I have lived near (or in) cities with large Afro-Caribbean populations but never had curried goat I need to do something about that
And I've never heard of a floating meat pie. Is it anything like a pirk pie?
Edit: pork pie. I have no idea what pirk is , and frankly I don't want to.

Of course now I must create a Pirk Pie.... unrelated you all are giving me Shepherd's Pie cravings :-)

Curried goat was my favorite food before I quit eating meat.
It is almost worth giving up a six year streak every time my father in law cooks it.

I hate goats, never ate one, milked entirely too many of them, we once sold one to Purina (sadly, entirely too true)

Those lucky dogs.

Traditional Australian meat pie (filling of your choice Beef or Roo or steak & kidney are mine) sit pie in middle of the plate surround with mushy peas and mash pour so much gravy on the pie floats.
I love pork pies, I will add them to a ploughman's lunch if they are available.
"A ploughman's lunch (abbrev. to ploughman's) is an English cold meal which consists of cheese, pickle, and bread.[1] Additional items such as boiled eggs, ham, and pickled onions may be added. As its name suggests, it is more commonly consumed at midday". -wiki.
One of the best things I have ever had is a Vietnamese pasty.... They minced the filling of a banh mi and put in place of a traditional Cornish filling. I ate 3 of them they were so tast.
The floating meat pie sounds good. Alas, roo is kind of hard to get in America so I'm going to have to try the beef.

You can use anything for the filling I have had Tandori and chilli con carne as fillings.
Recipe for the traditional pie
The obligatory question, then: What's "roo" like?
Depends on how you cook it, it has a strong taste, it's lean, and tends to get tough if over cooked. I like it in stir fry, I have had it as a roast and it makes excellent sausages and burgers. If you do a fillet or stake you need to cook it rare. It's expensive at the moment :-(.
Emu isn't anything special. Croc is nice somebody said croc tastes like chicken/fish I disagree, I do like what I have had just need to have more to pin down the taste. Both are expensive as well.

If croc tastes anything like gator (which I imagine it does) it's worth trying at least once.
It's not very expensive here in Florida either (about $8-9 a pound, which is about what you'd pay for some fresh tilapia or catfish or something), though kinda hard to find.

Oh, right - pie & mash, or hot pie and mushy peas (which is what I've just had for tea - it was a steak & ale pie, in case you're wondering). That makes sense!
Also, I intend to make a) a Frito pie and b) a jug of Southern style sweet tea at some point soon, since I believe every man should deliberately look Death in the eye without blinking at least once in his life :P

Southern Style sweet tea, to the uninitiated, is like a kick in the teeth by an awakened bag of sugar at first...but then...you get used to it, and it's so hard to go back to normal. Be careful, my good sir, be careful.
