Nah traditional for me although I am partial to a Tiger from 'Harry's Cafe de Wheels. Harry's has been an iconic part of Sydney for over 80 years. Became a bit of a must visit for celebrities. Lots of pics and autographs framed and hung up around the place. Sinatra, Ali, Prince Harry. Even Colonel Sanders popped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I know a “Floater” is Pi’s in Pea Soup, a speciality of “Big John” The Bangkok Pieman on Tong Lor 20 years ago, but he was from Adelaide, maybe a different style than Sydney.

Mekong Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 “The Green Stuff”. … Wash your mouth out. I’ll have you know Mushy Peas are known as “Manchester Caviar” where I come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Mushy Peas can be bought in cans in the "Foreign" aisle of our supermarket, next to the Wasabi and Cherry Cola... I've always just overcooked, normal frozen peas, using the stone method* whenever I've desired Mushy Peas. *stone method: in which food is boiled in a pot with a stone and when the stone is soft, the food is ready, primarily an English dish.

khunsanuk Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hi, Having quickly looked up a picture of “Maori Boil-Up”, I'm pretty sure I'd prefer the meat pie Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Maori Boil-Up is underrated Originally this was based on the early - Puha and Pakeha. Wherein Puha, is a plant much like Sow Thistle and Pakeha, was the white fella from overseas. Not having pots, to boil in, they were stewed in pieces of broken canoe, affording a trough-like vessel, that would be heated over stones, much like the Hangi method. Of course with the arrival of Pakeha, there were also pots to be had, and the Boil Up has become enshrined in history, though Pork is now used to replace the original meat. Vegetables like potato and pumpkin are now also used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
