What it is

The hand-held national lunch: the meat pie — flaky pastry filled with minced beef in rich gravy, eaten with tomato sauce at footy matches and bakeries — plus its deluxe sibling, the sausage roll. Ingredients: shortcrust and puff pastry, beef mince, onion, gravy (flour, stock, Worcestershire), tomato sauce (essential). Recipe: 1) Simmer the mince filling until thick and dark. 2) Fill pastry cases; lid with puff. 3) Bake until golden and blistered. 4) Eat one-handed, sauce on top, contents at lava temperature (tradition). Serve: at bakeries, servos and stadiums. Flavor: savoury, peppery, pastry-rich. History: pies came with British settlement and became Australia's portable lunch; the Four'N Twenty pie (1947) industrialised the love. See also: Chicken Parmigiana, Vegemite on Toast.
