Dont know about Awesome Elly ... Stupid Sheila !

I guess if you dont know what kidney tastes like it is a bit weird although I'd have thought kangaroo's testicles might be similar, but chewier

Won't take lectures on taste from a nation that eats Vegemite!

If she already knew she didnt like kidney, why did she buy a steak and kidney pie? Vic's "Dumb Sheila" is the correct assessment!

I humbly suggest that you didn't pay sufficient attention to this strangely informative piece of filmmaking. She was clearly unaware of what kidney was (initially assuming it was kidney bean).

The meat pie is, of course, the national dish of Australia. I have polled my antipodean friends on the occurrence of offal in pies and it seems widely accepted that Steak and Kidney pie was "A Thing" when they were growing up but seems to be less common now with Steak and Onion, Steak and Mushroom etc. being more common.

I suggest that rather than the lack of familiarity being cultural it is, in this instance, generational.

I wonder if she sells many branded garments?

So we are in Tahiti heading for Tonga. We have some Frey Bentos pies on board. Only 2 years out of date. Had one as we crossed the equator will have the next one when we cross the dateline next week. Probably save the last one until we hit the western approaches..... Can't beat them!

She is not that stupid, part of a generation that make money out of YouTubing by simply commenting on stuff, in this case her speciality is food tasting and commenting in a quirky way. It would be interesting to know how much she makes from this.

Are they really edible then?

Offal is disgusting.

Tripe, chitlings, sweetbreads, liver, kidneys, brains, trotters etc were regular favorites in my childhood home in Yorkshire. Luckily I managed to blag a cheese sandwich.

Trundling down the Pacific Highway a few years ago, stopped at a roadside caff. Meat pie and chips says the sign, What kind of meat is it? Meat! Yeah but what kind? Pork, chicken, steak? Meat Meat! In an angry Antipodean accent! Right I'll have a cheese sarney then!

I went to the 'famous' pie cart in Sydney, recommended by Parkinson & Billy Connelly.
Pie/mash/peas, absolutely disgusting taste.
No wonder the seagull population could hardly walk, let alone fly, gorging themselves on the stuff thrown away by unsuspecting tourists.

Is Fray Bentos exclusively yottie fare? I typed "Fray Bentos review" into Google and the #1 hit was:

"Pie Tom's" in Bradford's Kirkgate Market used to be the best. :encouragement:

2-1/2p for pie and peas (for the Brexiteers that's 6d).

"What sort of cheese?"

"Cheese cheese!"
