Quotation for Today, Sunday August 29
Paul Holmes in HoS a few weeks ago on the NZ Pie awards:-
People from Vietnam or Cambodia with small bakeries who get up at two or three in the morning to get their work under way, husband-and-wife teams, people who struggle with English, hard-working people who came here with nothing.
People from entirely different culinary cultures who have learnt to make our pies better than any of their locally born competitors. These people do not sit on their arses on the benefit.
When their names were announced the other night to enormous cheers, the award went officially to the man but in nearly every case the wife walked up to share the trophy.
Adam’s preferred local pie shop is run by a husband and wife team, they have been prizewinners and justifiably so. They are a Kiwi Chinese couple who are unfailingly cheerful and pleasant.
As one commentator ( not Adam) put it:-
Real Meat Pies ; 68 Whites Line East ;Lower Hutt - Best pies in Wellington. Try the award winning Roast Lamb & Mint Sauce
