This week I had my first ever pie floater. I have lived in South Australia for almost six years and only this week, on a whim, when I went for lunch to Cafe Villis, I was able to sample this gourmet delight.
A pie floater, a South Australian delicacy consists of a traditional Australian meat pie covered with tomato sauce and inverted in a plate of thick green pea soup. It was recognised as a South Australian Heritage Item by the National Trust of Australia.
As you can see, mine had a lot of soup. Delicious.
Speaking of Australian Cultural Icons, the latest Carnival of Australia is published here. Or you could take the slow path by scrolling down.
Enjoy.

Interesting, I have never tried one of them. Not sure I really want to, though... Maybe if I make to South Australia one day I will give it a try.
I remember as a kid my mother would take me into Sydney downtown shopping and we would have lunch at David Jones and we would have a meat pie with gravy and green peas. I thought it was great but I loved Vegemite too at that time and I can't stand the stuff now.
I really liked the soup. Stick to your ribs sort of stuff. The lady who served me, no spring chicken assured me that she had never had and never would eat a pie floater.
I always wanted to try one, but now I am gluten-intolerant, I cannot!
It's a bit of a worry that the server wouldn't even eat one, eh? OY!
It looks ... revolting! But I bet it smelled and tasted good.
I used to think they were bad bad bad until we had a fit of madness at work one day (many years ago) and had pie floater day.
We made the pea soup, bought a bunch of pies, and had floaters all round for lunch.
You only need one, they are very filling. They look bad, but actually, they are not bad at all!
I enjoy, result іn I found just what Ι uѕeԁ tο be taking a look for.
You have ended my 4 day lеngthy hunt! Goԁ Bless you man.
Have a grеat day. Bye

of questions foг you if you don't mind. Could it be just me or do some of these responses appear like they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on other online sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your social networking sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
