A while ago I read over at the the food pornographer about the obviously very yummy Pies you can get at Mrs Mac´s.
Sure I had a look, here from the land of no Pies.
In their FAQ´s I found this:
"Can I order on-line?
Unfortunately we do not have that facility currently.
For information on your local distributor or retail outlet please contact us."
And also that they deliver New Zealand as well.
So, I took their offer and contacted them, asking if - when online-ordering finally will be possible - they deliver Europe as well (Great Britain would surely be a market, no?).
Making pies is just such "hard" work, meaning time-consuming! Not to mention Jerky, which I miss so much (the NT-one).
I even got an answer - a positive one! Not as positive as I hoped, but... typically Aussie-like (meaning being supportive and friendly!).
I got a no. Cause it´s really difficult to get certified for Europe.
But... when I´m in Perth next time I am to call Rob and he will organise some products for me to take home!
Bummer, huh???? (Try anything (not Pie-related) like that in Germany... we´re called Service-Desert for a reason...).
Aww... if it wasn´t so darn expensive and so darn exhausting, I´d be tempted to drive to Frankfurt and enter the next Qantas right now!
Wait, no!!! You guys have winter!!! Nope, I´d wait till... late October :-)
Shown Pie btw is the last one Ingo made (in an ashtray).
My Canadian Friedene from last Cuba-Holiday suggested also to take simply muffin forms - it´s called Tards then. Any suggestions? Isn´t that more work?

Hmmm... hadn't considered that but it would totally work. Just line the muffin holes with pastry, fill 'em up and put a pastry lid on. Or, buy a pie dish off ebay! There's a reasonably new Aussie company that exports 'Australian' food to expats (and others!) I just can't remember the name of it right now. Leave it with me and I'll get back to you ;)
PS While I'm here... did the sticker ever arrive or should I pop another one in the post?
Pastry lids... I think I have never seen this here!
No!!! I thought you had eventually forgotten about the sticker!
Never came here!
Maybe you wrote the 7 in Aussie style and the postman mistook it for a 1?
Should I E-Mail you my postal adress once more?
Gah, stupid post!!!
No no, pastry lids are the pastry on top of the pie, ie lid of pastry!
I still have your address, will be sure to write it properly and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it'll get there this time.
:-) We have only puff pasty that comes in layers or rolls...
But Ingo can make them by hand :-)
Do you know a quick receipe? Last one took 90 minutes of cooking the meat, that´s like forever!
Yips, fingers crossed here, too! Guess the one who delivers to #12 is another as the one to #72 - and just doesn´t bother!
Tards? Not retards?
