend
Chuck one of those sausages inside a slice of white bread, with some grilled onions and ketchup (but you gotta call it tomato sauce), and fold it half like a triangle for the true Bunnings sausage sizzle experience!
Re the sausage rolls and meat pies being hot when you first bite into it, it's regulation that no matter how many you've eaten in your life, you'll always underestimate how hot that first bite will be!
Definitely works well after a big night out. Pick up a sausage roll and meat pie from the servo, a few squeezy things of tomato sauce on the walk home and it's happy days!
Phezz, you don't need too much salt in the pie as once you chuck a shitload of tomato sauce on it (it's the way to do it) you'll get all the salt you need.
Roof Burners - so bloody hot - a burned roof of your mouth makes you an Aussie :)
yummmmm sausage inside a slice of white bread and tomato sauce....yum
And eat it outside a hardware store 😂
@@matthewbrown6163 The pies with runny gravy with a shitton of sauce in one hand and a beer in the other hand, on the hill at your favourite footy ground sundy arvo. Gravy burning the roof of your mouth and running down your arm. Heaven on a stick.
@@misternobody1825 Nothing like a steaming hot pie in winter with 2 sauces. My post work - pre uni lectures meals. I worked full time so needed to scoff a meal down between work & uni. 5 nights a week & it soon adds up so I tried all different pies = with 2 sauces LOL. Working at the SCG I always looked forward to their pies.

Haha think your work is done here Muzza - haha... nice job !
Almost fell of the lounge when he said this about the movie being American
Well said Muzza67 . you have to forgive Phezz i think he's a bit slow
20 Century Fox owned by an Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@JasonD_ But its such an American comment though. They genuinely think everything originates in the US.
Shout out to JJ the owner of Aussie meat pies and sausages. He is definitely an Aussie.
Even though he can't make a meat pie to save his life. But hey points for trying.
@@dilligaff1979 kind of like you ? Ive Heard the only food you can mąke is a salad, because you can’t burn it??
The maker of those items is legit. He’s an Aussie living in the States. I’ve seen him a few times in other videos. He also has individual cakes and slices that we love here, and they’re all made properly, from scratch including the sausages.
LOL! Carked must be an Aussie term. In Australia, if you’ve carked it, you’re dead. 😂🇦🇺
I guess carked is a derivative of carcass made into a verb. To "carc it" is to die and become a carcass.
LOL. Carked is another Aussie slang word. Usually stated as, "Its Carked It". Meaning it's buggered, stuffed, rooted, Ef'd, or quite simply it's dead or has died.
Meant to be eaten scorching hot.... if you can't feel loose skin on the roof of your mouth afterwards, they're too cold. 😜
Totally agree. If the roof of your mouth doesn't blister, was it even hot enough?
True 💯
Nah, I disagree. I'm in Melbourne and used to love the pies at the footy as they were the perfect temperature for shoving straight down your neck with no scorching
@@piglos Hand over your citizenship... Weirdo. 😏
and then spending hours trying to remove the skin flap with your tongue because your fingers can't grab it
To be honest, those pies looked a little dry and lacking gravy. Most pies you get in Australia part of the eating experience is eating them while trying not to drop the insides everywhere as it trys to run out.
"Too little salt" - got to remember Aussie food doesn't tend to over salt/sugar their food, its intended that the eater can add a bit of salt to taste as they eat.
Maybe it helps with delivery of the food, it went from LA to Texas.
I thought the same thing, pies ooze with gravy. 🤤
I think cause they were cold. They should've chucked it in the oven for a bit
My thoughts is those pies were either dry or cold. The gravy is part of the experience. I think you guys need to try pies again to get the authentic Aussie experience
Agreed
It’s a sausage roll ! Meat pies and sausage rolls are both quintessentially Australian and equally as popular! You can buy meat pies or sausage rolls everywhere. It’s minced sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry. Also.. about CROCODILE DUNDEE 😝 Peter Faiman the Director is Australian! John Cornell the Producer.. Australian 🤣 🤣
And I think Strop wrote most of the script
Ha ha hey Doc well said mate, you brought the reality back lol.
"yeah I think it was an American director" ....What!
@John H Ha ha Johno well said mate!
And ofc INXS invested in it as a tax right off...it backfired as made so much money 💰😂
What you said, but they should have also included a Chiko roll.
The pie is too cold if it taste's greasy, when it is hot the beef fat is in amulsion and it just adds to the flavour
Yeah the filling looked a bit dry too
Every Aussie sitting there saying you need to put that sausage in bread with onions & sauce 😂
But one that may not be mentioned is a classic tradies smoko snack. Sausage roll in a buttered roll with sauce. Working in sandwich bars I’ve made a few of these in my time & even made one with a pie in a roll also 😂
You need to be more specific, or they'll use raw onions. Fry your sliced brown onions until they're nice and sweaty and browned on the edges. Take your slice of white bread, fold it in half around a freshly cooked sausage, then put your onions on top of the sausage. Perfect. Oh yeah, don't forget a good squeeze of tomato or barbecue sauce.
One of the biggest highlights of traveling around Australia, is trying all the family owned / one off bakeries. There are bakery chains but i love going into the non franchise bakeries and seeing fresh daily made creations over going to a fast food joint like KFC or McDonalds. My go to bakery combo if i can get it.....hmmmm... a pepper steak pie, a chocolate eclair and a iced coffee. I also love a good chilli and cheese kransky 😁👍
Glad you enjoyed Australia and yes, small bakeries especially country ones can be incredibly good.
Yes, agreed, pepper steak pie, eclair or vanilla slice and for me pepsi max.
If you haven't got blisters on the roof of your mouth.. You are doing it wrong! Top reaction boys🤘😆🇦🇺
JJ is the real deal . He makes tops Aussie pies , sausage rolls and pastries
The sausage rolls being soft is working as intended. Glad you enjoyed :)
The pies are to well made the filling didn't fall out 🤣😆 glad you enjoyed. Made me a proud Aussie today 👏👏👏
If you decide to order more from Aussie pies & sausages, try the caramel slice. It’s Devine. The sausage/snag is best put in a slice of white bread with ketchup/tomato sauce & fried onions.
The slang for meat pie and tomato sauce in Australia is 'a dog's eye and dead horse, you can pretty much walk into any bakery here and say it and they'll know exactly what you want, lol 🇦🇺🐨
This was such a great video to watch, thank you so much for the upload.
Phezz get that man all 3 copies of the Crocodile Dundee movies please. 😂
I’m pretty sure croc Dundee was a very Aussie production with alot of Aussies working on it
_Crocodile Dundee_ was produced by John Cornell (an Australian) for Rimfire Films (an Australian production company), directed by Peter Faiman (an Australian), written by John Cornell, Paul Hogan, and Ken Shadie (three Australians), and starred Paul Hogan (an Australian) in the title role. Cinematography by Russell Boyd (an Australian), music by Pete Best (an Australian).
But if these guys want to call it a Hollywood film, that's fine.
It’s a very American view of Aussie culture. Though it is very tongue in cheek so it’s also rather authentic lol
@@someonerandom8552 I think it was written with an American audience in mind.
Partially funded by INXS, an Australian rock band.
As an Australian it is funny seeing grown men eating a plain sausage roll for the first time. I have eaten literally thousands of these over the years. Perfect food on the run served in a paper bag. Paired with a Coke or a chocolate milk
Just had a meat pie from my local bakery while watching.
Sausages can be done a bunch of ways, in buttered bread, with or without caramelised onion, as a basic meat for a meal served on a plate with mash, veg and gravey, made into curried sausages or alongside bacon, eggs and baked beans for a 'big breakfast' among other ways.
We generally buy pork sausages in our house as they are probably the most universally usable, but you can get chicken, beef, lamb, kangaroo, veggie and not to mention all the different flavours ones. One of my favourites is beef, mushroom and worcestershire sauce flavour
I used to work at Mrs Macs in Perth WA, I packed pies and sausage rolls all day long. Hidden secret, Mrs Macs meat pies use real meat, not meat bi-product as some suggest. Sausage Rolls are about 30% minced meat, 50% breadcrumbs to boost the batch size and flavouring including caramel. My favourite was the Beef, Cheese and Bacon pie or the Chicken and Vege pie. They also had a limited release Breakfast pie which was just Bacon, Eggs and a special gravy/sauce, I ate far too many off these.
Yep, everytime stopping at a servo for smoko I'd get the beef, cheese and bacon pie. Soo good and they seem like the only company that you can buy a pie with a shitload of cheese that will blister your skin when it runs off. Mrs Mac's have the best servo pies, Herbert Adams a close second.
I just bought 2 Mrs Macs pies and 2 Mrs Macs sausage rolls at Spudshed for $5 😂
Guys the rolls are called Sausage rolls, not Kalacci wtf ?! and called sausage rolls all over Australia. The Aussie who runs the LA bakery was reviewed several times by other reviewers. 🤗👍
The sausages you ate, are typical of Bunnings sausage sizzles we eat on a slice of bread with tomato sauce. 😜
AND BBQ'D ONIONS
Wtf is Kalacci lmao 🤦♀️
Fun fact - A nickname for the humble sausage roll or meat pie here in Aus is the “rat coffin”.
These are about the most common take away food available in Australia. Of course there are burgers, pizza and a host of other fast food but these can be found everywhere. They pair well with the good old “snot block” but that’s for another day.
In 50 years of living in Australia and travelling everywhere, I have never heard the term “rat coffin”
@@susanferguson976 Me either, and I am over 70.Been all over Oz (and the world).
Never heard those names and I've been here awhile.
Snags, put in bread with fried onions and ketchup + mustard. And the ones in pastry are called Sausage Rolls. Even better with ketchup or as we call it tomatoe sauce.
Yummmmmm 🤣🤣
Pies are our footy food much like your hotdogs, glad you ate them the traditional way "with your hands"😆😆😆
Eat guys EAT. They have to be hot🤣
Ok its to hot lol.
It's always nice to see others enjoy what you yourself enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it 😆
You can get sausage rolls in every bakery,servo and supermarket
It blows my mind how you reacted to just trying a simple sausage. 😂
haha, me too, can't believe it.
Don't let it get cold! Gotta love a meat pie and sauce, it used to cost 50c at school in the 70's. We eat the sausages wrapped in a slice of bread. Oh and it's Tomato Sauce not Ketchup, different the sauce is more runny than Ketchup
Sauce on all of them, why is there no sauce
can get a 4-pack from Woolies for $5 so thats what $1.25 each, not too bad, doesn't seem like it's caught up with inflation
I used to love eating COLD meat pies washed down with a bottle of Passiona-not sure how to spell it- when I was a teenager.
@@barnowl5774 yeah Passiona, tho there's also Pasito. cold meat pies tho ... that's just so wrong
@@barnowl5774 I'm assuming they were heated pies that had cooled, lol.
Besides yelling, "Eat them, they are getting cold.", I was also saying, "That's what she said." to a lot of the sausage references in this video. Cheers.
Btw …
Crocodile Dundee was an Australian film , produced directed and actors all Aussies , except for one American actress and some location shooting in NYC.
It is Australia most successful film .
It
Have to say as an expat I love and miss all 3. I'm headed home for the first time in 4.5 years come October. I'll be going to Bunnings on the weekend to get me 2 sausages from the local sizzle fundraiser and the local bakery for a pie and sausage roll. So looking forward to it 😊
So happy you guys got to try some Aussie Sausage rolls and pies😊. JJ who owns the company, is an Aussie.
The Sausages can be used for our suasage sizzles with the suasage on bread with sauce and caramelised onions (like the Bunnings ones you've seen).
The company also does lamingtons and caramel slices which are a staple at every bakery and supermarket in Australia.
You can get sausage rolls and all flavours of meat pies everywhere in Australia, even at Servos (petrol stations). I’m off to get a pie right now!
In the same way as hot dogs are staples everywhere in america it seems
In Australia the way you eat and add sauce to a pie is a very induvial thing as well . Some use the sauce bottle to inject into the pie , some add and spread it like butter to the top , others add it will eating it while its on its side. Then there are the people that rip the top off and and eat the top like corn chips dipping it in the base , there are so many combination's to list but the taste and experience is slightly different
....and don't forget 'Pie Floaters', where a pie is placed into a bowl of soup.
😂My Aussie husband takes the lid off, mixes sauce into the filling, eats the bottom half, then the lid 🤣 (But only with inferior quality pies, like from the servo. *Good* pies just get eaten like a burger)
Haven't watched it yet but now I want a pie so will stop at the servo on the way to work!!
There is nothing like a good Aussie Pie 🥧 or Sausage Roll with a beer at the footy. 😋😋
Gotta love an Aussie pie and sausage roll combo!! Sad that they don't have them (unless Aussie expats open a store) over in the US.
Tomato or BBQ sauce elevates them to God tier! I don't like sausages- but slap them on buttered white bread with some grilled onion and sauce and you have a Bunnings snag 😆
You need to eat ALL 3 of those with tomato sauce! And the sausage is amazing with a slice of bread folded diagonally around it and tomato sauce! Even as an Aussie I prefer straight beef pies over Steak and onion. Neither is right or wrong, just a matter of preference
Guys, you're underutilising the tomato sauce; it actually imPROVES the sausage rolls. Ditto the sausage. And, Fezz, you should try the hot licorice dessert pie with a blob of King Island thickened cream on top. Mmmm, absolutely to die for!!😉😄
What is that hot licorice pie? Sounds good.
nice! great job getting them sent along, glad you guys loved our food. the aussie pie guy is doing us proud over there as well :)
You have a pie and a sausage roll there my friends. Both very readily available frozen at the supermarket and hot and fresh at bakeries, cafes and servos throughout the great southern land. Dinky di Aussie fare right there.
currently in texas atm on holiday watching this video has given me a huge craving for meat pies and sausage rolls if you ever get the chance try pepper steak pie or curry or chilli n cheese these would be some of my goto choices for pies
Snags, sausage rolls and meat pies are as much of a staple food in Australia as bread and milk. So glad you enjoyed them! And hats off to the viewer that organised the fresh product for you!
You can put the plain sausages in buttered white bread with tomato sauce and maybe some cooked onion. This is the traditional ‘Democracy Sausage’ that is available at most Australian Elections. Our Federal election is on Saturday, May 21st, so many democracy sausages will be consumed. They are sold as fundraisers for schools and other organisations.
Australian here and I am genuinely shocked that there is no sausage rolls over in America 😂😂 I knew about meat pies BUT sausage rolls!
Aussie here.
The sausage wrapped in pastry is called a Sausage Roll. It is just sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry. Also Sauce is a requirement... with sauce is the traditional way not the other way around. I'm glad you liked our national dishes. I also agree with one of the other posts that the pies are a little gravy-less and part of the battle is to not drip it everywhere.
I'm so glad you enjoyed out traditional food, the sausage in pastry is called a sausage roll
I love my Aussie meat pies, but spent a long time on a plane to LA and had the best meat pies ever. The lady who owns the place was born in my town and trained in Sydney. #bronzedaussie was amazing
It's heartwarming to see a foreigner say that sausage rolls are 'phenomenal'. Kudos to the maker in the States.
Fellas, When you put ketchup or as we say "Tomato Sauce" you put it on the top of the pie.
So you know. Crocodile Dundee was an Australian conception, the screenplay was written by Australians. The director of the film is Australian, a Melburnian in fact. Much of the film was shot in Australia. To my knowledge, it is the highest grossing independent film of all time... in the world.
A genuine Aussie sausage roll is made with pork mince and beef mince mixed together wrapped it a flaky pastry. You can eat it with tomato sauce or barbecue sauce.
At my high school located in a gully of a mountain, the school canteen sourced pies and sausage rolls from the local bakery. It was the best at break time, super cold being in a gully, a hot sausage roll and sauce was the best, golden pastry and piping hot!! Definitely the best part of high school besides the ladies haha 😄
Hahaha! I have to laugh at the napkins (serviette in Australia). My wife is American, and she can not sit down to eat unless she has a handful of 'napkins'. LOL. I suppose there are some Aussies that use them, mostly in restaurants, but as a rule, growing up, we just washed our hands after we ate. Also, using a knife AND FORK to eat makes it less likely to need one.
I grew up in the 60s and pies and sausage rolls were school food from the canteen and were our version of fast food, alongside fish and chips. It's not classy food, those these days specialist pie shops make some pretty spectacular gourmet versions. One such local pie shop is called "The Pie Mechanic".
:) There is a fella here on youtube ,,, Ladbaby,,, He and his mrs have written christmas songs around the sausage roll and made it to number one for the last 3 years on the music charts over there, there funny and he is sausage roll obsessed :) glad you guys enjoyed :) i am now wanting a pie ;(
Every one loves their different flavours of meat pie. For me a cottage pie (potato on top instead of pastry crust) and pie with mushy peas!! I agree with @Paul Kristoff too, you will always underestimate the heat of that first bite.. and thats the Aussie way lol
I fondly remember the old school days, going to the tuckshop for a sausage roll and tomato sauce. Nothing better.
We do eat sausages for breakfast, lunch and dinner, LOL!! You get them with white bread and it’s called a sausage sizzle, cooked on a barbecue, with tomato sauce (or barbecue), sometimes with onions. Sausage rolls are the best. I craved these sooooo badly when I went overseas. They are amazing!! In Australia, they probably taste better in Australia and in just about every small town, they have “Australia’s best pie” painted on the bakery window, sign or building. They are best straight from the bakery, burn your mouth out, spilling everywhere. They are always great, but some are just knock your socks off great. We make pies with Minced Beef, brown onion gravy, Vegemite (trust me on this), a bit of salt and pepper, short crust pastry on the bottom and puff pastry on the top. Oh, and we call it “Tomato sauce” not “ketchup”
The meat in the sausage is ground, where as the meat in the sausage roll is more a forced meat(fine ground). With meat pies the meat is ground or minced beef, as well as, chunky beef.
Sausage rolls are made with sausage mince - so really finely ground beef, pork, chicken - whatever you choose... with a few added spices - so it's meant to look/feel soft...you cooked it perfectly .... just needed sauce !! The one with puff pastry isn't a sausage roll... there are multiple names for those.... (Pigs in a blanket... etc) BTW Mrs Mac's pies/sausage rolls and pasties are the bomb.... especially the microwave ones when you're pushed for time or just too hungry to wait !!
Onya Carked! A good offering for the lads.
Boys, you really needed tomato sauce on the sausage roll. It takes the flavour experience to a new level of sublime.
The meat pies looked a bit dry. Was it in the oven long enough? It needs to blistering hot to activate the gravy. Pour the tomato sauce over the top crust for the best experience. "Savoury" is definitely the best description. You don't want it too salty or it overpowers the sweetness of the tomato sauce.
I can not imagine living my whole life without pies, sausage rolls or good quality sausages. Glad you have now discovered them, enjoy. Do you know what carked means? it means you up and died!
Meat pies and sausage rolls are traditional sports food just like your hotdogs and nachos. Just grab yourself a beer or soft drink (Soda) and a pie or sausage roll at the game and you are set.
i laughed my head off with you two eating the sausage roll, they are SO easy to make! use to eat them as a kid, sausage roll in a buttered bread roll with tomato sauce!, make them regularly! Snags… put them in a piece of bread with onion and tomato sauce… steak and mushroom pies! wow!… the best! happy to send you the recipe if you want…
Yum, love a sausage roll or meat pie with a good squeeze of tomato sauce. The snag is so good on a slice of bread with tomato sauce. So glad you guys enjoyed those pies. Great reaction💖
Snags and pies should be good enough to eat without sauce. Doesn't mean you have to. But sausage rolls are always better with sauce.
Sausage rolls are the best, you can get normal beef, beef with cheese and bacon, lamb or beef and pepper. The meat pies depending where you go you can get normal beef, chunky beef and gravy, with cheese, with Tom sauce actually in it, lamb, chicken and gravy, chicken and veg. We have a store called Jesters which wells all pies, not sure if still going but.
I’m an Aussie and I’m so glad you liked the food. Only thing I have to add is that I’ve never cut a pie in half so neatly. Usually the insides ooze out!
I’m glad you got to enjoy some Aussie Pies, Sausage Rolls and a Sausage 🇦🇺♥️
My local butcher has so many sausage choices, but you can’t beat the good old thin beef
That’s my fav Beef all the way.
The pies and sausage roll most of us get them at a local servo best thing to have in the winter time, some servos are have the best brands of pie and sausage rolls and heated the right times and some are like boots, but they are better with BBQ sauce :)
the stock standard basic sausage rolls can be found everywhere in Australia from petrol stations, school canteens, pubs, milk bars, supermarkets... everywhere...one interesting ingredient that evens everything out in the basic sausage rolls is instant mashed potato powder/flakes, there are gourmet versions but there is a basic standard one that everyone seems to have...
The sausage roll is meant to be like that it's sausage mince in pastry. Good snack food that you can get anywhere basically.
The things you kept calling kolaches are sausage rolls. You got pies, and sausages rolls. You just needed chiko rolls and dim sims to round out the Australian yellow food group.
BTW, Crocodile Dundee was written by an Australian, made into a screenplay by 3 Australians, directed by an Australian, produced by an Australian, with an Australian cinematographer and the score composed by an Australian.
Two things any self respecting Aussie town has are a pub & a pie shop 😂 We live in a tiny village that doesn’t have any shops so we drive 30 minutes to another small town just to buy their pies & sausage rolls 😜 If any Aussies on here are ever in the Hunter Valley, NSW you need to go to the Icky Sticky patisserie at Lorn near Maitland, their sausage rolls will rock your world!!!
Oooh, I've been there! Great pies.
If you drown a traditional Aussie meat pie, upside down, in a bowl of thick green pea soup, add a generous squirt of tomato sauce (ketsup) on the pie, you will have an Adelaidian Pie Floater. Delicious!
In Australia, if you go for a drive and pass thru a town that has a bakery.. You stop and grab a pie, pasty or sausage roll.. Its tradition :)
The meat in a sausage roll is made of sausage mince, not beef mince. Sausage mince is beef mince that has been mixed and ground until it’s basically mush. That’s why the texture is like that.
Eating a sausage roll without tomato sauce is like having hot chips without salt. I’d be like “uh…I’m not sure who invited u but it’s time u leave”
Howdyyawl from the land down under. The sausages are bbq sosys. The meat in pastry is a sausge roll. & meat pies. Enjoy. Keeping it real 😊
Steak and cheese pies are my favourite, also you need to try potato top pies. Lamb, venison pies and mutton pies are also delicious 🤤
Nice one Carked your a legend 👏👍🏻
All of it looks like proper legit Aussie pies, sausage rolls and sausages. I’m grabbing some for lunch! Sometimes our pies are runnier gravy and the drip and burn our hands. We have many many more flavours to try!
Edamame is soy beans.
Umami is one of the flavour profiles the others are salt, sweet, sour and bitter. Umami definitely in meat products but also others. It’s the satiating flavour.
yeah they're all legit, the owner JJ is an Aussie living in LA
@@DaveWhoa yeah its pretty clear when you’re an Aussie eh. The only other way to tell is to taste it 😆 glad an Aussie is over there cooking up the real deal 👍🏼
@@annee4193 I think JJ needs to advertise more! there's not many legit Aussie bakeries in the US, and as you can tell from both of their reactions (and Big M Productions Mikey also) there'll definitely be demand for it
@@DaveWhoa it is so awesome to see this and I agree JJ needs to advertise more!! I haven't seen Big M Productions Mikey's reaction so I'll head over and check that out now.
An Aussie tradition is the sausage sizzle at Bunnings (our big hardware chain) Roughly US$1.75 ($2.50 AU) buys you a snag (slang for sausage) on a piece of bread with onions and either tomato sauce, mustard or BBQ sauce. The$ stand is set up by Bunnings and staffed by local charities who get the profits. Also of much importance (and coming up on Saturday, we hold elections when folk actually have time to vote) is the Democracy Sausage sold by charities at a stall outside the voting booths along with drinks, scones (kinda like a biscuit but fluffier and served with either butter or jam and cream) and lamingtons on election day. It is almost mandatory to have one after voting and like Bunnings stalls the charities can make serious coin.
Glad you enjoy our pies and sausage rolls. Sold by most bakeries and servos, there are quite a few variations… I normally go for a stake and mushrooms.
A hot pie goes well with a cold Aussie beer. 🥧 🍺😋🇦🇺
Our sausage rolls are made up with sausage mince and special herbs and spices😉😉 big love from Australia btw “That’s not a knife”
You can make them from home if you wanted to they are easy to make and you can freeze them as well (sausage rolls) and you can buy pie trays and make them too
Sausage rolls. Yumm!
It’s called a sausage roll
The sausage is definitely supposed to be somewhat soft it’s a way to use off cuts of meat fine mince it with onion wrap it in pastry sell it for $2 a pop at service stations
It's called a sausage roll. Usually a mixture of beef and pork sausage mince but it does vary. The wrapping is a slightly heavier version of puff pastry. You can put the tomato sauce on the sausage roll too, in which case you would have had to give it a 12.
The casing for the sausages is traditionally animal intestine, but I'm not sure you can get that anywhere in the US any more, so most likely a synthetic casing. Those look like thin beef sausages. In Australia the contents have to be a minimum of 50% lean beef (by law). The rest is usually fats, preservatives, spices and fillers.
The pies weren't anywhere near hot enough. It needs to be so hot that you can only nibble round the edges at first because the inside is so hot it will blister the roof of your mouth. I doubt there is an Aussie anywhere who has not burnt their mouth at some point. The pastry is a fat (lard) based pastry, that's why when it's too cold the texture is fatty. You can't eat a cold meat pie. Most pies you buy in Australia have a lot more gravy and less meat. It's a quick and economical meal for the masses and we always complain that there is not enough meat in the pie. You can also have it with mushy peas, but that tends to be more common in the southern states, fairly rare as you go north. I like both peas and tomato sauce. Some people like a chunky meat pie, but the minced beef (ground beef in the US) is more usual. You can also get variations on the meat pie - steak and bacon, pepper, bacon and cheese (still has beef), curried beef etc.
Additions to the meat pie (peas, bacon, cheese etc) are normally on top of the meat but under the pie shell. In the case of the peas it is added after the pie is cooked. You lop the top off the pie, add the mushy peas, then squash the top back down. The mushy peas have to be reconstituted dried peas for the authentic flavour. The consistency is like a very thick paste. Another variation is the pie floater, usually found in South Australia especially Adelaide. A bowl of very mushy peas with a plain steak pie on top, and tomato sauce on the pie. Not found much outside of South Australia and almost unheard of in the northern states (eg Queensland). Ask for a pie floater in Queensland and people will look at you funny.
All of these things are variations on British food from our mostly British heritage, hence the use of lard in the pastry, dried (split) peas, and the lack of seasoning apart from salt and pepper.
As an aussie i got soooooo hungry watching this 😂🤣 glad you blokes enjoyed it 🍺😉👌🇦🇺
That's why everyone loves Australia 🇦🇺, our food and lifestyle is the best in the world, go you good thing mate, from Australia 🇦🇺 mate.
The meat in pastry is a sausage roll, the beef sausage needed cooked onions on top. Kethchup is not tomato sauce, they taste different but as close as you had.
We only had plain pies as kids. When I was in grade 6 in the 60’s some Monday’s we got to order a pie with sauce and a cream bun. That was 15 cents so we took our Mother home the 5 cents change. You couldn’t get fresh bread on weekends then and this was still a treat. We have hot dogs but those foods are way more eaten here than a hotdog. They are sold everywhere but we all have our favourite places and bakeries. If I was still allowed to eat them.
Australian foods are grown and made under really strict rules including beef. If anything is added we will not buy it. My son works in an Emergency Ward and a Critical Care Ward at night. He is the only one at his hospital qualified to work in them. In the daytime he is an Organic farmer with his wife. She works nights delivering babies in different hospitals. They grow Organic Garlic, Organic grass fed beef, they supply 3 florists with flowers each week, they sell organic honey at the Post Office. They grow enough lavender for the bees, for oil and for floral wreaths. In their spare time they say hi to their children who only come home from boarding school on the weekends. 🤣 Everything they grow was carefully planned to earn the highest amount of money for their land. They want to leave Medicine and farm full time. His wife will only be working 2 nights a week next year. They will both be full time farmers in 3 years and that makes them happy. They will be able to retire early. Their farm is on a hill overlooking the ocean, I wouldn’t want to leave to work either.
Such sweet memories...Same here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 The pie and doughnut was my fav on Mondays
The silent chewing says it all. Staples right there boys. True blue
Phezz, umami is a mild flavour somewhere between slightly sweet and slightly salty. The tomato sauce gives each of those items a nice kick.
