Ouyen in Victoria.

The pasties are not what they used to be but passable. The chips and gravy helped me cope with the disapointment
Still a really good bakery.

Was it a proper gravy, or one of the reconstituted vegetable type?

Very average powder and water effort.

Previously was a 9.5/10 place but now 7.5.

Looks like it's changed ownership.

Sauce should be free, or at least one free one per pie/sausage roll.

If you're in Perth's northern suburbs, The Golden Bakery in Frobisher St Osborne Park.
Won heaps of awards,ribbons and trophies, pies are packed.
Soon as you bite in it starts running out everywhere.
All over your chin, fingers onto the paper, something to lick up later.

Listen up, you can't eat a pie without sauce, it's sacrilege.
It's like salt on chips, lemon on fish, sweet chilly on spring rolls, pepper on steak etc.

Sauce just enhances a good pie.

I'm going to stay out of this one but while we're on the subject, is sauce or relish the better choice?

I've also noticed this sausage roll price ramping recently.

I don't mind paying extra for one that's well endowed but won't give those fun sized ones a second look.

Spot on, sauce should be treble.
Anyone who applies sauce to a pie (or SR) near where I can smell it should be forced to leave the premises.

Still stand by the best place for pies or sausage rolls I've found is Fare Enough in Euroa.
This joint is a small deli like shop who do great brekkies with freshly picked vine cherry tomatoes grilled with housemade sourdough lightly toasted in butter to go with scramble eggs and pork belly bacon.

They are not a bakery but beat every other place I've ever eaten a pie. 2nd would be have to the half acre shed Cafe in Howlong NSW.
$8 huge steak (stands at about 4 in tall) pie you need to order before visiting the place.

I’m with RoKWiz on this one.Sauce is used to cover up poor tasting food,whether it be a pie or sausage roll.So called chefs use all sorts of sauce to cover up poor quality steak etc.If food is good quality it doesn’t need any thing to add to the taste

This is becoming like the “time and motion expert’s study of the orchestra”.

I can taste the food and I can taste the sauce/dressing/garnish. There is no conflict and no covering-up.

Striving for sameness, and how it never endures:

If you prefer the taste of tomato sauce over the taste of good food,I guess that is your privilege

Been that way since I was a kid and my parents had to lock away the tomato sauce bottles. True story!
But yeah, please don't get insulted when people ask for tomato sauce.. it's not automatically an indication that they're unhappy with what's on the plate.

Did you sneak a swig of the sauce and then try to make it up with water so your parents didn’t notice?

It’s not strictly a bakery item but I was moderately impressed with the Fry’s vegetarian “sausage rolls” the other week. Have had plenty worse real ones in my meatarian days.

I like party sausage rolls dipped in sauce. I've been buying the Aldi sausage rolls and cutting them into three pieces before baking them to make the cocktail sized product.

I also like partying
