    The meat pies you enjoyed, which looked scrumptious, are another British tradition that Kiwis and Aussies inherited that, like cricket and rugby, never quite made the translation to Canada. Much to our loss, I'm afraid. The scenery from your ferry ride reminds me a lot of Vancouver Island.

I've had a salmon and cream cheese there, a pork and apple with cracking on top of the crust but last time I went through on the way to Wanaka the queue outside the pie shop was just too long to wait. Then there's the pies in Sheffield (Between Darfield and Springfield west of Christchurch) I'd rate them second best in NZ after Fairlie but I'll admit I hadn't heard of the Blenheim ones...I will try them.

      Not gonna lie, l live in Christchurch and used to do a weekend trip in the campervan just to eat my fill of salmon and bacon pies from the Fairlie bakehouse. Luckily, especially now that fuel has gone up so much, l've found out a cafe in Christchurch stocks them.
