The humble Australian meat pie can contain beef, buffalo, camel, cattle, deer, goat, hare, pig, poultry, rabbit and sheep. The Average Australian consumes 12 meat pies a year. My personal record is 9 in one day.
No other food makes me feel better after a surf and a meat pie. Nothing to extreme, it doesn't have to be gourmet or anything. A stock standard pie is perfect. This brings me to the third instalment of unfortunate moments in surfing... The empty pie warmer. Milk bars and general stores cannot prepare for the onslaught of a car load of hungry surfers, and thus they cannot be blamed when they run low on pies. A first in first served approach applies and there is nothing worse than being "that guy" who has to have a sausage roll, or even worse, some rank potato cakes because you were a bit slow getting out of the car.
I took this shot in Lavers Hill, fortunately after we had made our pie purchases. I feel for the next surfer who came in and found this horrifying sight, the empty pie warmer.
