Is O'Connel Bakery still around in North Adelaide? Lived there 11 years ago and I never got a bad coffee or custard donut from them ever - and open 24/7!!!

Malaga Markets Bakery here in Perth is fantastic. A dozen fresh jam donuts for $11, how can you say no??

**X-AHH** · 19-07-2020, 08:27 PM

Gonna have this hot and tasty beverage with copious amounts of buttered crusty bread tomorrow for lunch. Anyone remember this soup?

**X-AHH** · 19-07-2020, 08:48 PM

Another one of my favorites!

Citroënbender · 19-07-2020, 08:53 PM

I remember recipes for oxtail stew, and oxtail in trays, in the butchers’ shops. And tongues! You don’t see that stuff prepacked on the shelves at Colesworths.

Citroënbender · 19-07-2020, 08:55 PM

Can you still get piroshkiy at the undercover markets in central Adelaide?

You also dont hear of people boiling brains to get the weird skin/membrane off before cooking them.

If you haven't tasted oxtail soup, you haven't lived, my son!

Certainly is, that joint is pumping in the early hours of the morning when I've walked by - such a weird concept, a 24 hour bakery

That looks like some weird flat fish

Thought the same but hoped it was some kind of Danish pastry.

Yes, lemon sole with pink icing I ordered.

Not a bakery as such but the scallop pies down at the docks in Hobart are yum, and the vanilla slices and pies at Trappers in Goulburn real good

ford71V8 · 21-07-2020, 04:28 PM

Someone else that says no to sauce, well done Rockwiz
I do not like tomato sauce.
If the pie / pasty / s.roll is a good one, you wont need to smear it in sauce.
If its already covered in it, whats it hiding!?

I don't even like the tiny bit of sauce that's ended up on the paper bag due to the tongs not being cleaned before handling my food.

did some research a few years ago and discovered the average aussie consumes 5.7L tomato sauce a year, based on the amount produced in Australia, now also think that some is also imported so where the hell it goes is frightening. Hate detest the stuff, even home made

As far as I'm concerned, if a pie, pasty, sausage roll or any other delicacy can't hold its own with regard to the flavour, adding sauce of any kind is just living a lie. You can't substitute flavour with sauce.

prydey · 21-07-2020, 07:52 PM

To each their own I say. Sauce, whatever flavour, is just a condiment.

for some baked goods, if they are that good, its almost sacrilege to put sauce on them.

It's just like a good chicken schnitzel. Why does everywhere I go in Victorian insisted on offering chicken parmy only.
A damn waste of a beautifully crispy schnitzel smothered in processed cheese and that horrible sauce making it a soggy mess. Makes you wonder how fresh it is as to what they really lay on top of it.
Another reason to order only steak without the toppings.

Wherever I go and see schnitzel on offer I ask for a plain one, chips and salad with gravy on the side (NOT ON THE CHICKEN, PLEASE) most get it right.

On a side note about tomatoes and sauces. I will buy good tomato relish. There is a great one from New Zealand called 'Barkers" found in most country IGA stores.
Beautiful as a side dressing.

No one has mentioned "Parker Pies" at Rutherglen, very (Bourke st Bakery Sydney) type strong flavours haven't had one in a while considering they're 15km up the road from here.

Each to their own.

I don't have a problem with what others do with their bakery products, as I said, each to their own! Enjoy it the way you want to.

Having said that, some things benefit from a dollop of sauce (because they didn't have much flavour to begin with) and others lose the intended original flavour to a cheap mass produced condiment. Everyone here is entitled to eat whatever they want with sauce or not.

I've offended more than one chef with a request for tomato sauce. Not because there's anything wrong with what they made but because I love tomato sauce. Sorry not sorry!

edit: and if anyone knows the recipe for grill'd tomato relish please let me know!!!

I can relate to telling the truth about food to the people who made it without even trying to upset them, it just seems to happen because everyone is passionate about something that they have worked hard to make whether it's tasty or not.

Citroënbender · 21-07-2020, 08:24 PM

Sauce junkie here, too. It’s got to be good sauce, not “red vinegar”. Just like you want good ingredients in a pie or sausage roll.

Rice and sauce, a bachelor/povo staple! Freshly toasted Turkish bread split and spread generously with unsalted butter and then a dash of tomato sauce; delicious.

Some things, some times, you want the sauce - other times prefer to have it “naked”.

Wearing clothing or not whilst eating, shouldn't influence the flavour.

Citroënbender · 21-07-2020, 08:37 PM

It does, everyone should try it and see!

There's absolutely not ever a substitute for home made cooking, especially pastry products. What you bake at home is your recipe and made with a great deal of care and emotional detail. Hard if not impossible to match that in the real world of mass production.
