Aussie Meat Pie Quiz – Fillings, Footy and Pie Floaters

The Aussie meat pie is a handheld pastry filled with minced meat, usually beef, in rich gravy. It often has a shortcrust base and a flaky puff pastry lid, and many people top it with a squeeze of tomato sauce.

Meat pies are a classic snack at Australian rules football games and other sports. Four'N Twenty, a brand that began in Victoria in 1947, is famous for footy pies, while local bakeries sell gourmet versions with steak, mushroom, curry or cheese.

In Adelaide, the pie floater serves a pie upside down in a bowl of thick pea soup, a dish long sold from late-night pie carts. Bakers compete in pie awards to find the best pie, and New Zealand shares a deep love of the meat pie too, with its own pie contests and favorite flavors.
