I want moreton bay bugs followed by roo stew!

I've eaten most of the stuff on that list already. The meat pies exist in both varieties here: "shepard's pie" or "pâté chinois" is usually ground beef and vegetables baked under mashed potatoes, and "tourtière" is a meat pie where the meat is either ground veal, mutton or pork or all three or venison. Included in the pie there can be potato or onion or lard... there are many variations.

Ah, but those aren't Australian Meat Pie.

Imagin a small, round apple pie, about 6" in diameter. Now, instead of fruit use ground beef and gravy, and non-sweet pastry. That's a meat pie.

Variations are curried meed, meat & veg, steak & onion, Steak & bacon, meat & potatoes, chicken and veg, etc.

Yesterday I went to (what used to be a huge and varied) fish market and asked for morton bay bugs or slipper lobsters. They kept trying to sell me spiney lobsters. Oz is too far away.
