Apollo Bay bakery does a beautiful curried scallop pie. $12 though.

Bit steep.

Regular price or happy hour?

Nah, 1983 ☹

I worked in a pub in the 70s when pots were something like 34 cents. 7oz were 27 cents.

Then due to my liver I gave up drinking a long time back. Fast forward to a send off so we go to some fancy joint. I buy the first round. I must have handed over a fifty and the girl gives me a look like, hey, * off loser. Where's the rest!

Anyway I have had three meat pies in total since 1970. One that I made myself in 1981 which was OK and another when I stayed at a friend's place in Canberra. A student. The pie was a luxury for a poor student in 1984.

100% correct not much more to say. Similarly, sarsparilla is head and shoulders above all other soft drinks

I agree with the jelly bean but I'd vote for Bundaberg ginger beer.

Sarsaparilla flavour is ? Like Blue Heaven Big M. What the hell is that ?

Agreed. There is no substitute.

I have a feeling that Blue Heaven is a completely artificial flavour that was synthesised in the 1930s. Could be wrong.
Sarsparilla is faintly aniseed and I think is derived from some sort of plant root.

History of blue heaven here. Raspberry and vanilla supposedly:

Blue Heaven colour first made - Australian food history timeline

The Blue Heaven milkshake is an all-Australian invention, but its origins are a mystery. The blue colour, Brilliant Blue 133, was first made in 1929.

Still waiting for the satay-sauce outcome.
