Hi Kiwis in AZ. We look forward to meeting a few more Kiwis in town, and hope you do too. My husband Gerry and I are interested in identifying where the heck we can buy a decent pie or sausage roll in the desert?! Thanks heaps!
George and Dragon has some deent sausage rolls but I can't find a good mince pie to save my life! You can usually get some nice crunch pickled onions too. Let me know if you can find the mince pie....
I heard of a couple of recommended places that sell mince pies, but have not tried them out yet. There was a place called Mojo Pies http://www.mojopies.com/ but they are apparently out of production locally at the moment. There is also a place on the corner of Thomas and Hayden road in Scottsdale AZ that sell mince pies (I forget the name of it). We have some Aussie friends in town who've tried them, said they're kind of pricey, but good :). As for the sausage rolls, I've given up, and now make my own from scratch, starting from a blend of lean ground pork and ground lamb. A lot of work, but worth it!!
