Couple of square Appin Rd pies (Wangaratta) this morning before stone picking at the bog......errr quarry.

The plain steak ones have a very dark peppery gravy taste. pastry is oh so flaky.

My analysis of that picture... Correct technique used. Bite marks and no evidence of cutlery or plates. As the integrity of said half eaten pie is intact, the baker engineered the pie properly. Im assuming 1 handed operation? Only acceptable use of 2 hands for a pie is if the integrity of the base has been compromised and second hand is only to protect the shirt and or lap from getting soiled. So not user error, an error in pie construction.

poor bugga knows how to feed his face, but cannot remember hid name, hence the name tag and 4 carers.

Correct on every account and a well written description. Almost OHS worthy.

A bakery in Galleria Vittoria Emanuel Milan today.
Croissant was lemon flavoured fill of custard. So good.

jaydee · 30-07-2023, 06:39 PM

Visiting as many bakeries as I can.
Somebody's got to do it.
This is Verona Italy.

roKWiz · 30-07-2023, 06:42 PM

I feel so sorry for you.
Problem is, what to choose ?

Multo bene.
Not really, a bit here a bit there, but just about all service staff speak English.
In the Dolomites today so watch this space for a bakery I have picked out for mornos tomorrow.
And it's sweet all the way, savoury is for dinner.

Bro, just enjoy being there and worry about the consequences when you get back on the plane. Worst things worse is you live in your trackies because nothing else fits and you spend 20hrs at the gym each day for 3 months straight to work it off.

Kidding. I am actually jealous you lucky SOB.

**FairmontGS** · 04-08-2023, 05:13 AM

roKWiz · 04-08-2023, 08:37 AM

Just glad not to live in France or Italy, I'd need a bigger truck.

One of those extension seat belts might be in order for the flight home Rokwiz.

It's a cunning scam to sell double the seating capacity on the return flights.
