What are Patties Pies?
Patties Pies are small, savory pies filled with meat, usually beef, and a rich gravy. They are often eaten hot, sometimes with tomato sauce on top. They are a classic Australian food, often found at sporting events, school canteens, and family gatherings.
The Story Behind Patties
The story of Patties Pies began in 1966. Peter and Annie Rijs, who had moved to Australia from the Netherlands, bought a small bakery in Lakes Entrance. They worked hard, baking fresh bread and pastries every day. Soon, their meat pies became very popular with the local community. People loved the delicious taste and quality of their pies.
Where are Patties Pies Made?
As their pies became more famous, Peter and Annie needed a bigger place to make them. Today, most Patties Pies are made at a large factory in Bairnsdale, Victoria. This factory produces millions of pies every year! They make different kinds of pies, including the classic meat pie, and also other products like "Party 30 Pack" and "Patties Pie Bites," which are perfect for sharing at parties.
