Meat Pie

An Australian meat pie's airy pastry is filled with sauce and minced meat. Naturally, the filling may be made with a variety of components, such as onions, chicken, and asparagus, mushrooms, cheese, crocodile flesh, vegetables, or seafood.

Two other meat pie variants are party pies (tiny pies served to party guests) and the pie floater (a green pea soup with a pie floating on top of it). The pie's origins may be traced back to the Neolithic period, when barley, semolina, and grains were mashed into a paste and baked over hot coals with honey.

If you've never eaten a meat pie, you haven't really experienced Australian culture. You really don't have any reason to turn down this dish, as they are pretty much served at large events or in restaurants.
