No Pies???

[redmonkeyman]

Went to the Sunday twilight as a neutral today at the MCG and was shocked that when i went to buy a couple of pies at half time and there wasn't any! How does that happen and who do i complain to?

[DapperDon]

How does that happen?

and who do i complain to?

The guy who ate them all.

To not have the australian rules staple food item avaiable at the main break is a disgrace. In the end i did go with chips btw

Agree considering it is the main sporting facility in Melbourne. Also Byron, not all of us like to live on a Hungry Jacks diet like West coast supporters do .

No Pies at the footy, that would be like running out of beer at a One Day International Cricket match. It's just not on

You say that as though the average meat pie is healthier than a Hungry Jacks meal, when it isn't by any stretch of the imagination.

The pastry alone on pies is enough to cause a heart attack. Each layer of pastry is heavily basted with butter, and the whole thing is held together using excessive amounts of lard, an animal product which has one of the highest saturated fat (the "bad fat") contents of any of the common cooking fats. That's before you get into all the fat in the gravy, and the iffy quality/sources of meat that are used too.

Don't let that spoil anyone's enjoyment of them though

Obviously you haven't seen what goes into a hungry Jacks Meal then, or the fact that some of their burgers such as this one.

And you're obviously not aware of what actually goes into the average meat pie then, or the amount of fat in them either.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand only require meat pies to be 25% meat, and a fair number of them don't even meet that standard. FSANZ allow beef, buffalo, camel, cattle, deer, goat, hare, pig, poultry, rabbit and sheep to be used in meat pies, and their definition of "meat" includes definition of meat includes snouts, ears, tongue roots, tendons and blood vessels. Is that really what you're wanting when you buy a meat pie? Furthermore, the average meat pie contains roughly the same amount of fat as a Hungry Jacks Whopper (far more popular and regularly consumed than the Quad Stack, and often paired with fries), and considering the lack of lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc. in comparison to the Whopper, it is arguably less nutritious on the whole as well.

No pie in one outlet? you probably could have walked 20 meters to the next food outlet, but the fact you are complaining about it, 20 meters would be a struggle
