Australian Meat Pie · Sydney

A hand-held pie of beef in gravy under shortcrust, eaten hot with tomato sauce; the Tiger pie is topped with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy.

Minced beef is the traditional filling, though chunkier diced beef pies are now more popular. Sargents, once New South Wales' leading pie brand, traced its pie making to 1891 and has not been made since 2022; the Four'n Twenty pie was first produced in 1947 in a Bendigo bakery. In Sydney, Harry "Tiger" Edwards opened a caravan cafe near the gates of the Woolloomooloo naval dockyard, and Harry's Cafe de Wheels still serves the Tiger pie, named for him, at its original Woolloomooloo site.
