    Thought I'd start up a food thread for people to share food related things. I love cooking so will share meals from time to time.

    Tonight I've made a Thai Green Chicken Curry from scratch (no jarred pastes here).

    Photo to come once I dish it up.

    In the meantime here are some ribs I made the other day - 4 hour slow cooked.

    I know jar sauce elitism is pretty strong in some parts but the little Ayam green and red thai curry pastes are wicked. So easy to bang up a Laksa, green or red curry or a satay with them on a weeknight and avoid a lazy takeaway. Marion's cheat Laksa is awesome and easy as hell

    Those Garlo’s pies mate 4.5 star for me much nicer than your Fourn Twenty Mrs Macs and Herbert Adams.

    They use to be better when they just had a store front in Parramatta. They went downhill when they started supplying Coles & Woolies and closed their store fronts as part of the deal. But your right they are better than a 420 well not a 420 but a Four&Twenty pie

    Ah so the taste has changed a bit? I still like them as they are know…….

    I like KFC over McDonald’s KFC nuggets are the best!

    If you are getting ice cream I like the Milo one at Woolies just been reduced from $10 to $7 permanently.

    For Frozen Coke 7 Eleven are best.

    I rarely drink hot drinks like my cousin if I do it’s only hot chocolate I do not like tea or coffee etc…..

    When they started out it was just a little family business with 1 then 2 stores so they were premium, maybe 6 different types of pies and not always the same flavour and a sausage roll and they were probably only making 100 pies a day. If you went to a late lunch tlavours would be sold out and you had to pick from what was left. It's still run by Sean Garlick of Roosters and Rabbits fame but now it's more of a business, cut back on production and ingredient costs to supply the big chains

    First time I had one was probably 10 years ago. I feel like they've changed even since then. Grabbed a 2 pack at Woolies over my preferred Herbert Adams and they were pretty much tasteless.

    Being in WA though never had a chance to try them when they were a small business and probably putting their heart and soul into it still.

    I make killer creamy chicken, leek, and asparagus pies and Beef Burgandy pies at home with our pie maker. Pump out a dozen of each and chuck them in our deep freezer. Then I don't even have to think about substandard frozen supermarket pies.

    I try to avoid processed foods as much as I can as I think they are the most detrimental part of modern diet; I make as many things from scratch as I can to control what I eat.

    Not sure what part of WA you're in, but I miss Pizza Express in Hilton all the time. Their lamb pizza is one of the best I've ever had. I think they have a store in Thornbury, too.

    I'd be more than keen. How many of us are there though? Yourself, myself, and I believe I recall Bethany (but could be wrong on that front)?
