My potato pie. There's really nothing like instant mashed potato, especially since my proposal to take a packet camping was vetoed.
The all-important sauce anointing ritual. I think that's the curry chicken pie.
A work in progress - a chunky beef pie. Mmmm.
And a before shot of my lemon meringue pie. Crispy fluffy meringue, tart delicious lemon curd... I wonder if they make it in the microwave like they did the other night on Masterchef?
Afterwards. Yum.We returned to Robertson Pie Shop on our way home to pick up a large steak and mushroom pie and two large sweet pies (apple and rhubarb and apple and strawberry). All very nice (although I didn't get to try the steak and mushroom myself, I'm just going on the fact that it was all gone within the day we got back). Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area - a warning though that the Macquarie Pass (part of Jamberoo Mountain Road, towards the Robertson end) from Albion Park to Robertson is a bit treacherous, but not so nerve-wracking that a warm pie won't settle the tummy.

ReplyDeleteNice to be reading your reviews again, flapflap :)
The handy thing about all those pie shops claiming to be the best in the country/hemisphere/world/universe is that they're far away from the *next* pie shop claiming the same thing that there's no way of actually comparing them. Clever!
There's a bakery/pie shop in Goulburn that I have particularly fond memories of... but whether the memory of the taste is inflated by the boredom of the drive down to Canberra, I'm not sure :)
Ooh yay, I'm glad the pie was appreciated :) Now I'll have to head to Goulburn in my quest to attempt to compare NSW pie shops (even if it may be an impossible task)...
