Just thought it may interest some of you...
It's also bit of a blatant plug...

Although seeing as this forum gave me the initial push to start up this small venture in the first place I guess it's only my duty to break the news here first anyway! so here goes ...

THE BEST!! and THE most authentic Pork Pies - Eccles cakes - 'Proper' hot or cold Cornish Pasties - Cherry Bakewells (forget Kiplings) - Scotch Eggs - and Hot Cheese Straws will all be available at the New Farm and Indooroopilly Farmers Markets (Starting this Saturday at New Farm) in Brisbane.

Proper traditional fayre made without compromise...

BTW...also very interested in your most wanted food items to grow the range further. Scotch Pies are very likely additions to be coming soon.

This is gourmet stuff, not the usual supermarket standard so if your close by this coming Saturday check out 'Wensley's Traditional Fine Fayre!' and support a fellow Expat! Blatant plug over & Thanks for listening.

Good on ya - suggest advertising prices - imagine BE will tolerate a "small trader ad".

Sorry for being a plonker what is IGA - Independant Grocers Association?

Wenz, when I next get to go South of the Border I will make sure to try you out - do you do decent sausage rolls? Do you do postal?

Wenz

British style (pork) sausage rolls will be a definite addition further down the track if this small business takes off..
This Saturday will be our first time selling our wares to the public, so it's fingers crossed time really, the products are all first class, 'hand-on-heart' best I've seen in Australia. Just hope there is a demand enough to make it feasible.
Hopefully a website and mail order site could be on the cards eventually too, hopefully to include online ordering of food gift hampers for Christmas etc.

It could be really good or it could all just die on its arse. gonna have a good crack at it though.

Ok so you can roll eyes at me being a plonker but,

Where is my nearest IGA! Please I need a decent fix. Cause at $4.60 at woolies and yer man does not eat it until it has the jelly bits detached? Which means the pie!!

I have been moaning since I got here ! -but he finds a pork pie and even he won't eat it! Well unless we pick it apart?

I fly back 17 Aug for one week on my list, no specfic order!

Sweeny Todds Pork Pies (local Reading pies)
or if the buggers can't be bother I will make do with M&S
Potato Bread
Batchelor Super Noodles (Only Beef Flavour)
Cheese and more cheese..........and more cheese
Give blood
Start a topic on crappy cheese and not have people argue with you that it is available.
Agree Australia has a good choice of Asian food so I DO NOT WANT THAI when I am back in the UK for 7 days.
Yes I am white - I do not sun bathe (bake) - it is winter here?!

Guess big time I am going back in 7 weeks and I am planning on putting on pounds and pounds!
