Aussie Meat Pie · Brisbane
The Australian meat pie is a hand-sized pie of minced beef in gravy under shortcrust and puff pastry. Brisbane bakeries serve it for Queensland Rugby League weekends.
The Australian meat pie evolved from English butcher pies brought by 19th-century settlers. By the 1900s the format had settled to a portable pie with minced beef in dark gravy, baked in shortcrust below and puff above. In Brisbane, the meat pie became inseparable from Queensland Rugby League home games at Lang Park (Suncorp Stadium), where vendor pies are still sold by the thousand on match nights. Brisbane bakeries lean towards classic mince variants; modern shops add specialty fillings (beef-and-Guinness, curry, steak-and-mushroom).
