This is a famous corn beef and white sauce pie from Ed’s Beach Bakery at Rainbow Beach. So famous, in fact it was recently listed as No. 1 for Top Ten Pies around Australia, by Creek to Coast.
It just happens to be my favourite pie, at our local bakery. I don’t eat a pie very often – when I do have a urge for one, this is where I go!
Here’s comments from other travellers, via our Facebook page. Let us know if you have a favourite, too! We need a few from WA, NT and VIC! Thanks everyone for sharing your favourites.
