      Well would you believe it, a meat and potato pie was named winner of the prestigious British Pie Award. Beating. More than 800 pies from 23 categories including 70 from the vegan category.
      Now I am definitely into steak and kidney pies, chicken and mixed vegetables,or a real Cornish meat and teddy pie,or a bacon and leek one too.
      What’s your favorite pies that make your mouth water.

      Ohhh thats a tough choice

      I would have to go with freshly baked lemonn meringue pie,
      Or hot out of the oven cherry pie

      I just realised that uk vs america is two different things, my apologies

      A good steak and brown gravy tin pie with just a nice golden crisp across the top.

        No Apologies Kyra, I hope we have all moved on from the war of independence. Mind you throwing pies at each other would have been a better option.

      Too funny, I was just thinking how quiet the culinary clique had become recently Amanda 😄.   Now there’s cheeseburgers and pie, my oh my!   In the dinner pie catagory theres nothing I love more than a good steak and mushroom pie Amanda, yum yum.  And, back while working all my years in the pubs, I developed a liking for scotch pies and mushy peas – a remarkably satisfying comfort food.

        Hmmm, can we put a cheeseburger in a pie?

          Beth I guess we could wrap it in pastry instead of a bun and call it Cheeseburger Wellington. ( with apologies to the Duke 😁 )

        • #545537

          Hi Beth,

          Cheeseburger pie – sure!  Use ground sirloin and Your favorite cheddar cheese.

          Oh I assumed that ale would be automatically served with that 😂.

    • #545147

      Ah, pies! For fruit, a good old fashioned Washington apple with a slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese. For sweet, French Silk with a drizzle of white chocolate, dark chocolate shavings and a dollop of whipped cream.  For meat, beef and vegetables, comfort food.

      Beth

      Ooo, we forgot a majorly important pie. PIZZA PIE!

      Amanda.

      a good old fashioned Steak and Kidney pie…mash and mushy peas….with Worcester sauce, omg.

      warm Lemon meringue for sweet….is just the best.

      snacks???…Cornish pasty or Melton mowbray pork pie with English mustard….mmmmm

      chef’s tip….like Ms Bass, I love rhubarb pie too….but my recipe said nothing about actually cutting the rhubarb first!!!…..have you ever seen a pie three feet long and four inches wide????. I couldn’t get the damn thing in the oven😂😂😂

        Grace I am surprised you haven’t got an oven that big.
        Melton Mowbray pork pie with an English mustard now that and a bottle of brown ale goes down a treat.
        Have you tried an eggnog pie with a caramel rum sauce? Absolutely delicious.

            Hi Grace,

            Easy on the eggnog, now!  Loads of calories.

      I’m not a big pie eater myself. Perhaps I would be in the UK, since you have all those meat pies. Here in the US, pies are usually sweet, and I’m not a big sweet eater. (I like to say I’m already sweet enough).

      But this time of year, I would be remiss not to mention Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Pudding Pie, both popular fall options when I was a child.

      Hugs,

      I live in Cornwall, so a proper Cornish Pasty (Beef, onion, swede\turnip\rutabaga, seasoning) but I must admit my favourite is a Chicken and Mushroom pot pie with a puff pastry crust. Mash and baked beans.

      Puff pastry crust. Sounds like me. Love a good puff sleeve and a piecrust waist.

        A true home made Cornish dinner plate size pie or pasties, with freshly washed vegetables from the allotment. Mmmmmm reminds me of holidays down on the moors to visit families.

      Pizza. My wife makes a nice cottage pie also. I make a lovely cheesecake. But pizza is the best.

      Remember fleur de lys pies, proper meat, proper gravy and proper pastry. mmmmmm

      They sold the recipe to pukka pies who put the price up and now make them so cheaply they are unrecognisable.

      Steak & ale, yuk. pasties, stodgy lumps of pastry with no filling, slurry & gristle pie. All made on the cheap, cheap, cheap.

      I would drive 100 miles a month to fill my fridge with proper meat pies, proper gravy and proper pastry.

      Any recommendations?

        Hi Sally,

        I’m not saying there aren’t other good brands out there, but I’m partial to Pieminister pies. They used to turn up to music festivals, and unfortunately always had the biggest queues!

        They have a website nowadays and you can order online.

      I grew up in the Chicago area on chicken and turkey pot pies as my mother worked (besides my father) and they were easy to buy, heat up, and serve, and as a kid, I had…not much say, so I ate them. Now I’m in Michigan so any of you from around here know what that means – Pasties! (Meat hand pie).   A few years ago, I used to belong to a civic club where we would have dinners is the local hospital dining room (actually not bad food and we got a deal), except when they’d serve Shepard’s pie. Eh.

      But!!! My spouse makes a really tasty sweet potato pie that for me any way, beats a pumpkin pie in the Autumn, hands down.

       

      PS.  That’s a very SHORT ‘a’ in the Michigan dish, no gutter talk from me!

      I make a sweet potato pie, usually for Thanksgiving, which I had to modify slightly to replace dairy products (butter, milk) with non-dairy products (non-dairy margarine, water).  I use a store bought graham cracker shell.

      But on Passover, I can’t use the graham cracker shell, so I make my own shell ,out of matzoh meal, margarine, and cinnamon.
