      The important issue for parents is, will there be sausage rolls? Come on Troy, use your contacts to find out what gives!

        Vile-is by name Vile-is by nature. Vilis,the only Pies you can eat with a straw!

        What is wrong with the Melburnian footy staple, the FournTwenty. At least with one of those you know what you are eating.

        I very rarely eat inside the ground. Scared off by the thought of missing 15-20 minutes in queue under the Churchill Stand. At Homebush i go to Maccas beforehand. At the SCG I tend to wait for pizza or a Kings Cross Kebab after the match.

            4&20s don't fall apart on you while eating - besides, as a child I never knew any other kind / brand of pie existed

                Neither does cardboard, cause that's about the taste comparison.

                Vilis are sensational. It's how a pie should taste.

                If you think that 4&20 and Big Ben are the benchmarks then you've been buying too many No-Frills pies for your freezer.

                If you cant down a piping hot Vilis pie in under a minute you are a pussy!

                  I'm not surprised. They're probably fighting a long and nasty legal battle with Bakers Delight over their ads.

                    2. Vilis gourmet beef pie 28.9 per cent meat
                    3. Coles/Farmland 27.5 per cent meat

                    The winners of our taste test were:

                        It is a sad day for football.

                        (Tell your kid that real fans eat pies stella. AFAIC they only things that should be sold at the footy are pies and beer. Oldies can bring their soup in a thermos, Wardy can bring her plonk in a Thomas the Tank Engine drink bottle, and children should be seen and not heard.)

                              That brought a smile, haven't heard that for a long time.

                              Question is are they going to be the square ones. I was brought up on Balfours pies and felt very weird when I first confronted a round 4 & 20.

                              Balfours has changed a bit since they nearly went out of business a few years back, but thought their "footy pies" were OK when we sold out of the club canteen last year.
