+1 for the little shop in Kangaroo Valley.....cant get enough of the pastry there

+1

 

We stopped in there for a pie and a coffee about 47,634 years ago - prolly had different owners back then but they sure didn't whack 'em in a microwave.

 

 

 

When I was living at Snives in Sydney about 25 years ago we used to lob into the French patisserie shop at Turramurra to score some of their famous choux pastry and coffee custard filled eclair type thingys. Well bugger me dead, I dropped in their last March / April while visiting my family / band mates and found the same shop had re-opened some time later in a newly developed arcade type of building and naturally had to savor the wares again.

 

These bad boys were so nice if you had too many at once you'd develop a serious case of orgasm de osculum

 

Where is the new location? I live in that area.

Try the one in Camden - it is much better and not as far away.

Try the one in Camden

 

I'll vouch for them.

How far from Turramurra Music is that?

 

It's about 200 metres diagonally across the road just past the lights. They're tucked in behind a street front shop but damn that place was always and still is busy. When I called in it was about 3.00p.m. on a Friday and the place was packed with latte drinkers all savoring the delectable tastes on offer. Their presentation in the window displays is on a par with what you'd see in France / Switzerland / Austria / Germany. They really are that good. Ask for one of those chocolate or coffee filled eclair thingies and you'll know why I rave about them so much.

 

I swear I walked out of that place with an erection of the tongue.

 

BTW - If you know the shop LP, ask to speak to my old band mates, (Rob - bass player - owner) or Ron - guitarist - sales) - they'll be sure to add a mate's surcharge ..........     er discount for ya!

See the post above S.T. - If you like French patisserie (and who doesn't), this place is hard to beat.

 

Cheers

Tell 'em their drummer sent you! (It's Greg)

 

They'll prolly remember my name even if they don't want to remember my face!

Had a meat pie for brekkie this morning from this place - http://gladesville.opendi.com.au/684335.html

 

Slightly above average quality beef mince - $4 ea.

More mince than gravy which is good with a nice flaky crust 

but the taste is just average. 

So I had morning tea with the Mrs and little one at the joint in Turramurra today.......pies are good, but not excellent.

 

The sweets looked superb, really good....didn't have any

We have to combine this thread with the one about buying a microwave.

They are the only food related threads that should be labelled hot but aren't. ( insert smiley here )

I used to like eating cold pies....................and the best cold pie was Big Ben.

Euuu,..

k!

When I lived in The UK I used to buy and eat cold cornish pasties.

And other pastry treats for that matter.

Can't say I've ever had a cold small meat pie but I've definitely had cold slices of a large pie.

Always been one to eat cold leftovers.

Especially pizza.

Yum.

A good steak & kidney meat pie wih chunky pieces and thick gravy is great cold with HP sauce.  The coolness gives the meat/offal/gravy a good solidity!    

Lots of little country towns have great pies.

Love a good little country bakery.

Can't stand those soggy Mrs Macs bags of pastry with whatever they put in them.

 

Yes!

 

I don't think anyone has mentioned the 'Braidwood bakery'! Award winning pies and pasteries.

 

They've got lots of competition ribbons hanging up in the shop.

 

Nobody can go through 'Braidwood' and not stop in!

 

And to the mention of 'Mrs Macs' pies! I sincerely (and I do mean that) HOPE that you are not referring to the 'servo station' pies! Pleeeze!

I don't think I've ever been to Braidwood.
I'll have to make a detour one day.

Been through Braidwood quite a few times and have stopped at the bakery on each and every occasion. Lots to choose from and most of it can be enjoyed without hesitation.

 

And yes, surfpurple, I do mean those Mrs Macs pies. Considering that they are mass produced they are far and away the best of their kind and I can honestly say that I have sampled far worse from far too many for it to be a fluke dedicated bakeries all over this fair country. Just because they're mass produced doesn't mean that they're not any good, in the same way that being made by the local bakery doesn't guarantee quality.

I too have spent many years living in England and I miss the ready availability of the noble Scotch Egg. And pork pies with the proper pastry that no-one in Australia can even get close to.

 

And what about clotted cream on your icecream cones?

there was one shop, somewhere in Sydney, i dont remember where, i moved around, but it was in the early to late 80s i think, anyway, they specialised and only sold imported English Scottish pork pies, haggus, the entire catalogue of Anglo "delicacies"

 

cold pies straight from the fridge, i never tried one, i only walked in to get a hot pie, they looked either baked there to an original recipe, with some imported stock, cant comment on how close, if not original, they were, ever come across it?

it think it may have been in that cluster of delis heading towards Elizabeth Bay, near The Sebel

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Are you defending the servo pies or are you surprised that I have eaten them?

He's saying that they aren't that good.

Well that's what I said too
