British Pie Week!

[SiHart]

It's British Pie Week apparently.

So now is the perfect time to ask you what's your favourite kind of pie?

[Si Hunt]

I do like a nice steak pie.

Ironically this will probably a week when I don't cook a pie.

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

I like Steak, Chicken, Steak & Kidney. In fact if it's a meat pie I'll probably eat it.

Chicken would probably be my favourite, so long as it's nice quality chicken pieces.

[Stuart Wallis]

Chicken, probably.

May I be the first person to mention Ian Levine on this thread?

Anyone fancy celebrating this at Sweeney Todd's in Reading this weekend?

A nice steak and ale pie - laaaaaarvely! I might just have one later in the week.

[Darren]

I should make and sell pies. It woild be a good way to earn a crust.

[duncan]

Chicken and Musroom.

I hate Steak and Kidney.

[Nyder]

I hope the dessert pie isn't being ignored! Apple Pie with lashings of hot custard please :-)

Would their pies have... special fillings?

[SiHart]

Very special!

I love a good Chicken pie, Steak and Ale is great too and sweet wise, Apple and Blackberry pie is an all time winner.

There are so many to choose from! There's even the pastry-less Fish Pie, which I've always thought is a bit of an interloper in the Pie world. And what about Shepherd's Pie?

One pie I'm not so fond of is the Pork Pie. It's always nice for the first couple of bites, but then the crumbly pastry, sickly jelly and mashed-up-meat get a bit too much. Maybe if I had it warm that would help, but they're usually stone cold.

[Si Hunt]

I love Pork Pies, but they are extremely naughty.

Si.

[SiHart]

Mini Pork Pies are the best way to have pork pies. There's just enough to remind you why you like them, but not enough to make you hate them.

Now pasties, they never can never be too big. I love a good Cornish pasty- especially the ones in the local pasty shop in the village where my Grandma lives. Those are delish!

[Larry]

steak and kidney pies are mu favorites especially with chips.

[SiHart]

We had these delicious pies tonight...

[Nyder]

Hope you drowned the pie in gravy!

[Si Hunt]

How about a cream pie?

[Andrew Curnow]

Home-made beef pie. It's not difficult to make, it's easy as pi(e)!!

[Dirk Gently]

How about a cream pie?

Now that's an idea.


I love pork pies. Sometimes you can get them with pickle in & sometimes with cheese. All good to me.

A bit of pork filling is indeed naughty, but nice!

[Dave Tudor]

Pork pies are always good, whatever the size.

Hope you drowned the pie in gravy!

Now that's the dilemma I always find, whether to have it with gravy, or with tomato ketchup. Generally, I go for the ketchup, but it depends on the side order - as it happens, I've got a Steak & Hobsons Mild pie in the oven right now, and I'm having it with chips and baked beans (no peas in the house) which means I'm going to have ketchup. I actually would have preferred gravy tonight, but I can't have gravy with baked beans!

Despite it being a stereotypically staple food in Australia, I rarely have pies now. Looking forward to rectifying that in a fortnight though!
