It's in Prospect, SA so probably already off.
There's certainly no prospect of consuming these and living to tell the tale, then.

For 99c who cares
I do. Cheap doesn't always make something a bargain.
For 99c who cares
I'm pretty disappointed, for 99 cents I thought it would have more acidity regulators and emulsifiers.
It's so funny, I purchased Pineapple and Coconut juice and I read the ingredients….. it was roughly: 53% was pear, 2% coconut milk, 10% pineapple and I was like….. WTF!? PEAR!!!???
53% was pear, WTF!? PEAR!!!???
What if it said 53% sugar?
Yeh pear would blend into both flavors and is much cheaper likely lol.
Emulsifiers
Yum.
Possibly lecithin, so about the only decent thing in them…
Emulsifiers (Soy lecithin, 471)
maybe they added parsley right on the end there so it looks like a garnish?
what's the rest of the 64% ?
" It is revealed that pies are actually made from apple cores and old Chinese newspapers, not even properly shredded ones as Homer is able to read an article in one of his pies".
That's a episode about energy bars… Not pie.
Pastry, it's not just the filling you eat.
The rest is made up of the cartilage, skin, ass holes etc
How can something be made out of a hole?
The surrounding parts
Its fractured but whole.
At least it is not a "Sweeney Todd" pie
Steak & Veg Pies
I don't think they're the vegemite ones.
"May include traces of meat"
A bit of woof woof meow.
road kill and lips and a$$holes
No horse? I'm disappointed.
Try German meat pies.
Can I use a knife and fork, cut this into four pieces and eat it without any sauce at all?
No
Damn, I really shouldn't be considering driving from Glenelg to Prospect just for the chance of 99c frozen pies.
That is a really good price though… the struggle is real!
Beware guys. I've eaten more 4andtwenty pies than I can count. I ate these and felt sick. The other 2 are left there about to be thrown out.
They don't have any steak in them and if they do it's probably very bad. :(
I even emailed fourn'twenty but got absolutely no response. Pretty sad given that I buy about a hundred bucks worth of these things a year.
"I ate these and felt sick" - probably many more before you had the same complaint, so the company and the supermarket have decided to get rid of them?
Since patties bought four n twenty their pies have been garbage, much like patties… Go figure.
I used to love sitting down to Four n' twenty pies. Now I kinda just use them as a last resort :(
Let's not all pretend to be offended by the contents of a pie.
You know what's in a pie just like you know what's in a dim-sim, and you're still gonna eat it you fat f—-!
I only eat the outside of the domain, I give the inside to the girl ;) better her then me lol.
What's wrong with a dim sim? According to the pack I have at home, mainly just "meat" (?!) and cabbage..
Nothing - but your use of quotes around "meat" is kinda the point I'm making.
I love animals, but sadly they also taste delicious. If I can't bring myself to be a vegetarian, the least I can do is eat every edible part of an animal so they didn't die in vain :P
Well.. maybe I'm doing the ethical thing then, since the "meat" is probably a bit of everything :D
Mince and cheese ftw
Dinner for the next few weeks sorted. Hopefully my insides don't ossify from the sodium.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Pay by card and save 1c per pack!
Buy 3 of them and pay with cash to save 2c compared to paying with card!
Correct me if I'm wrong, however is it not law that meat pies must contain at least 20%- 25% meat? Also meat is not defined as eye fillet as such but meat, any part of the animal?
Why would anyone put eye fillet in a pie? That's arguably the best and most pricey cut.
They would traditionally use a cut like a round steak ect. I use slow cooked blade when I do mine, cooked till it's falling apart :)
Yeah, 25% meat to call it a meat pie but these aren't called meat pies for a reason.
The Food Standards Code stipulates that a meat pie must contain a minimum of 25 per cent of meat flesh.
According to the Code, meat flesh means:
‘The skeletal muscle of the carcass of any buffalo, camel, cattle, deer, goat, hare, pig, poultry, rabbit or sheep, slaughtered other than in a wild state (i.e. not bush meat), plus any attached animal rind, fat, connective tissue, nerve, blood and blood vessels’.
By the time you include "attached" skin, fat, sinew, blood and blood vessels, that minimum 25% meat doesn't have to contain very much of what most people would consider meat…and these guys can't even manage that.
They also can't have those animals you list if they say beef.
Thanks but I don't think that was ever in question.
Who gives a shit mate?
Why have we arbitrarily decided that those bits you've highlighted are gross and/or offensive?
Does it not taste good? If so, why is it then any different to muscle tissue?
Who gives a shit mate?
I do.

Nothing arbitrary about it champ. The flavour's in the fat and I love a nice marbled steak or some slow cooked pork ribs or belly with fat rendered through but there's a ratio where where it just doesn't taste nice.
Animal rind - Delicious salty and crispy. Not nice stewed in pie filling.
Fat - There's not much flavour without some fat, gotta have a bit in there.
Connective tissue - Delicious when it's been slow cooked and melted into lovely gelatinous goodness. Not so nice when it's ground up and chucked into pie filling.
Nerve, blood and blood vessels - It's just not for me. I'm not squeamish and will eat if it's in my meal but I'd certainly never go out of my way to include it in anything I cook.
Does it not taste good?
No, I don't think so. I stopped eating these nasty mass produced pies about 15 years ago and will happily pay a premium for a decent pie or make my own.
Ingredients, manufacturing, transport and cold storage all add up and these guys want to make a decent profit. Where do you think they're going to easily cut costs!
No one's telling you not to eat these things if you enjoy them…go for it. Some people out there will be under the illusion that meat pies are primarily filled with decent cuts of beef so I've posted the Food Standards Code to give them a better idea of what manufacturers are allowed to include in a meat pie.
What about the poor cows stuck in cages just to provide cheap pies? You should buy free range pies 😀
All the cattle are free range buddy. Cheap pies come from the slaughterhouse floor.
I did, but I had trouble getting them to stay put in the damn freezer.
After all that crap digesting, this wouldn't come out of your rear for a week lol
Use by date?
