Nibble pies
Mar. 1st, 2010 10:56 pmWhat is this strange feeling? I'm... I'm cold. This is delightful. I had to put a pair of socks on this evening, for the first time in ages.
Waiting at the hairdresser's today, I read an issue of Gourmet Traveller magazine, which claimed that the party pie is one of Australia's contributions to global food culture. Is this right? Has no-one else ever thought of making tiny meat pies to give to children at parties? I can't really believe that. But the first two pages of results on Google have .au domains, so it must be true. Fancy that.
I was about to have a rant about what ever happened to nibble pies, as we called them when I was little. Who changed the name to party pies? But subsequent investigation revealed that the name 'nibble pie' is unique to the City by the Sea. So that was the end of that.
