Is it true yankees don't have these? I feel you could start a fast food chain over there selling pies and shit

There was a brief boom (at least in NYC) but it seems to have died out. We even had a few Pie Face locations at one point.

hand savory pies are so sorely missing. probably the only thing i can’t get here that i can get traveling. chinese bakeries sort of have this but not as good

>>21445911 (OP)
You can find it in some places. There's a restaurant in Chicago with a few locations called Bangaroos Aussie Pies. Supposedly it's authentic but very few Americans would actually be about to tell. They have to explain on their website what an Aussie Pie is and how to eat it.

Even KFC sold pot pies. How retarded are you? The pastry wrap on the right is news to me though.

>>21445911 (OP)
We dont have sausage rolls. Corn dogs would probably be the closest thing to that.
Most pies with meat here are like chicken pot pie. Ground meat isnt used for pies much in the USA. I tried FourAndTwenty pies and they were fuckin awful. I would love to try an Aussie meat pie thats betwr quality.

@Grok do yankees eat pot pies?

Gilbert Gottfried opened a Pie Face store in NYC. He was a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice. It went out of business pretty quickly because of Trump I guess

AI has more personality than you

>>21446112
That was well before Trump's presidential run and probably unrelated

Yes, pot pies are a staple cuisine in North America - thew were invented in New Hampshire in 1932 and have been widely consumed ever since

>>21446131
Chicken pies were invented in America . . .whatever next?

it's mainly chicken pot pie, which is the worst one

US has a cultural blindspot because they think that stuff is boring white people food and assume they already have all the good stuff but they DON"T. really miss the pies, pasties, sausage rolls, and pork pies available in UK.

>>21445911 (OP)
What puzzles me about American fast food is that NONE of it, is actually as fast as grabbing a hot meatpie from the bakery/supermarket/whatever... I thought Americans were all about convenience...

>>21446153
The winning gourmet pie of the Australia's Best Pie contest last year was a "Jack Daniel's BBQ pulled beef with mac & cheese"
That sounds pretty American to me.
Not sure why pies haven't taken off yet in US

>>21445911 (OP)
They probably call them sandwiches am I right

>>21446153
>pork pies
Goodbye

>>21445911 (OP)
These don't look very good.
I'm guessing they are Australian and not British?

>>21446161
Jack Daniel's BBQ is a regular boring flavor in the US. If that's the destiny of pie flavors then they can stay in the attic.

>>21445920
Pie face are absolutely shit, Ferguson plarre used to have good pies but they cheaper out on their ingredients about a decade ago, and 4 and 20 is absolute bottom of the barrel pigs ass pies, for a decent pie you need to go to an independent bakery

>>21445967
Sausage roll

>>21445911 (OP)
We have empanadas everywhere in the US with Hispanic influence, which are always delicious. Then in the freezer aisle you can find chicken or beef pot pies, which are actually pretty good bang for your buck, a filling $1.50 snack.
Then of course in the Upper Midwest there's the ubiquitous Cornish Pasty, sold by roadside stands and restaurants in every town. Pretty bland unless you have copious ketchup or hot sauce.

>>21446159
Every Walmart has a hot & ready food station right up front by the register. It will have fried chicken sandwiches, egg rolls, empanadas, corn dogs, popcorn chicken, burgers, pizza slices, etc. all for less than $3 an item.

>>21445911 (OP)
Like the Brits, we have enough Jamaicans here to have Jamaican beef patties nearly everywhere, including every grocery freezer section and Golden Crust location (caribbean takeout). Same pastry, great from the oven or fresh from a heater case, everywhere, from the gas station to specific vendors. They come mild, spicy hot, and vegetable. If you're lucky, you'll get a plantain edition too. Regional cuisine includes "hand pies" which might be peach this time of year. Around christmastime, there are eggnog custard versions, from Popeyes, not just apple pies.

We seem to be missing the pork pie, for sure.

I live in grand rapids, michigan and no one sells cornish pasty here

>>21446280
Go to Vicki's in Saranac. Best pasties outside of the UP

>>21446265
That beef pot pie thing is not like our pies, if I bought a pie and found a bunch of carrots and potatoes in it I'd throw the fucking thing in the face of whoever sold it to me

>>21446265
There's no difference between an empanada and a pasty though.

>>21446313
>There's no difference between an empanada and a pasty though.
empanadas can be either fried or baked. Pastys are never fried.

>>21446318
They are in Scotland

>>21446313
The difference is in the filling, empanadas are typically filled with picadillo, which is a chili and cumin spiced ground beef with tomatoes and green olives.

>>21445911 (OP)
The frozen section of Walmart only has the tiny palm size microwave pot pies I thought I'd be able to find full size pot pies that need an oven but nah. It's bewildering.

>>21445976
>We dont have sausage rolls
Yes we do they're a donut store staple

Do people hate that place or something?

Brits flexing basic pastries and the almighty "I just threw whatever I had in the fridge on a pan" English breakfast will never not be funny.

>>21445911 (OP)
In canada at least where I live in BC, sausage rolls are common. They’re sold in lots of grocery stores and gas stations, and sometimes bakeries make em homemade. But other than that, no pies except chicken pot pie that I know of.

When will Americans learn that other countries exist ?
This thread is full of Aussies and Kiwis..

>>21448280
Am Greek but am kind of tired of seeing like 5 English breakfast threads on the catalogue at all times my guy and I have lived there and lost like 20 kilos

Americans fear anything foreign or unknown.

desu I enjoyed my food much more in UK than in greece
gyros are good thobeit

>>21446159
you can walk in to almost any grocery store in america and buy an entire chicken, cooked, hot, and ready to eat straight off the shelf

>>21446159
It's not just about the food, it's about the culture
Most Australians bakeries are in shopping centers that are near to other shops
So Australians are prone to stopping off at the bakery after they go to Woolies or the butcher/fruit and veg
Americans don't have "shopping center culture", they get their groceries either from big outlet chains or the local corner store
Both of those places have their own dedicated hot food stations that you can buy food from
So there's really no room for meat pies or sausage rolls in their fast-food ecosystem

>>21445911 (OP)
Not really. We got hot pockets.

>>21450439
That must be good when you're outside in winter

>>21450473
They really aren't. They are horrible. They taste like nothing. The filling is always super hot and will fuck up your mouth. They use to have a crispy sleeve but we're peasants and don't deserve nice things so they pretended like they got rid of it for us.

Hot pockets were never good, but they used to at least taste like industrial pepperoni. Now they taste like flour paste.

I worked in meet production in the USA for 12 years and ran away. bought land to hide and still trying to get over what I saw, what people eat and why people don't literally burn down every building they see everyday.

Never, and that is why the UK will always be the go to for shit food online while Scandies and such skate through undetected.

>>21446368
I have never seen a single sausage roll in an American bakery. Where the hell do you live?
>>21447854
Oh that explains it. Im on the east coast. What do those rolls look like

>>21445911 (OP)
We don't have bong style meat pies but we have stuff like empanadas in several parts of the country which are similar. There are also places on the east coast that have Jamaican beef patties. It's all regional, however. You won't be able to go to a rural area in the middle of the country and find any of that. They'll have pot pies at a diner, though.

>>21450484
Hot pockets are great if you cook them properly in the oven and don’t use a microwave like a retard

>I feel you could start a fast food chain over there

We already have Runza and it puts whatever fast food chain you're thinking of to shame.

>>21445920
Shoulda had sweet pies too, if they did and failed it was their own fault.
People don't succeed anymore with one good food or even one good genre of food. You gotta play to the neighborhood, not wait for the neighborhood to come to your playing.

>>21445920
they're just not very attractive or photogenic so of course they're not going to take off

this is what the dubai chocolate seethecopers will never get, it doesn't matter how it tastes, it has to look interesting and aussies fail at that

>>21451479
>We already have Runza
I've never seen that place in my life. It must be very regional.

Imagine if McDonald's took the pie pastry and put a QP in there... sounds good to me

>>21445911 (OP)
>>21445920
For me, it's Myers of Keswick in the West Village. They have it all: pork pies, sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, chicken & leek pies, steak & ale pies, you name it. And a nice dry goods section with HP sauce, Branston, Colman's, Tiptree ketchup, etc if you want.

We also have an Aussie chain called Bourke Street Bakery whose sausage rolls are a little different. They make their own ketchup. Tasty stuff, love their pies too. And over in Queens there's Butcher Block which is primarily an Irish store, they have their own sausage rolls too.

>>21445920
>>21445958
the problem here is they got retarded abo cunts to market it when pies are inherently english

>>21450763
Texan here, they're not like aus/bong sausage rolls. They're Kolaches or Klobasnek, in a yeast roll rather than puff pastry and often have cheese and/or jalapeno.
