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 $1.93 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.

Cheaper than the last deal posted

    Meat free pie? So, a pie?

    These pies are pretty good

          I have now sold a new animated series to the MCU entitled HarmBurger. It be similar to Aquateen Hunger Force, but crap.

          I have also sold HarmBugger to a private company. This will not be in cinemas.

          Thank you for the idea @hambuger. You will not be compensated in any way.

      Is it more or less effort than getting the real thing?

      You have to raise a calf, feed it for a couple of years, clean up it's waste(?), give it medicines, then kill it, transport it, process it, mince it, etc.

          When you externalise a whole bunch of those costs (e.g. water, soil degradation, carbon emissions) to society or future societies, then sure, meat comes across as cheaper.

        • kiriakoz on 21/03/2024 - 21:14

      I think almost all store bought meat pies have gristle. Even herbert Adams which I thought were really good.

      Maybe only National Pies don't (fridge, not frozen).

        Tried Aldi pies? Pretty good, havn't had any gristle yet, after eating maybe a couple of dozen.

        • TEER3X on 22/03/2024 - 09:26

          I swear, they are the exact same as Herbert Adams, normally very good. I'm fairly sure it has been discussed on here and it was concluded they are identical.

          • freddofrog42 on 26/03/2024 - 16:51

            @TEER3X: I last checked side by side during Covid - these are the 2 pack Aldi pies for about $5.50 and the contents were identical…

            That said, Herbert Adams are no where near as good as they were before the buyout maybe 5 years ago now? Before then their premium King Island pie etc had 30%+ actual meat. Not anymore. Personal favourite used to the black pepper verion.

            I keep a pack in the freezer but now just make my own - much better. I use diced steak from Costco which is excellent quality and a recipe derived from Nagi of "recipetineats" although sometimes make hot water pastry for the base for extra marks! Wife loves as not filled with "slurry"…

            • Igaf on 26/03/2024 - 17:55

              @freddofrog42: Agree with your HA Beef and Peppercorn comment. 9/10 from me.

              My Aldi has never had the same varieties as HA but they are so similar I'd be pretty confident that's who makes Elmsbury Gourmet pies. I'm not a fan of any of the new Aldi ones - Butter Chicken, Thai Curry (7/10), and their standard EG meat variety is also just okay against HA's King Island or Shiraz beef pies.

              Very rarely buy HA pies now, too exe, but can't say I've noticed any quality diminution when I do.

        • Boioioioi on 22/03/2024 - 09:39

          Which ones?

          I used to love their chunky steak pie - back in the day around 2018 perhaps the best frozen pie I have had. Now its worse than even their regular pie, its almost entirely gristle.

      • maverickjohn on 21/03/2024 - 21:12

      • Loopholio on 22/03/2024 - 01:35

        Herbert Adams stopped making decent pies last year. The last packet I bought were bland. At least the store brand pies taste like something.

        • maverickjohn on 22/03/2024 - 05:53

          That explains it.. I haven't bought one in a couple of years

      • Selenium on 22/03/2024 - 11:48

        Many don't. Even the bog standard servo pie by Coles doesn't. Yet without fail, I've never had a 4n20 one free of gristle.

        I forget what my go-to brand was for home. I think Patties? Never had gristle in them, from what I recall.

        Not hard to avoid eating 4n20, thankfully. Just curious what this would be like. Been a long long time since I suffered through one so I don't remember if the gravy is any good.

    Wasn't there a rule that pies had to be 25% beef meat? Does that include these Meet-free at only 10%.

      Yes a meat pie has to be 25% meat or more.

          These have been around for years.
          I don't know why people are confused, there are no meat in them hence meat-free. They should look at the ingredients, not that hard.

          Ps. Wow lot of comments and triggered people going on about a packet of pies, it's not like they aren't making the meat versions (but it's great having a vegetarian and cruelty-free version, I like them).
