Gemmill 34464 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 You can't go wrong with chicken and mushroom, mince or steak. Don't make the mistake of making steak and kidney cos you only lose people that don't like kidney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Cant see a list but a nice mince pie takes some beating. Particularly if you get a really hot one somewhere at a bakery and try eating in out of the foil. You tip it up but all you get is pastry for a few bites as the mince filling puddles at the bottom. As you get half way through each bite is a dangerous manoeuvre. Take too much and the scalding contents go everywhere. each delicate nibble leaves an overflowing volcano of minceness. Yum Yum. Need a cold shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 If its a well made pie with good quality meat and not too fucking hot so you can't eat it, then a mince pie all the way for me. Not a greggs one though, a REAL mince pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3978 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 In terms of meat - rabbit - though I haven't had any for years as my Mam used to make it. If its extended to all types then I'd say blueberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveTheBobby 1 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I know they're far from authentic but there's something to be said for the balti pie. Similarly the scotch pie. Both have to be warm like. If pushed i'd go for a cold slice of good quality steak pie with a 50/50 meat to gravy/onion ratio. A close second would be an honest t goodness home-made shepherd's pie. What was the question again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Many moons ago I used to be a trainee butcher and used to go and collect pies (and cream cakes) from a bakery in Newcastle called gelders. I always used to get a cup of tea with either a freshly baked oval mince pie or a cream cake. The problem was / is, a lot of pie makers use cows heart in their pies which put me off for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveTheBobby 1 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Anyone a 'pieist' from Blyth area? Mate I used to work with used to fetch in these great 'breakfast pies' on a Friday from some baker in Blyth. Were a scotch pie base with a sausage and bacon slice and an egg cracked in so cooked to set it together. Were a magical thing. Sure the bakers folded a couple of years ago sadly ?

If we're talking pies in general, it has to be scotch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously always bad when a business folds but when they go the extra mile doing those little breakfast wonders its all the sadder. Local baker bit further down the coast here - Canatrice - do a belting scotch pie like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 As an aside to this poll I would also add that were someone to make a buttery mashed potato and baked bean pie, this would probably be my favourite. Im now so excited about the above sentence that Im having words with the missus in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 What's your favourite type of pie? I am seemingly unable to start a poll no matter how I try. So just type it in. CT, you're first. Where's the poll like? Greggs mince pies 85-95 were the best pies on earth. Shape, texture, flavour everything. They went a bit ropey, but now they're ok again but too big for one person. Still easily the best pies although chicken balti's are canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Chicken Balti pastie or pie at Wimbledon train station from the pastie place on a cold winter eve wating for the train is about as good as it gets on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
