I just thought I would start a new (light-hearted) thread to further the UK vs Austrlia pies debate ( here ) to see if there were many good pies on offer in Niseko?

[nuejam]

delicious deserts store nearby maru, in the shizen-kan area...

but maybe my image of pie is desert and not meat, 'specially since I'm a vegan

[2pints,mate]

But what about chicken balti and meat & potato?

[soubriquet]

No chance matey. I'm the closest respondant so far, and the best you'll get is an Oishida Pastie.

You can buy pies at the Australian owned place on the main drag, big white building, the name escapes me ATM.

[thursday]

Australian owned place? You're talking about 95% of the places then.

[spook]

is it the one called aussie house?
and no, i'm not joking. i think snowave own it, or at least they used to

[Go Native]

Snowave never owned but rented space in it. Pretty sure it's owned by Scott from SAS. Wazza made some decent pies but his restaurant won't be opening again. Wazza has been hinting at opening a bakery this winter which hopefully will have pies. You can buy Villi's pies (an Aussie brand) at M-Pocket in Kutchan.

Ahh Villis, from SA!

Soubs, when we going to get the mail order pasties?
Send the PM!

It's a testament to the allure of the humble Aussie pie when it's compatriots cant even go a single week without one.

The pies in Hakuba are better. Much bigger apparently with a lot more meat.

Good grief. It's more an indication of cultural impoverishment

Do they have to import little squeezy packets of tomato sauce, or are they locally sourced?

[Mantas]

I was waiting for that

That's a pity. It was a great place for breakfast and hot chocolates and stuff.

[thursday]

you people don't belive in "when in Rome..." do you?

Stuff your pies, have some sushi and Hokkaido crab and Hokkaido potatoes and miso ramen and Sapporo beer.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

hear hear
although after spending 5 months in niseko i ate 3 hamburgers at the first place i saw in sapporo

[soubriquet]

A brown slurry pie and can of VB is the world's most sophisticated cuisine, thursday. It's what gives Orstrayans the moral authority to criticise the world.

They don't like to take it though

[ausi ski bum]

I never ate a wazza pie prefering the local food, was just answering the question.

I have seen the ones here that have half sauce and half mayo. Not good for a four,n,twenty

You missed a point TJ. Not only bigger and meatier pies, but steeper too
