Look I support local as much as the next guy (Shout out to my local butcher and chip shop) but I'll be damned if I support my local baker. Dude seems like a prick

I do love a good pie but tbh we don't have any amazing places nearby.

What we do have though is places that do an amazingBanh Mi. Different types of Vietnamese Mayo. One puts avocado in them haha. Another one has crispy fried chicken. Obviously the different types of pork too.

It's probably my most common option if I eat out!

Anyone got a favourite Banh Mi place?

This is what I've found whenever I'm in Sydney for work. Hard to get a decent quality pie at any price point

Semi related went out for Vietnamese last night and it was terrible. The missus ordered a stir fry and ended up being served coles bbq chicken, frozen veg and sauce from a packet

Really interesting take as to the point I was trying to make. Seems tone like usual is hard to portray in written form.

I was merely saying the non-stop I made better decisions than you back and forward wasnt all that useful, not that I just want people to post advice. You cant really think that the slagging off of peoples decisions is constructive conversation can you?

My favourite posts on here are the totally fantasy irrelevant convos/spirals that go on, and there is some seriously hilarious banter that goes on here too. But yea, might just stop posting here, no skin off my nose

You're an actual rat, they're are enough preservatives in those things they could be left out in the elements for 6 years and still be fine slapping that sauce down on a meat pie. When you go into a bakery and grab a sauce off the bench for 50c do you pause and go "well this belongs in the fridge." Nah you take your squeeze sauce chuck.it on a pie and are grateful when you have a nice hot pie to eat. Heaven forbid you have a cold pie, and if you did you'd walk right back into Brumbies to get that fixed, or you'd tuck your tail between your legs and go home and microwave it to have the most unsatisfying meal of your life. So why would you want cold sauce to mess up your hot food.

Have oloapu spare and was wondering if I would run into any issues looping him and Ponga.

Maybe not the best idea though seeming I forgot my loop last week costing me 36 points.

It has to be tried to be believed, greasy limp pastry encasing what looks like an over processed sausage, yes actual sausage shape as well, all of which seems to have been made using some sort of rancid butter/oil which give it a slightly fishy aroma and leaves the inside of your mouth needing a coke gargle to try and degrease it.

Due to a miscommunication Mrs Aardvark accidently picked up some sausage rolls for a kids birthday from there earlier in the year (failing to remember she had purchased Australia's worst custard slice from there a decade earlier). The birthday girl had a bite and spat it straight out so Mrs A was fuming 'They can't be that bad'. I had a bite and headed straight out to buy some more from an alternative location without saying anything. She later conceded that it was indeed the worst baked good she had ever tasted.

I won't name it, but it's next to Billy's Meats and has inexplicably gathered some great reviews. Even their bread rolls are shit.
