General consensus seems to be Shaeno's Brisket pie as being the best (and it is amazing) but I prefer the corned beef (with vegetables, mustard sauce, potato top) from BJ's Bakery

@Stockcar86 noice! Is it proper corned beef?

[Stockcar86]

@Bones if by proper you mean not out of a tin, then yes

[nzzp]

@Stockcar86 I'm in the Hawkes bay at the moment but not a big Facebook user

Who's selling the pie? Will try to get there in her next couple of days!

Edit: found it. Shaneos Bakehouse Hastings. Will try and swing past

I won't add to the huge list, but enjoy the trip

To be honest if you are in the presale and quick online, you are unliekly to miss out

A thread ostensibly about visiting NZ has ended up being largely about pies and beer (with a mention of rugby).

Nice work guys.

@Snowy

You sound surprised?

Personally, I'd be shocked if any thread didn't morph into a discussion on food, beer, hawt (polish) chicks, sooner rather than later. With a smattering of rugby for appearances sake.

Suitably impressed that it segued so nicely to pies and beer really.

I was going to mention the lack of chicks being slightly disappointing, but I probably just didn't wait long enough.

Dragged everyone there for a pie for lunch.. It was closed. I'm gutted, Google lied to me.

Will have to come back

How long has Shaneos been on that spot?

Also, do they have meatballs like the previous bakery in that spot did?

[Stockcar86]

@Nepia Every bakery worth anything in Napier or Hastings has meatballs. They are pretty good from there too

That should be true, but sadly on trips back I have found some that don't have them.

Can you remember what the bakery here used to be called? It's annoying me now.

[Stockcar86]

Sorry. my brain is mush, so can't recall. Here is a closeup of those meatballs... mmmmmmm

[canefan]

They look like scotch eggs. Yum
