Food at the footy

wow - sounds like you've eaten everywhere. You getting paid by The Good Food Guide or something? anyway i think i'll stick to my vegemite sandwhiches... cant afford any food at the footy - way overpriced for my limited budget, although if i ever get tempted for something warm I'll be sure to stay clear of those chicken burgers.

I've had one of those chicken burgers (trying to eat healthy!) - I took one bite and started gagging (minds out of the gutter please!!!). It was bloody awful.

I'll have to stick to the pies, I think.

Sorry Junkboy, I don't like sushi (I'm a very fussy eater).

And as for souvlaki - one of the best would have to be from Zorba's, Cnr Bridge Road and Waltham Street in Richmond.

sorry, but for the best souvlakis of all time go to Lambs on Chapel. no one else even comes close.

I've been to Lambs on Bourke...is it owned by the same people? ahhhhh, nothing like a souvlaki after a night on the piss...

back to the topic, as highlighted by my original post, the food at the footy is usually a rip off and isn't much chop. but it wasn't always like this. I remember beautiful, hot shoe string chips at Vic Park which tasted much better than the sterilised versions you get at the 'G or Colonic. also, there's always a sausage sizzle near the ground and you can't complain about a large sausage sanger piled high with onions, cheese, tomato sauce and mustard for about $2.

the old VFA also had pretty good value food. many pleasant sundays were spent at the beach road oval (I was a sandy fan before they became the melb reserves) downing a few tinnies on Can Hill, and munching into some Pattie's Pies, which certainly didn't cost $3.20. nice pasties and hot dogs as well. those were the days (hehe..I sound so old but I'm only 26).

you can get it walking, you can get it talking, you can get it cheering at the footy....matter of fact I've got it now. a hard earned hunger needs a big hot souvie. And the best hot souvie is Vic...Vic souvie.

Footy food is a dead set rip-off:

COLD CHIPS $3.80
BURNT PIES $3.20
FLAT COKE $3.80
SLIMY NOODLES $10
TASTELESS HOT DOGS $4

Bring your own food to the footy, nothing beats a good homemade sandwich and boycott the food outlet nazis who charge exorbitant prices!!!!
