I guess Mom can eat the pretzels and popcorn, Kids can load up on Cap'n Crunch and Candy Coated Chocolate Pieces - and they can share the Doritos and Cheetos. Could be eaiser then buying separate bags to please everybody.

Also in snack food news, it's Pringles World Tour time in the Land o' the Rising Sun!


(I'm not sure if German Bacon or Mexican Tacos will be returning with this year's selections.)

And don't forget to check out the new Pizza-La Doritos (also mentioned recently over at mediatinker):

[Red Floyd]

The snack is called Munchies. I think the people who're making this know who they're really selling to.

[GargoyleTS]

Pizza Margarita??? WTFFF? (the extra F's are Flaming Flying)

Pringles can't even get the Pizza by itself right!

Friggin wack-a-doo's.

[Naniwan Kid]

I am trying to figure out which would taste better, a Pizza-La Dorito, or a Dorito Pizza....... neither sound that good.

Oh, you mean pot pies? Had 'em for years. They're in your grocer's freezer. :P

Loooog before the invasion vile cup-ramen, frozen pot pies @4/$1 were the primary food group of bachelors and students. Ahhh, I can still remember the bad old days.

meat pies

I miss the $1 curry pie, but the KareMan at the local combini is a pretty good (though not very filling) substitute.

This is weird:

One dollar pies. One dollar pies.

What sort of name is Georgie Pie for a foot-stomping ass-kicking Japanese power trio anyhow? Once upon a time, Georgie Pie was New Zealand's "homegrown alternative to the global fast food industry giants" serving up one dollar minced meat pies to starving musicians like Masashi Hara, high school dropout and guitar prodigy. The year was 1992, Hara was 17, knocking about New Zealand with nothing but the clothes on his back, a ragged straw cowboy hat and a '62 strat.

One dollar pies. One dollar pies.

Georgie Pie, the restaurant, has been squashed under the greasy clownshoe of McDonald's, but the name lives on in Tokyo's premier electric blues band, a homegrown alternative to fastfood music, still serving up hot and spicy high-energy delicacies.

Yeah babe me too..

Difference between a pot pie and an Aussie Meat pie is that the filling is contained totally within the pastry parcel (ie no pot).

Damn they are good but as I don't have an oven there is no point in ordering a case from home. They need to be heated in an oven to make the pastry all flakey. A microwave just turns them yukky and soggy. (Nothing worse than a soggy bottom )

Damn they are good ...

There is an ancient Australian art of eating a hot meat pie covered in tomato sauce (ketchup) with one hand (while holding a beer with the other) at the cricket, footy or any other large event, without spilling an ounce of meat or letting the sauce spill from the top. Like martial arts, there are levels (belts and dans) awarded to true masters of the art.

... but as I don't have an oven there is no point in ordering a case from home. They need to be heated in an oven to make the pastry all flakey. A microwave just turns them yukky and soggy. (Nothing worse than a soggy bottom )

My tip for non-oven owners, is to nuke them upside down, then return them to right-side-up and stick them under a griller for a few minutes, or just let them stand until the top is no longer soggy.

At certain places in Australia you can now get an oyster pie---steak pie with an oyster inside. The strong oyster flavour permeates through the whole pie-amazing.

Other good flavours are pepper-steak pies, steak and cheese, steak and bacon, steak and potato, steak and egg-with cheese, venison pies, and beef and burgundy pies....

Sauce is optional, especially if the pie is really good. Eg, you would never spoil an oyster pie with sauce-that would be sacrilege.

My buddy at home broke down and bought "Munchies Kid's Mix" and his take was "They are horrible".

Are the Munchies line specifically made for pot smokers. I can see the ad now:

"If you smoke weed, and you got the munchies, then get The Munchies! And for kids that toke, try Munchies Kid's Mix!"

Damn they are good but as I don't have an oven there is no point in ordering a case from home.

I have, do you wanna buy it? Big enough to roast a dwarf chicken. Just think of all the yummy crispy pies....

No bench space... but send the details anyway. Is it a microwave combo or a proper oven?

Proper oven, two elements (one above, one below), similar size to a microwave, happily perched on top of my fridge (who needs benchspace?). 2000yen.

Awful photo in a website under construction (gave up last night after being unable to fit the seriously big curtains into a keitai camera shot).

5% of all FG mediated sales goes towards getting me a gold badge.

Good point GG. All FGs be warned that bi-sexual microwave ovens seldom thermally bake things properly because the safety regs for microwave ovens require the oven is fully vented at all times----meaning the oven vents out most of its heat into the kitchen and the food inside is never properly baked.

I've been using a combo oven for years but it's less than ideal. It's impossible to cook a souffle properly and cooking a turkey must cost me 2,000 yen in electrical costs.

[GomiGirl]

Ah yes, but it looks like Ramchop's oven is just an oven which is fine.

I have no need to cook souflee's but to be able to make my own pizza again would be sensational. The Domino's bills are just way too expensive.

Space is an issue in my little 1LDK as my microwave and toaster oven are perched on top of the fridge. Plus I have now so many shoes and handbags that I need to find a larger apartment to accommodate them all.

Ramchop - just sent you a PM. You live not far from me. I could ride my little mama-chari over on the weekend. Plus the brother is needing some stuff too. His fridge just died recently as did his TV and video. You may be able to rid yourself of the whole lot just from from purchases to the Gomi-family.

So this is for FG children in Japan? Is this so they can still get fat like their buddies back home?

Rob Pongi also has this problem with space. His Prada shoe collection takes up about 1/3 of the kitchen. The props and helmets are stacked ontop of an unused stove up to the ceiling. A clothes rack takes up another 1/3. It's lucky we can make it to the fridge for one more Japanese Beer!


Let's MALTS - drinking each other together...

BEER - DRINKING - ENJOY!!
