Here's a pie floater

Very famous Australian haute cuisine along with the "4 and 20" (another meat pie) and the snag ( sausage).

The thing is - the only references I can find to pie floaters now are Australian - but the version I first came across was from NE England, a long time before I ever heard of the Aussie version (or indeed the internet)
The Aussie version uses a standard individual meat pie, but the Tyneside version used dinky little pies that would actually float in soup
The size was relevant as there was a record for eating a number in a short time!

Thank you to you all for your suggestions. In the end I have chosen Tiddy Oggies for my second question. However as our turn to set the questions comes round alarmingly quickly I shall refer back for some of these ideas in the autumn. I'm really grateful.
