Not only are the pies great, but the price point is ideal and it doesn’t break the bank. The owners are great too, and I find that in addition to going in for pies, we stand and chat for a bit before leaving. <br /><br />The lack of veggies should hardly be a drawback since they’re going for a sense of authenticity with their pies. My girlfriend is Australian and my friend’s wife is from New Zealand. Both gave the pies 10/10 and agreed it reminds them both of home, which they hadn’t found in any of the other meat pies here before. These are exactly like the pies you’d find in NZ/Aus/South Africa. There are a few veggie-filled choices as well (chicken/veg and full veggie off the top of my head.)<br /><br />There’s one little subtlety which I haven’t seen mentioned in any of the blogs yet, and that’s the labelling system via the little pieces of pastry dough at the top of each pie, so you’re not left to guess what you bought. It’s a really small thing I know, but it proves huge when you don’t want to bite into something you didn’t want (like in cases like ours where we bought 20-ish pies for the party.<br /><br />Anyway..the great tasting food combined with the friendly owners and the frequent buyers card (buy 12, get the 13th free) will keep bringing me, along with my friends back.<br /><br />----<br /><br />I should probably add the weird location rationale which you already know about but some of the readers might not...they're mostly an import business first and in the business of pies second. Burnaby Bylaws require the business to be located in an industrial location because of its primary nature, which is why it ends up being a little out of the way.<br /><br />Trisha > I think they make salmon pies. It's on the sticker legend they give you on the way out.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-19683285382169663062010-02-01T00:45:08.869-08:002010-02-01T00:45:08.869-08:00LOL Anson.

Then after me, there was another Asian person and the wife owner said, "I think that's Sherman."<br /><br />Hmm...was that you? Would you re-visit a place and not blog about it? Anyways, good stuff. Thanks for the heads up. I think I tried the steak and kidneys...and YES, they taste like real kidneys...er..duck kidneys I guess.Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878560971925723051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-41057068761495394042010-01-30T20:01:58.886-08:002010-01-30T20:01:58.886-08:00Trisha, you're in luck!
