For some reason, Katy Perry is obsessed with the Australian meat pie — the country's tasty (and occasionally gross) national dish.

To those who don't know, a meat pie is a crust filled with a (usually) piping hot concoction of beef and gravy, often enjoyed with tomato sauce a.k.a. ketchup. They're a delicious, calorific treat Australians enjoy at the football, or as a last resort from a service station after a night of drinking.

And Perry wants to eat as many as she can while in Australia, where she came to announce an upcoming tour in the country.

"It's my personal AUS goal," she tweeted on Friday.

That's despite warnings from Iggy Azalea about the danger of meat pies.

Perry didn't care about those calories. She wanted a damn meat pie: "I just asked for meat pies and I got this," she said in an Instagram story.

And Lo and behold, Perry got herself a meat pie.

But the eating of said meat pie with a spoon became something of contention (you're generally meant to eat them with your hands, even if it is really messy.)

Still, regardless of how you eat it, mission accomplished Katy Perry!
