I'll have a looksee at the map, and see if i can work out where the hell it was ;-)

Just looked it up, the small town where the cafe was, is Arapuni.

I looked up the Edmonds cookbook...their recipe has several pieces of bacon, cut into neat pieces, break in 5 to 6 eggs, and grated onion, salt and pepper. I do not like the yokes being left whole...and I have to add a little grated cheese, and a slurp or two of cream...

EeeBees that sounds nice your pastry is easy to make,save on the money ah.

+ one but less than 2 years ago, finally she listened to me on how to get good pork crackling the other day

She's to old for me Rushy if you fish the outlet from the lake in a small boat, it's about 3 metres deep in the middle and curves violently to gods knows what on the edges, you can fish off the dam with a net on a long rope to land them. Heaps of koi carp, you can bow shoot them,

I had just got one of these new fandangled GPS Navman thingymabobs so was keen to give it a whirl, and see what what way it took us. We set it to take some back roads and keep us off the main highways where possible, so we could see some new country, just because we could.

Well bugger me, it took us on a very strange route that seemed to take forever. At one point it took us through this tiny one horse town (didnt even have a pub) but there was a river with a swing bridge overlooking a hydro powder station (I think). Anyway i digress....

This tiny town had a little old cafe (if my memory serves me correctly the building was the original butchers back in the day), anyway i digress again....

We had been driving for what seemed like an age, so we stopped at this cafe to stretch the legs, grab a much needed coffee, and ask someone where the fuck we were! Anyway while in there i spotted these totally unbelievable looking slices of Bacon and Egg pie, i'm quite fond of the old B&E pie, and believe me i have seen nothing like this before!!!

So my mate and I grabbed a piece each to take away with our coffee. Well OMG! this B&E pie was simply incredible, big deep dish pie, it was quite unlike any other B&E pie i had even eaten, it wasnt dry, but quite moist, it had the most incredible flavors happening.

In fact it was so good, my mate and I could stop talking about how great it was, that we took particular interest at what was actually in it, so we could try to get our good wives to replicate it.

As well as whole eggs and streaky bacon, it also included onion, tomato, cheese of some sort, and the super special ingredient that made this B&E pie like no other i had ever had the please of tasting.......it had blobs of basil pesto dribbled through it, simply incredible!

Anyway we finally made it to the Motor racing track, the weekend passed all good and well, but the highlight of the trip was most definitely our chance find of the best bacon and egg pie in the World!!!

We returned home to our families, and told them the story of this wonderful culinary delight we had the good fortune of discovering.

A couple of months later i was about to leave for a red roar trip (drive in camp) so i wanted to have a crack at replicating the Worlds best B&E pie. So I set to it, and with a bit of guidance from the Mrs 30 eggs later we turned out this ........

And if i don't say so myself, it was bloody good!! and the boys all raved about it too, and it got polished off pretty quick

The only small town I know of that has a swing bridge overlooking a power station is Arapuni

I'd agree the Tahuna up here is a cat and dog and some run down buildings, blink and you've missed it
