Hillyer's Pies in Lincoln township (circa 1991-1992) was a staple when I was studying down the road at Lincoln Uni. They didn't have wallpaper, their walls were covered in awards. I haven't had anything approaching that quality since.

None of will run. We will raise one eyebrow, exclaim "huh ...", then sit down in front of a laptop, tap a few keys for 30 seconds, then look around for our earphones.

Update: tried these for the first time last night. Probably my least favourite of the new Non-Pineapple Lump varietals, as the grape flavour was surprisingly mild. Like very weak grape Hubba-Bubba. 2 out of 5 stars; would eat if offered one, but wouldn't buy a packet of these over orange/strawb/OG.
