What's your favourite pie?

[Croydon Claret]

My special pie drawer in the freezer. Down to my last 10 Haffners Steak & Kidney

When you live in London you need to plan ahead

[IndigoLake]

A 3 page thread already?! Good effort!

[IndigoLake]

I know a few pie makers up here in Scotland and some of their stuff is incredible.

One of the guys is a chef and he has opened a pie restaurant - going really well.

There seems to be a few of these Gastro Pie Pubs springing up now - we were in one the other day in Newcastle really nice stuff and reasonable

Nice one! I'm making a rare visit to the UK in April which will include Newcastle. Might give this place a visit!

Pork pie with a slice of black pudding on the top!

When I first went to stay with my future in-laws, the future Mr. spades waxed lyrical about his mother's potato pie.
Why don't you Lancastrians call it MEAT and potato pie?

So you married into money, your Maj. Most couldn't afford the meat.

[starting_11]

You should never judge anything until you've tried it.

But for f**ks sake .........





Red wine, a Porter, Stout or even an English ale, but Stella?

Posh ****!

minnie, I thought I was marrying into money but I was conned

[Falcon]

I've just read this thread through and despite me just having eaten my breakfast, it has made me absolutely ravenous for a pie!


Shop-bought, you can't beat Haffners steak and kidney pie
Home-made, you can't beat my missus's cheese, onion and mashed potato pie

IDST

[lakesclaret]

at potato head

[NottsClaret]

Spud pie sandwich, one pie, flattened, on a very large teacake, add ketchup to taste.
Standard scran when I was a skint apprentice.

I'm glad someone else is aware of this culinary delight. Ask for a pie butty in South Yorkshire and they've no idea what you're on about. You'd think they'd be able to work it out from the name.

I'd go for brown sauce on mine.

[minnieclaret]

The functions standard was a big dollop of tatie pie or corned beef hash with separate pie crust and a choice of pickles. HP or Ketchup available. Winter warmer to the tips of your toes.

[vinrogue]

the next one I have.

[Lord Beamish]

Hairy.

[longhair]

Haffners pork and black pudding ,or my mams cheese and onion

[Sutton-Claret]

1. Mannings Cheese and Onion pie followed by a Meat and Onion
2. Hollands Pototo and Meat ont'urf - wouldn't eat one anywhere else mind.
3. Thomas the Baker's Cheese and Onion Pasty (No Mannings in York and I've moved upmarket and onto pasties)

[Woodleyclaret]

Was Holland's steak then some fool
changes the recipe now awful.The bakers across the road from Deadwood make a good alternative

[Siddo]

Best ever pork pies are from Wilsons butchers in Crossgates in Leeds.

Best footy match pie was chicken balti at Huddersfield, but the best pie in the whole wide world is Mrs Siddo's cheese and onion pie , but NOT with potato.

[cutsy123]

American pie 1 and 2

[THEWELLERNUT70]

A home made cheese and onion shortcrust with vintage cheddar and red onion with black pepper

We had pie and peas at my grandad's wake. He'd have not tolerated a faffy buffet haha

[Vintage Claret]

Hafners steak n kidney or potato n meat.

Slightly o/t but I wonder what Judy Garlands' favourite pie was and why she liked to weigh it somewhere over a rainbow.

[Rodleydave]

Corned Beef Hash with a shortcrust pastry lid... and gravy and marrowfat peas

[HatfieldClaret]

In Ripon many years ago, Hamble pie.

Lamb, ham and apple.

effin lovely.

Never had a Haffners pie; must go to Burnley one day....

Now that's just gut porn.

[MrTopTier]

Chicken Balti at the KCOM.
Pork pies from the pork pie shop in Skipton
and for afters Wimberry pies from Mannings.

[Rileybobs]

Best ever pork pies are from Wilsons butchers in Crossgates in Leeds.

I'll second that. The pork and black pudding pies at Wilsons are the dogs gonads.

[ontario claret]

Paul McCartney mentioned butter pies in "Admiral Halsey/Hands Across the Water" on "Ram". "Butter wouldn't melt, so I put it in the pie".

[minnieclaret]

In Ripon many years ago, Hamble pie.
Lamb, ham and apple.

That should be called a Lample pie and it sounds good.

[Garnerssoap]

Never eat one of those Skipton pies warm whilst walking briskly back to the station slightly inebriated. Ruins a good suit

[dougcollins]

Best pies I've bought were in the butchers opposite Skipton Castle, next to the roundabout.

Probably the same as mentioned above.

[CnBtruntru]

My problem all of them

[ShabbaRanks]

The Skipton pork pies referenced above are very likely Stanforths, certainly the one across from the Castle pub on the roundabout is.

You do need to perfect the 'Stanforths shuffle' if you get a warm one as the juices will indeed ruin your clothes. I prefer to nibble a hole in the crust then drain the juices into my gaping maw

I'd recommend Drake and Macefields in Skipton also, local opinion is split between these two and they are fantastic.

My opinion is that Stanforths do the best pork pies but D&M's are better for everything else.

[levraiclaret]

Sugarpie de Santo

[Dressinggown]

Eyed.

[The Enclosure]
