Perfect match

Adelaide, where I grew up, is known as 'the city of churches'. One of the city's hidden secrets is the humble-looking pie cart parked outside the central post office at the railway station. It's an institution for late-night revellers needing something to eat before the sun comes up. Their special 'pie floater' is an upside-down meat pie topped with radioactively bright green mushy peas. It's similar to the better-known English version where the pie is right-side up and the peas are under the pie. The drinks to go with both versions need to be strong enough to cut through the thickest of mushy peas.
