Boomerang Bakery

There isn’t one memory of my childhood life that didn’t include visiting Bexley North Bakery every Sunday morning. Of course the bakery offers the usual goods; crunchy French bread sticks, fresh soft rolls and sweet caramel slice, but it was the meat pies that kept the locals returning. I used to feel that those delicious, crispy meat pies were my reward for my good behaviour in church, but now I realise it was just my mother’s way of feeding the family with decent, delicious food without having to go through the trouble of cooking it herself. For only $ 3.20 each, the bakery offers a wide selection of flavours to suit everyone’s tastebuds. From original beef pies, to mushroom and gravy and the even more exotic curry pies, nothing beats the traditional Shepherd’s pie, a pocket of pastry filled with steaming gravy and beef, topped with a potato lid and baked to crispy perfection.
Maybe I was just a little kid with underdeveloped tastebuds. Maybe I’m just being nostalgic, but either way there isn’t a thing I would give to take those delicious memories away.
