Adelaide "pie floater":

I was a fully informed tourist when I ate mine.  I knew exactly what I
was about to eat, and I was stone cold sober.  It was about 1 am, from
the pie cart outside the main railway station (before the casino moved
in) on North Terrace.

It comes under the same heading as eating chocolate-coated ants (meh),
deep fried crickets (double meh), and other probably-once-in-a-lifetime-
if-heaven-is-merciful taste sensations.


Here are a couple of nostalgic looks at the dying custom:
