Frequently asked questions about our meat pies.
Jamie: Mate. They are the best! You gotta try them
Jamie: Oh yeah. The Greek is a vegetarian spinach and feta cheese pie.
Jamie: In New Zealand, when we say “pie” we always mean “meat pie.” It’s so rare to have a pie without meat, we would say “sweet pie” if we encountered an apple pie in the wild. When I say “pie” everyone thinks I’m talking about sweet pie, so now I say “meat pie” every time and people seem to understand.
Jamie: We have a whole page all about that. Check it out.
Jamie: Of course, we are a traditional, modern, cutting-edge, old-fashioned company. You can order online at Uproot.
Jamie: It’s all online, just click on the flavour you want to learn about. It’s also on the packaging when you buy a pie. No worries.
Jamie: When it’s time to eat this glorious pie, heat from frozen in an oven preheated to 375°F / 190°C for 40 minutes (baking times may vary). Heat to an internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C.
Be careful, the inside will be hot. Like magma hot.
Jamie: You bet your bottom you can. Some are better cold than others (my favourite to have cold is the Great Scott – delicious!) but all are safe to eat at any temperature.
Jamie: I’d prefer you not to, but if your back is against the wall and all you have is a microwave, I guess it’ll work. It won’t be the best a pie can be, but it’ll be better than no pie!
Jamie: Aw, tu meke! That’s not a question but it’s so nice I don’t even care, thank you so much.
Jamie: Yeah yeah, nah….
Jamie: Yes, check out our limited-edition pies.
Jamie: Umm, sure. They’ll give you energy to get you through your day.
Jamie: Too busy making meat pies.
Jamie: I dunno. All I know is that I grew up with it.
Jamie: Not my cup of tea.
Jamie: I was sick that day.
Jamie: Lots, you should go give them both a visit!
Jamie: A little, Kai Ora means hi! Literally, the translation is closer to wishing the essence of life upon someone, so it has a bit more nuance than an English “hello”—which is what makes Maori so cool! You can learn more at NewZealand.com.
Jamie: Every single one I ever see.
Jamie: Oh, you mean my old mate Tai that gave me a few pointers for my video?
Jamie: Hell yeah, camping/biking trips are the best!
Jamie: I’m pretty good with the old recorder, did you check out my skills in the video?
Jamie: Cricket, Rugby and Ice Hockey.
Jamie: RED!
