How do I answer the simple question what is a Four ‘N Twenty Pie?
Well being creative (or foolish) I am going to engage in a little cliché.
If you feel I malign you or your much loved nation, well all I can do is apologise in advance.
When people feel the need for a little snack, or lunch on the run across the world they often fall back on a local tradition.
The French eat croissants.
The English eat egg and chips.
Americans reach for a hot dog.
Aussies when eating on the run traditionally grab a meat pie.
And in Victoria the most favoured brand of meat pie is a Four ‘N Twenty.
Absolutely the most traditional place to eat a pie is while watching Aussie Rules Football at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground).
To complete the wrap up of cliché I include a piccie of a Four N’ Twenty being eaten at the footy.Just to totally change the subject, I thought you might be interested in another reflection I caught on the pond I showed you the other night
Down at the far end was:
(you’ll have to forgive the quality, this is a small section cropped from a much larger photo).Most of the images in this post were from Wikimedia Commons . The Kangaroo reflection is mine.
Next: I answer the question "You want to publish your third book in five years. What about the first?"
