Murray Gray, of Mataura Mutton Pies, received highly commended in the gourmet section of the Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards recently. The mutton pie tends to be a topic of discussion — some like them, some do not. The Ensign’s Evelyn Thorn took to the streets to ask a couple of people if they would try one of the award winning pies.

Paige O’Connor, of Gore (left) ... I have tried mutton before but I am not a fan whatsoever. However, I would try it in a pie to see if I would have a different opinion on it.

Megan Tredwell, of Gore (right) ... I have never tried mutton, but I do love pies. I would absolutely give it a go.
