Re: Cheese and Onion Pie Recipe
I was brought up on my mum's cheese and onion pie and not surprisingly nothing can match it. I think in the 50's/early 60's cheese was more expensive than onions and the cheese was fairly chunky, so plenty of onions and chunky cheese giving a slightly crunchy taste. The pastry was delicious but wasn...

Both. It’s not that simple for Pace I would guess. For me he needs a sabbatical for 3 months. If we stay up under a caretaker manager, don’t laugh but BFS or the like . Then he goes. If we get relegated then he takes the reins, recharged and ready to go again, with fans backing I would suggest. It’...
