Pairing Meat Pie correctly — a note on flat white coffee
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Meat Pie. I ordered it with flat white coffee and the subtly sweet with native fruits elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. barramundi in particular became more prominent in a good way.
Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distinct contemporary style. The an outback pub meal is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Meat Pie with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
