TUCK SHOP – NEW YORK CITY
Posted on 22 November 2009
Today I took a purposeful stroll in my neighborhood to the Tuck Shop, a little place in the East Village selling the most delicious Australian pies. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I am quite accustomed to the savory pie culture as I grew up in England. It wasn’t until I moved to the States that I realized that the word “pie” inevitably meant something sugary and sweet. So, needless to say I was excited to find this place so close to my apartment.
Back to the Tuck Shop. I decided to order their vegetable chili pie. It came with a little container of pico de gallo, which I thought was slightly strange as I usually associate this relish with South American/Mexican food. Nevertheless, I came home with my pie, took the advice of the nice gentleman behind the counter (Frasier? I have to ask again when I go back) and dumped the container on top of the pie before devouring it.
The pie was outstanding! The crust was flaky, but not too buttery and rich. The filling was wonderfully tasty, just like a heaping bowl of chili. And the pico de gallo was the absolute perfect accompaniment to the meal! I will definitely be back, especially for $5 to $6 a pop… Check it out!
