Sheee's My Curry Pie.
curried beef pie. so i can understand the connection between the brittish and indian cuisine, what with the rich history of trade between England and India (years of horrible imperealism), but just what is the connection between australia and indian food? And just how did a Curried Beef Pie come to be sold here? I suppose I suppose i should have learned my lesson from the mexican pie, but i've got plog updates to do here. it seems that the australian definition of curry is rather loose. apparently you just take beef stew and add a pinch of curry powder and a spoonfull of brown sugar. I guess you can't blame them, their one major link to india (being English) ended about 200 years ago, and since then I guess they've had to let their indian cuisine evolve on it's own, into what is really just slightly smokey tasting beef stew, with a few extra peas, and occasionally something spicy.
