....Australian food!? Like meat pies for example. Something as small as that is satisfactory enough. I've been having meat pie cravings for awhile now ever since I visited Australia.

(I've never been to Outback Steakhouse and would probably never step one foot in that place ever. I have no interest in American Australian themed restaurants.)

Quite a few places in the Bay Area sell Australia/NZ products and food.

That lists percentage born in Australia, but mostly looks like small towns. Vail, Colorado is the biggest with over 1% Australians while Stanford and San Marino, California are the most "Australian" towns they list over 10,000.

There's this place in NYC (never been, so can't tell you what it's like from personal experience):

^ Crikey Pies? Woah... *looks it up* Apparently, this business is no longer open according to their website. They hit the tough financial time and had no other choice. So, they linked to a site called The Pie Guys. I'm curious what these guys have to offer and see if I can find them in stores. Their pie picture looks pretty yummy.

Ah, not too surprise on that. ^_^ The thing is, my Mom and I brought back a tube of Vegemite to the U.S. We should've tried some before leaving Australia, because..well....yeah. We don't have the right taste buds for Vegemite. I wish my Mom didn't throw it out though. Was thinking of offering it to other people. (And after seeing Andrew Zimmern experiment with Vegemite on his show, I'm kicking myself on the back for not trying that out.)

Yes! Thank you! That's pretty much what I was looking for. $11 meat pie on their menu. Niiice.

And thank you to everyone else who responded! ^_^ Didn't expect that I learn some interesting facts from some of you.

Party pies? I think they are fairly close to the Pasties, very common in Upper Michigan. Pasties, though, are not pie-tin formed, but just laid out flat and baked on a sheet.

lots of places in the bay and L.A sell Aussie/Kiwi food since those countries are closer to our coast

Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly is Australian food distinctive? Outside of vegemite and barbecued shrimp, I'm not aware of any food that really can be called Australian. Unless you're looking for a place that sells something wild like grilled wallaby... Also, I regularly see emu steaks at the local higher end grocery stores here in Houston.
