I would generally go for a mince or steak and gravy pie with lentil or pea and ham soup and possibly a dash of HP sauce. Get out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I used to think Scotland was the home of Pies, but I feel New Zealand blow us out the water. Just look at this steak and cheese effort: They put literally anything you want in a pie too. Pies just seem to be more filling over there.I grab a butter chicken pie every time I go to see the Auckland Blues play. Fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pastry filling numbers that aren’t a pie that deserve a mention are Baynes onion bridies (Baynes is clearly the best bakery on the East Coast btw,) and black pudding sausage rolls from Asher’s in Inverness. As for the definitive pie ranking of the four staples of pies, it’s as below. Steak >>>>>>curry>>>mince>>macaroni I agree with you in principle but what about chicken or vegetable? I'd have macaroni below them personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Bean and potatoe is at the bottom of the list, just below lasagne pie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasty? Different category or part of the pastry family? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom at an absolute push, but we can’t be going about ruining pies with an attempt at nutrition. Come on. There was I time when I would have said the same.........Might just be withdrawal symptoms, they don't do pies or pastry here. They don't even smoke bacon FFS! ETA - Where do you stand on samosa's? Delicious, pastry wrapped and full of vegetables! Edited March 28, 2020 by sjc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom at an absolute push, but we can’t be going about ruining pies with an attempt at nutrition. Come on. When I was about 12, my maw made a roasted vegetable lasagne (Delia Smith's recipe, very decent) and misread the ingredients, so ended up with loads of the veg left over. She made a pie out of it, and it was magnificent, but even she accepted that it should not become a regular feature. 26 years on, we've still never had it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Forgot to mention the Mark's and Spencer's finest steak pies beautifully flavoured with smoked bacon lardons are heavenly. Add the bonus of no one panic buying in mands and no old fogies out these days. These are available and often reduced to clear. Ideal for the freezer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteakForfar Bridie? They have onion through them do they not? Yeah, that could be it... When I spent a year in China the lack of pies was a big issue. They would have shops advertised as ‘bakeries,’ that would sell sandwiches and packaged doughnuts. Disgraceful. You're not wrong there! My mum decided to make homemade steak pie one New Year’s Day. Looked phenomenal, took a bite and she’d put carrots through it. Absolutely no place for that. Sounds like she got mixed up with making cottage pie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't beat a (local) butcher made steak pie imo. As good as that M&S pie sounds, processed pies can't compete with fresh made ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dysartrovers Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Bells pies. Safe to micro even though it says to oven? Prefer a pie in the micro but don't want to kill myself of something stupid while this is going on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
