Review #103 - Dated: 10th of January, 2004 Author: Tucker |
I have enjoyed literally hundreds of different Steak and Cheese pies from around the globe on my travels. Spent thousands of dollars on these pastry packets of meaty bliss. And I would have to say that I was missing out on a taste of heaven until I munched on a Maketu Pies S'n'C Pie.
It was early morning, I was on my way to work and I was running late. No time for breakfast at home, so thought I would grab a pie at the service station near work. They were sold out. So, on impluse I shot into the nearby Foodtown to their hot chicken display down the back, planning to grab some chook bits and a few bread rolls, and snack on those as the morning progressed.
Tucked off to one side of the hotbox I spotted these pies, and JOY! they had Steak & Cheese. So I grabbed one, thinking "for two bucks, they won't be great, but they should at least be bearable." Took a bite... HOT HOT HOT! So I let it cool down a bit as I warmed up the store machines. Then started to feed... DROOL! It was so tasty! The pastry was a little too flakey for my liking, but the filling was REAL MEAT CHUNKS, in a tasty gravy, with REAL CHEESE TASTE!
Awesome pie! Not interested in any other brand now. If it isn't a Maketu's, I won't eat it! (Unless in dire need and nowhere near a Maketu's stockist.)
