Four'n Twenty Pies Better Quality at AFL Game

Anyone noticed the Four'n twenty pies are of way higher quality at a actual AFL game?
Wonder where you can buy the good 1's outside a AFL game.

  • I'll bite. How are the ones at 'da fuddi' better?

    • +5

      The cold bits of frozen 'meat' inside give them an element of surprise :D

  • It was real mince no mystery meat or gristle. It had a different pack wrap to a supermarket one. This was at the suns game today on the Goldy.

    • +1

      Are you sure they were not the angus versions that you can buy at supermarkets

      • Yeah maybe you are right. I thought the Angus ones were just the chunky ones tho?

    • That last goal tho. I was at the game too ;)

  • I used to work the Four N Twenty carts and occasionally the food stores at Etihad, they are (at least were in 2011) the same as the regular ones.

      Did you chant " I don't know what you've been told, my pies are hot my drinks are cold" up and down the aisles?

      • "Who ate all the pies? OP! OP! YOU FAT BASTARD!"

  • +3

    Was it the placebo effect of paying more?

      I think you mean confirmation bias which is something which no one can say they're experiencing or not like the placebo effect.

  • It is probably something really obvious like cooked in a steam oven instead of regular oven.

    Who knows…

    I have definitely noticed some small differences, not too noticeable since I don't eat too many meat pies; maybe once or twice a month, at events or when I am in a remote area and takeout is not an option.

    • I can confirm, at least at the G, they’re cooked in a big industrial over.

      Possibly a difference between time/temp cooked at. Or the addition of being kept in a warmer for an indefinite amount of time.

  • at a actual 

    OzBozo pls.

    No. You are just more drunk.

    • +1

      That explains everything.

      When I drink some, crap food tastes better.

      When I drink (a lot) more, the crapper also doesn't smell as bad.

  • Might be the way its cooked?

  • +1

    I think it also might be the "atmosphere". Certainly when we went to the footy, when I was a kid, the food seemed to taste better than the same thing at home. Maybe because you are cold and hyped up.

    • Person walking around selling Pies & drinks: 'Cold Pies, Hot Drinks'! 😂

  • I reckon it's down to the cooking. They do it better than the servo it seems. Some people don't cook it enough. At home I microwave them for 2 mins (to the Horror of my Mrs) and then throw them in the oven at Full Power for 20 mins or so to get them extra flaky.

    • Aldi pies 8 mins from frozen on Micro/Conv 220°

  • Excellent meat pies in the Members bar at the Randwick Racecourse too.

  • Funny you put 4 n 20 & quality in the same sentence! All 'Patties' stuff is garbage, same filling as Party Pies etc!
