The Australian Meat Pie is a savory pastry that has earned a place as a cultural icon in Australian cuisine. Typically, it consists of flaky, golden puff pastry filled with seasoned minced or diced meat, often beef or lamb, combined with rich gravy. Variations may include onions, mushrooms, or cheese for added flavor. This handheld pie is traditionally enjoyed as a snack, lunch, or at sporting events. While the meat pie is a source of protein and iron, it is also high in saturated fats due to the buttery pastry and fatty cuts of meat. It can be calorie-dense and often contains significant levels of sodium. Choosing leaner meat fillings or smaller portions can provide a healthier option. Despite its indulgent qualities, the Australian Meat Pie remains a beloved comfort food and a staple of casual dining in Australia.
