If you're like me and grew up in Melbourne eating Four'n Twenty pies from 7-11 (washed down with a Slurpee), or gone to the MCG to eat a pie and watch Carlton win a grand final (ok, a very long time ago) and then turned vegetarian, and have missed the pie experience, then this is for you.

Usually $3 a pop or regularly on special for $2.50, but now $2.10 each (in a 4 pack)

Microwave for 3 minutes and then in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp up.

I really like them.

The meat free pie contains as much meat as the regular pies.

          They could actually introduce legislation about right to food, and maximum margin a supermarket can charge.

            They can just reduce their profit margins by paying their CEO more money, or whoever it is.

            The solution is more competition. This problem began ages ago when coles/woolworths were allowed to merge with smaller chains like bilo and safeway

        65% or so market dominance between two companies counts as a competitive market, compared to the 'dozens of multi-national supermarket chains around the world' that other countries get to enjoy?

        It's pretty hard for any newcomers to enter the market when colesworth are also buying up and strategically buying up and 'banking land' for either future sites, or preventing any rivals from being able to have a suitable place to open. Kaufland did make an attempt, but due to factors like the lack of land, pulled out in 2020.

          This is exactly why I had to specifically add a paragraph beginning with "people often don't like nuance".

          You know FULL WELL that I didn't say it's a "competitive market" - I refuted the claim that there's no competition. It's like trying to have a grown up conversation with a toddler.

            @callum9999: That is the point, if it's not a competitive market, where's the competition occurring?

            Like you said, people often don't like nuance. That's why people don't consider Aldi/IGA/independents as competition because of their inability to challenge and compete on the same level as the duopoly. They exist, they compete for the smaller slices of the pie, but they don't provide any real threat to the big two.

      The only way to make things change is for us, the people with the money, to boycott Coles-Worths.
      Stop being duped by FlyBuys and Reward cards, and their (not really on sale) sales promotions and shop somewhere else for several months.

      As well as gouging us, they are also doing the same to farmers and suppliers.

      How many have a big moan after paying at the checkout, but just go to Coles-Worths the following week and every week after?

      • Grok on 25/02/2024 - 10:22
        +3

        Go to a Woolies, Coles or Aldi late at night and you can see them dump huge amounts of their old stock.there is significant waste which you have to factor in. Woolies and Coles have a much bigger range leading to even more wastage.

        I shop mostly at Aldi, significantly cheaper but with a much smaller range. Suits me as I mostly buy basic staples.

        This investigation of supermarkets will lead to higher prices. If you pay farmers more that means higher prices.

        If Woolies and Coles are forced to pay farmers more somehow they will either raise prices or become more like Aldi with a much reduced range.

        Or do both.

    Interesting that water is listed as the main ingredient (some of the meat pies have that too) and listed twice more in the ingredient list for this meat free pie.

    Meat pies have to have minimum 25% meat flesh. Local councils sometimes test purchase bakery meat pies and send them off for analysis to ensure compliance with the the Food Standards Code that stipulates that a meat pie must contain a minimum of 25 per cent of meat flesh. Meat flesh has a broad definition unfortunately…. https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/consumer/our-safe-food-supp…

    Maybe a standard for minimum plant protein mince is needed or else rename this the water pie :-)

    • alidli on 24/02/2024 - 23:21

      It has been a gripe of mine for many years that companies are allowed by law to call products that contain only 10-15% or even less of a certain ingredient by just that ingredient's name, and are allowed to leave the crappy filler ingredients like sugar, salt, soy, etc off the product name.
      You will only find out what's actually in the product if you can be bothered to read the small print.

      Some examples-

      1) They're allowed to label jam by the just the fruit, such as "Raspberry Jam" when in fact the main ingredient is sugar with only around 40% of it being fruit- it should be labelled "Sugar and Raspberry Jam.

      2) "Olive Oil Spread" might contain 20% olive oil and have more vegetable/ canola oil in it, so it should be labelled "Canola & Olive Oil Spread"

      3) "Uncle Toby's Oats" should be labelled "Uncle Toby's Oats with Sugar" as they are 70% oats with the next highest ingredient being sugar.

      4) "Crunchy Nut & Honey Cornflakes" should be re-labelled "Crunchy Nut & Sugar Cornflakes", they are 60% corn, have more sugar than peanuts and just 2% honey.

      5) "Buddee Chocolate Spread" is actually made from chickpeas and sugar with just 6% cocoa powder, therefore it should be labelled as "Buddee Chickpea & Sugar Chocolate Spread".

      6) Pepsi are quick to call their soft drink without sugar "Pepsi Max No Sugar Cola"; they should be forced to name the one with sugar "Pepsi With Sugar Cola"

      I could go on and on, but it is depressing and disappointing that in the main we are getting fatter and more unhealthy by processed "food", while the politicians work on behalf of their real masters and do nothing about the food industry.

            @G-rig: It's just all the woke people push back on reality they don't agree with.

            Not 1 part of both my comments are untrue.. 😅 Even the idea that if they could, the pie companies would just switch all their labels over to meatless or meatfree.. 😅

            Funnily enough, I don't know much about the moon landing. Dad said he stayed up to watch it on Portuguese live TV when he was a kid. This was during a facist Salazar though. I don't even know how he managed to watch it "live" when I'm fairly sure we didn't have that tech back then.. 😅 Also, apparently my year 7 calculator was more powerful than all the computers they had onboard, for the mission.

                I'm more-so disagreeing there's no meat in the meat ones. Because if there wasn't, they'd make a bigger margin labelling all of their range as meatfree.. I'd even argue gristle isn't meat.. so why not label it all as meatfree? 😅

    If you want something similar to a meat pie then these come very close. We always have some in the freezer and the price on special can vary - $6.40 only a few weeks ago, sometimes higher. As far as I know the supplier sets the special price the supermarket can offer.

    If you are after a really really nice meat fee pie then go for the Coles mushroom and lentil 2 pack for $6. The pastry is excellent. About 2 minutes on each side in a microwave and then 5 in an air fryer is how we do them.

    Pie Society are the best imo, especially the Sheppard's pie is the best frozen pie I've ever had (meat or plant based).
    The Coles brand plant based ones are also great.
    Oh and Fry's are also damn good. Just get anything but these, so many better options.

Theres also no shitty gristle/crunchy junk in the meat free options which is awesome for me because that instantly ruins a pie.
