The Idea Imported directly from Whitechapel, East london, and firm favourite of Cockneys. IE: No Pie and Mash shops south of the river (my ex manor), That I'm aware of anyway.

We dont get this In Melbourne, They do have it in Adelaide for some reason, wheres the liquor, or green sauce though ?

Australia being only 250 years old, and being mostly british up until the 40's of course has it's culinary roots, in the british area of cusine, It has vastly improved since the 40's with the influence of other culinary cultures into this country.

i'm totally confused, how can we ever have a diverse society if everyone keeps within their own groups?

....it's like saying a curry is different from spaghetti bolognese, but lets add them together anyway because it's multi-flavoural.

I agree we should not have forced integration and their should be respect for each others cultures, but it seems to me that all over the world the concept of multi-culturism is being used for exactly the purpose of forcing people to live together. When everyone has been mixed up, their wont be anything such thing as multi-culturism, only a uni-culture which is bland, boring and useless.

For example, when I go to Japan, I dont want to see Russian people, eat Chinese food, or see Brazilian films, I want to experience Japanese stuff. Iv'e got nothing against Russians, Brazilians, and Chinese, but there not the reason I would ever go to Japan for.

have a look at this: http://www.davidduke.com/index.php?p=265

it's about how Ireland is slowly becoming non-Irish. Can you imagine going to Ireland but never meeting an Irish person, or never hearing an Irish voice?

If you like a drink:

sherry with a wijuti grub in it , good pressies for people ( I actually bought one of these a few years ago, no I didn't drink it. I took it back home this Christmas and give it to my mum in law - nope she didn't drink it won't even put it on her shelf - ungrateful s*d lol )

There are several pie shops (Garlos) around where I live and in the CBD, not to mention Harrys at Woolloomoolloo, but I think pie shops get a bit of a tough time these days going up against health fads.

In answer to an earlier poster - Mitcham and St Reatham both have excellent pie + mash shops, though my personal favourite was Manzis in Walthamstow.

Hmmmm, pies.

The are now selling Jesters Jaffle pies in frozen 4 packs in the supermarket at Ocean Reef for $10 - yum!

Not guilty! I only just got round to reading this thread.

It does sound like a wind up though

Oh, if anyone watched last weeks BHG, Fast Eddie was banging on about Fish and Chips being the great australian classic dish. I was shouting at the TV as usual, explaining its BRITISH, but he doesn't listen

Cheers,

Hey, that wasn't my husband. He's in for a divorce if he posts things like this:

Wherever he goes he'll never refuse Chinese food.

I can understand you being confused though as JTL has been going off topic a fair bit lately. He is with Jock at the moment - probably having lunch, with Jock's head resting on his lap staring lovingly begging for food.

Cheers,
Mrs JTL

P.S. Darn... Oy, JTL/husband/whoever, How did you manage to post before me?????
