Thread: Pie shops charging for sauce.

My gripe sort of fits in here, so I didn't start a new thread...

Being fat and lazy like I am, I grabbed take away tonight after a long week at work. Ordered some chips and stuff, as well as 2 Hamburgers 'with the lot' for me and SWMBO. Been using this chippy for years, but when I got home I discovered the unthinkable! NO BEETROOT!!!!!

I rang them up as I know the owners well and asked what happened to the beetroot - their reply was 'Sorry Gav, that's an extra now'

No dramas, I'll know for next time, even though I was a bit ticked as we always have beetroot on our burgers from there.

So, do I call the ACCC now and dob them in for false advertising???

So, does everyone else's local chippy do this or am I being ripped and should I take my business elsewhere?

But that's what differentiates "real" burgers from FSR fatty,salty,sugary pap (yes they are now Fast Service Restaurants!!).
I would expect it to be on all burgers, especially "the lot".

um...


why would anyone buy a pie that needs sauce ?

bugger pies altogether these days, i used to get my smoko at the local bakery all the time but then one day something changed and instead of that chunky meat with thick tasty gravy and one kind of pastry on the bottom and another golden coloured pastry on the top, now you can only buy these mass produced, made off site pastey white and can only be described as half sized mince filled crap. So now i just get subway with a choice of aoli, honey mustard, thousand island, etc etc sauces,

but are they called maggot bags for something???

is this the PIE equivalent of
" My brothers fathers sister knew a guy that had a land rover break down"

I must of had thousands and never a MB,,
In fact the last 5 years of curry pies from the same pie truck have been some of the best ever!

nope our pies are still handmade at our bakery...and they are massive and have REAL meat in them

100%!!!

I don't mind if it's a nice home-made tomato sauce in which I know the ingredients, etc etc...

But Heinz, masterfoods junk is just horrible. I don't know people can even smell it let alone eat it.

Sauce makes pretty much everything worse...
