Australian gourmet dinner
I found this video and felt the need to share it with you.

I think it was meant as a joke, but I'm not so sure now.......

Everything about it is.....horrible. The chef, the method of cooking, the finished product.

Re: Australian gourmet dinner
The pie floater is genuinely an Australian thing, I saw it on a John Torode programme. And I think it was also known in parts of England as I remember referdnces to it in a children’s book
However I didn’t remember Torode’s being quite like that and Wiki confirms that the pie usually floats in pea soup, without mash or gravy

So I think Greg’s student-after-the-pub style of cuisine is meant to be A Joke, though a failure in my view too.
Think how funny it would have been as an early Paul Hogan sketch

Re: Australian gourmet dinner
I discovered the floater a while back, and fancied slumming it, so made it using Tesco's economy range of stuff, including instant mash!
Ties in with Mark's post (No 5), it's not a million miles from pie and mash, minus liquor.

I reckon that´s the Ozzie version of an American TV dinner - or a version of Tesco´s Steak Pie Supper.
Just to calm the waters, Binky.... my Australian mates would rather lose the Ashes than cook a dinner like that.
With social media and freedom to download what ever crap you feel like downloading, things like this happen.
Mate!

Re: Australian gourmet dinner
The pie- floater is a South Australian tradition - there was a pie cart outside Adelaide station for years and it's come back recently, so I've been told.
I think they look disgusting and wouldn't know about the taste - they were something to eat on a Saturday night in town, "they taste better when drunk", and I know some people who did that in their youth! I think it was the only fast food option available very late!!
The video clip must have been a joke - but not a good one I agree. I could only watched a few seconds of it!
Here's a link to an ABC article about the history of pie-floaters, in case anyone is interested!!
