Thank you for the clip and memories, it was only a couple days ago I was thinking about the past and having a Pie Floater. It would be on a cold Saturday night, after midnight, after seeing a live band and half tanked with beer and spirits. Me and My Mates would be there happily eating a pie floater at the pie cart, Thinking life could not get any better. Thank you for the memories.
All I can say as an Adelaidean born and bred is "Bring back our Pie Cart outside the Railway Station" again. It was so great and a comfort food after a night out. The guys in my group of friends used to say it was the best thing after a night of drinking, and they never woke up with a hangover. They.said it was great with a splash of tomato sauce and a splash of white vinegar. I took their word on that. It was yummy just as it was. No sauce or vinegar. 😂😅😊
I used to live on William St, Norwood in the 1980's, just 1 street South of the Parade Pie cart. It was great and like so many things, are sadly missed by me.
You turn the pie upside down, ladle on blue boiler pie soup, chop the pie up with a spoon into bite size pieces. You then put on a bit of tomato sauce, pepper and salt and then vinegar. The vinegar is put on last to wash the sauce and pepper and salt into the cracks between the pieces of floater. Can of cold Coke, Kitchener bun and a bloke’s in heaven. The best pie cart was Cowley’s on The Parade. Next was Cowley’s at the GPO. No self respecting floater aficionado ate the crap Balfours served up at The Railway Station. Some of the pies were so old that there were the occasionally bits of mould.
A mate worked at the Balfour factory and he told me that the pie ingredients was actually soya bean gravy and a tiny bit of mince just enough to call it a meat pie
Yeah when I was 13 years old my dad and I would turn up at the Victoria square pie cart after a visit to the cinema watching a Bruce lee , James Bond or some western movie this was 1975 , great times , slower paced times 🥰🤙😔
@ hi Colin , and also back in the mid 70s in the Adelaide railway station , there was a cafeteria there that sold custard tarts , the best I ever had , they were thick pastry and creamy sweet inside
My first trip to the GPO pie cart was back in the mid 60s my grandfather, Dad, my Uncle and myself after taking a Bedford truck load and a Ford Mainline ute load of poultry to the Show grounds at Wayville from our farm at Chain of Ponds my grandfather insisted going to the pie cart for pie floaters. This happened yearly until he passed in 1968. Probably went a few times into the 70s before coming to Qld in 75. Back in the first decade we were in Adelaide to help run a Nostalgia Drag Series at Adelaide International Raceway and took the youngest daughter who had come with us to work, we had been to Sydney to run one there and continued to Adelaide. She couldn’t believe how many people were lining up at 9.00pm for a pie. She became a instant convert. Next trip to see the parents we were on our own and a couple from the UK had made a special trip to Adelaide after seeing the pie cart on TV in the UK. He asked for vinegar and I said its not fish and chips mate, only to find that it was a long established trend. 😵💫😵💫 The next trip was 2016 for Dad’s funeral and had all the kids there a couple flew over from Perth and the daughter flew down with us, we all rocked up to the GPO only to discover the cart was gone. Very sad indeed. Now I do remember but not exactly when that the State Governor, the Premier of the time and other dignitaries all had a special dinner at the pie cart in celebration of some certain event. If anyone knows what that was please please comment and save my mentality. 😁😁😁
In the 70's I used to go with my Mum to her cleaning job in the evening. It was quite common for us to drop into the Pie Cart at the side of the GPO and grab a floater. I loved them but Mum thought they were horrible. Good times.
What about the one at Norwood, moved on when the cinema complex abused their power? There was also one at Glenelg for a while, but this may have been the Norwood pie cart trying their luck there.
My old mans mate used to work in the one outside the railway station on north terrace. One night he poured a vile of liquid LSD into the pea soup for the pie floaters hahaha
The old man came down from Broken Hill, with a bunch of mates in the 60's and they were quite fond of the pie floater, when they got to the cart, they had been very busy and had run out of pies, so the oldman taught them how to do a saveloy floater,
I remember the late 70s early 80s when we were hanging out in the city on Friday and Saturday nights and eating at the railway station pie cart in the early hours of the morning. There were so many people there and most half cut, I used to get the steak and kidney floater. Adelaide was a great city back in those days
Tastes a lot better than it looks. I miss the pie carts. The offerings today are mass produced, soulless American blandness. People only buy it as they are suckered in by the marketing. Why don't we protect our own heritage?
That "guy" was Johnny Blackfella. He was origionally adopted into a family in Clare SA. He moved to Adelaide in the late '90s and ive lost track of where he is now.
When I was younger we used to go out drinking on Saturday nights. Afterwards we would go to the Norwood pie cart. A floater would settle a queasy stomach instantly. Does anybody know of any hotels or cafes in Adelaide that do pie floaters?
I all so worked at the ovan door pie cart on North Terrace in the late 70s I worked there for 12 months before I tried my first pie floater then I found out what I had missing out off ah memory's
I remember having a few pie floaters in the early 60's, after helping my parents with their cleaning business. I was only about 10 or 11 years old. I was infatuated with the guy serving, his name was Dean, don't think it was the one in this clip, he doesn't look old enough.
I tend to believe the Adelaide city council is responsible because generally they have no idea what they're doing and the biggest story to come out of Adelaide was the clown wars Not the guy with the football lol
That would be 'Harry's-Cafe-de-Wheels', down near the Woollomooloo [spe?] Pub. Favourite stopover of sailors returning to Garden Island Dockyard Naval Base, after a night/morning pub-crawling. You bought one floater to eat, and one to hurl at the dockyard coppers sentinel booth at the gates! 😜
Use to be on franlin st next to the post office...a cowleys pie with peas...i use to buy them when i did night sh8ft at the adevertiser in the 80s about $3 i think...last 1 was next to rail way station
We still have a amazing pie caravan in Lismore, I adore it ❤️ 😍 ♥️ 💖 and have lunch there 😋 every time im in Lismore, and we had many were im from Manchester UK 🇬🇧, granny took me when i was 5 ,had black pudding and hot 🔥 mustard 😋 guy said he will never eat that!! Few minutes later, all gone, super yummy 😂😂😅😅❤❤❤❤😊
Wow I was just thinking about lismore pie cart and if it was there and boom there was your comment .I played a season of baseball there in the late 90s before national league season and man I lived at the pie van and those glass coke bottles out of the ice
The problem is the government honestly does not care about Heritage stuff they only care about the Aborigines stuff and it's really sad I don't care about the Aboriginal stuff we need to see less of that and more Heritage stuff to still be here
Reminds me a bit of Reggie's pea stall in Norwich market which serves bowls of thick pea green soup with as much mint sauce and vinegar as you want. They also sell pies but never thought to drop one into the other! Reggie's pea stall - Norwich Market ua-cam.com/video/k8AqITOF0Bo/v-deo.html
I worked at the North Terrace pie cart for 9 months it was my first job out of school, honestly it was an icon and should never have been removed
I played a lot of blackjack at the casino in the 90's.
Win or lose, I'd always have a pie floater.
It was a ritual.

No pie carts left in SA and it’s an absolute tragedy

Great job with this one, Tim! Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting. Made me nostalgic as anything.

I've heard horror stories about both companies but looking back, it was the 80s&90s, that's part of why gen xers don't give a shit about things 😂
The problem is a pie floater these days would probably cost $25.
I remember getting one of these from the cart in Victoria Square in the late 80's.
Yeah when I was 13 years old my dad and I would turn up at the Victoria square pie cart after a visit to the cinema watching a Bruce lee , James Bond or some western movie this was 1975 , great times , slower paced times 🥰🤙😔
Had a few pie floaters there back in 1986 When I lived in South AUST.

Put a pie cart near the footy oval and heritage list it.. Such big brains on the council.
That's a brilliant idea Mate

I remember the Norwood Pie Cart well. There on the corner of George St and the Parade, in front of the old servo.
Looks like bloody good Tucker
I never knew we had these, crazy!
A bit far away,but you would think the Bakery on Oconnell would have it, even just for the tourists.
vili's late night bakery's still do them I think
Had many a munted pie floater back in the day. Always a highlight after a big night on the piss.
S.A. Government doing what it does best, getting in the way of business... cool video =)
We used to call them a Road Accident, bloody hell I miss them.
There used to be one in the flat at the Victoria park races, always had a pie floater there?
My old mans mate used to work in the one outside the railway station on north terrace. One night he poured a vile of liquid LSD into the pea soup for the pie floaters hahaha

Today I still buy cheap pies and do my own peas and add vinegar 🇦🇺great on a Saturday lunch watching the football 🏉 or the races 🎉
I'm even lazier and use tinned pea or pea&ham soup with my budget pie. Lovely wiht tomato sauce and malt vinegar.
Yes.
2:44 Did Mike throw down the Gauntlet? I've never eaten one of these in my life, I'm afraid.
Don't be , they are great at 1.30 pm after a few drinks .

Worked there back in th mid 70's loved the people .actually took my girlfriend there she passed out first mouthfull to busy laughing to help her😂

My Adelaide friend put a disgusting plate of green and brown in front of me at Vilis. Best thing I’ve ever eaten
the norwood pie cart was great to get some street racing happening
I like them with vinegar. Yum
A brilliant pie, ate lots of the QLD version.👍👍👍👍👍
Cafe de vill,s has a pie floater . Blair Athol, open 25hrs
The same with the Mile end Cafe de vill's
Except they make it with pea and ham soup, which is an outrage.
Use to be on franlin st next to the post office...a cowleys pie with peas...i use to buy them when i did night sh8ft at the adevertiser in the 80s about $3 i think...last 1 was next to rail way station
Harry's Cafe de Wheels. Still going strong - Cowper Wharf Road, Woolloomooloo, Sydney
But not a purveyor of pie floaters
Are u there around in 2024
there aren't anymore i'm afraid
I suppose Dr Wong is a Singaporean or a Malaysian.
We are a democracy and if a vote had been done, would still have some, people love them 😊❤❤❤ 😂 😅 😊
Lismore still has pie cart.
Last in Adelaide 1998 I think, the last pie cart was outside the Casino, loved 😍 it and should be more of them 😄 yummy ❤❤❤❤😂😅😂😅😊
This was made in 2008 so the last pie cart was around in 2008

A halal kebab cart has now replaced it!
