Free pie is best. Followed by reduced pie and the runner up is full price pie.

pie flavour!

whilst bears stand looks fine the pastry looks a little heavy and theres little fat in the meat and no jelly. moisture is the x factor of a proper pie

I consider it my lifes mission to find the very finest pie known to man. A pie fine enough for God himself

In order for me to do this I must try absolutely all of them. Theres a song about it, that raises this very question, as to exactly who it is who is tasked with this noble pastry based quest? I am often serenaded with it. Its nice to have my efforts recognised, to be honest

Hot apple pie with thick custard. I'm not massive on savoury pies, find there's often too much pastry/fat and not enough meat. If I must then it's steak and ale or the humble pork pie.

Steak and ale. A good pub one. Sometimes they're not that good and it is a huge disappointment. (Pork pie is horrid)

Steak and mushroom with short crust pastry... The filling needs to have been slow cooked for a couple of hours first tho....

(Pork pie is horrid)

DezB you can go and sit on the naughty step right now and don't come back till you are aware of the level of wrongness you have just typed 😮

We have a factory in our group based in Gainsborough and one of our friends got us some of these pies delivered
[img] [/img]

it was the only pie we all scored a 10, yes we did have a pork pie tasting spreadsheet 😀

Dezzy Baby definitely needs to be on the naughty step to have a think about what it is he's just said. Pork pies are like norks. Some can indeed be flat, lifeless and uninspiring, some can even contain unnatural, artificial ingredients, but the finest examples are things of majesty that can send the human spirit souring

Hard to top a really good meat and potato pie.
I used to love the Waites Confectioners ones from Hebden and Mytholmroyd when i was younger. Really meaty, good pastry and the potato still had a bite to it. Tasted great hot or cold
I'm salivating thinking about it now

Do they still make them? Are they still as good as ten+ years ago?

Next time I see a nice pair of "norks" I'm just going to be distracted by thoughts of tasty pork pies now.

Do Cornish Pasties count as pie? Pastry all round, with I believe is an important defining feature, despite what that fool stoner may say.

Otherwise: steak pie.

No pics but the pie pie that we made for a mate at uni who lived on Fray Bentos pies. It consisted of a proper pastry outer with several small steak pies in a rich gravy inside the main pie. And PIE in big pastry letters on the top 🙂

Pork pies are like norks.

Both wonderful until you get a mouthful of unexpected hair.

Stoner and DezB:

I baked a Steak, Stilton & Stout pie this weekend which was rather nice, even if I say so myself.

Sorry, no pictures as it didn't survive long enough.

I'm now quite excited as I've just realised its the 3rd Saturday of the month, which means it the Farmers Market in our town and [url] http://orchardpigs.co.uk/index.php/tractor-wheel-pies.html [/url] have a stand 😀
Stilton topped ones being my fave
[img] [/img]
We also have the sister in law staying with her family & they all like beer & pies.
So despite my birthday being yesterday & a bit of a non event I'm declaring Saturday as my birthday, might need to do a long ride on Sunday to burn off the massive calorie intake.

@bearnessecities You have missed off the onion rings soaked in vinegar, although I guess the mint sauce goes some way to providing the acid hit.

I had heard that the nurses in the local clinic were really nice, so thought if I caught something it'd be a great way to get to know them.

The Chicken and Tarragon is epic, the Steak simply outstanding!
Not one single pie from The Ginger Pig has EVER oozed its contents onto the plate - there simply isn't room for anything else in there!
You only have to pick one up to understand just HOW MUCH filling they manage to cram inside the incredible pastry........

Savoury - steak and ale

Sweet - cherry

I could never choose between them though, all pies are great!!

Haggis Pie at the Spylaw Tavern up the road from my house. A proper pie, in proper pastry with proper chips and gravy.

My fave pie is very simple.

Corned beef and potato mushed up in a shortcrust pastry.

Cornish pasties are what I was told, but far from any other Cornish pasty I've seen.

Awesome with bisto gravy though.

😀

I'm very fond of a steak pie from Cottage Pie, Dearham.& their slab.
Higgidy pies used to do a chicken & tarragon pie which was lovely.
They stopped making them though , the swines.
However ,the ultimate pie & greatly missed , is my Nana's apple pie.
🙁

Good shout. Unlike other pies (ignoring Stoner's ridiculous pie-stance) good apple pie [b]has[/b] to be homemade.
