This evening I had a pepper steak pie that I bought from On a Roll Bakery. I have described pies from this bakery in the blog before, and this pie was much the same. It is noteworthy that the pie was spicier than you'd think the Australian palate could handle, which I certainly appreciated. I have also expressed in this blog my suspicions that On a Roll are not baking their own pies. Tonight my suspicions were confirmed. After eating the pie, I decided to check out the website written on the pie tin: www.gottalovealorries.com.au. After doing so, I discovered that On a Roll are sourcing their pies, and perhaps even my beloved bacon and cheese sausage rolls from a company called "Lorrie's".
It's not that big a deal because all I'm interested in is taste. But there I was all these however many years thinking that the bakers at On a Roll Baker are a talented lot and admired them for their creative pie menu, when all along these products were in fact the work of Lorrie's. So the moral of the story is your local baker may not in fact be the actual baker of their products, and that if you happen to come across a bakery to which Lorrie's provides their wares, you will probably find good quality pies.
