[Closed] Oi! Binners! What have you started...!

Casseroles with pastry lids are legitimate pies.

This xenophobic pie-ism shames the forum. It's always the same angry mob of self-interested, ante-diluvian knuckle-draggers who can't bear the thought that all those meals they've endured, chewing through acres of dry, plasterboard-encased stews has been for nought.

You've lost the battle. You've lost the war. Concede defeat, you will be only a footnote in the culinary history of the nation, outdated and destined for obscurity along with the Babycham advocates and Findus Pancake stalwarts.

Casseroles with pastry lids are legitimate pies.

Finally, a voice of reason in a world of madness.

Welcome to the resistance Comrade Stoner.

....and for the record A good New Year / Funeral Steak pie ( Puff Pastry Lid only) should be accompanied as a minimum with Mashed potatoes, Peas, Butter beans and carrots.

Casseroles with pastry lids are legitimate pies.

*Stands up*

I agree.

*Hides behind Stoner*

Makes note.

Stoner. Three dots and a crossing out.

I carry scars of this fight going back years.

I salute my own indefatigability in the face of the hysterical nazism of the pie-chuckers. Fight on.

Makes note.

*also makes note regarding Harry the Varmint 😉

*adds names to zee list*

Don't tell them your name Stoner

Casseroles with pastry lids are legitimate pies.

It's not often you're right, but you're wrong this time.

Actually... thinking about it.... are you lot southerners?

Asking a southerners opinion on these matters is liking asking an eskimo's opinion on the best sun cream

You lot regard these as pies...

And they have a puff pastry top, which we all know is verbotten in a proper pie. puff pastry indeed? Pfft!

Actually... thinking about it.... are you lot southerners?

I think you'll find that YOU are the southerner in this particular debate. By a good couple of hundred miles. 😀

Good gods man, you're not even [i]English?[/i] Get in the (North) sea and take your deep-fried Mars bars and Irn Bru with you.

Indeed, I am truly blessed. It must be a terrible affliction.

Look! Pastry all the way round and everything. 🙂

To be fair to Mark (Stoner), he's consistent is his defence of the indefensible. Amusing, vaguely logical and as I said consistent. Wrong tho, so very, very wrong....

Binners be careful or you will cause a split in the Varmint ranks, the Pukka may not be the best pie but it has a filling encased with pastry.

For you fools who think a pie is a bowl with a toupee answer this simple question, could you pick your monstrosity up and eat it while walking along?

Oxford dictionary "

A baked dish of fruit, or meat and vegetables, typically with a top and base of pastry

Cambridge dictionary "

pie meaning, definition, what is pie: a type of food made with meat, vegetables, or fruit covered in pastry and baked

Obvs regional variation!!!

could you pick your monstrosity up and eat it while walking along?

A reliable indicator of quality , that!

I expect you think plastic is a delicacy up there 😆

The wife ask my lad what he wanted for his 5th birth meal a few months back.

"Meat pie please Mum" came his immediate reply.

It was truly a tear in the eye proud moment..... 🙂

And it's little times like that, you know you're might actually be doing a decent job as a parent.

I don't know if I dare ask this, but....

.......what about Steak & Kidney [b]Pudding[/b]?

I presume you're talking about babies yeads? A pudding is a thing of exquisite beauty, especially when served with chips peas and gravy, and certainly more qualified to be included in the pie family than anything served in a little dish in Wetherspoons with a token piece of puff pastry on its head

So even though it's a pudding it's a pie?

Glad we've got that one sorted out. 😉

I don't know if I dare ask this, but....

.......what about Steak & Kidney Pudding?

I must be deeply emotional at the moment but this threads making me giggle like a Girl, a Girl in "Selfie upload to BooFace I need a Hug" mode.

So thanks for the gigglefestickle.

😀

Do these count, I so desperately do not want to be jettisoned into space and succumb to the inevitable "splat" as we plop into molten pie filling..

Pies are like pornography - no fixed definition, but you can usually tell.

Hey bikebouy, they look more like flan or tart based products.

Would you like vegetarian or non vegetarian meal on your flight?

It's quite simple:

Pastry lid = Pie

No pastry lid = Not a pie. Could be a tart, flan or a badger, but it's not a pie.

These, are not pies.

In all fairness to T’spoons, they do a very reasonable steak pudding, chips, pies & gravy (in a little jug). All washed down with a pint of bitter for about 60p*. Smashing.

*A blatant lie, but still dirt cheap.

Luke Piewalker's brave struggle against the evil Em-pie-re 🙂

Could be a tart, flan or a badger

Don't mention *badgers. Harry the Spider will want to whack it with a coal shovel.

* ...or enormous hedgehogs.

It was more of a trench warfare type slashing action. Very effective.

Those things up there have 'fillings' that sound like they belong on a panini that you'd buy at a cafe bar in Chorlton, and could in no way be defined as pies. No pie worthy of the name would feature pumpkin seeds

Fidel Gastro?

Slightly off topic... Bimsy, I'll phone the pub right now to order the post BMX pies for next Monday.

Carry on.

Fidel Gastro?

Thanks for that. Is there a term for a keyboard which is full of tea?

Teaboard? 🙂

Although, having said that, it might not actually be tea. You'd need to get it checked and verified by the STW food police.

Milk? Sugar? What sort of receptacle was it in ? Were the leaves hand picked on the north facing slopes above 800 feet elevation by certified virgins ?

Fidel Gastro very good 😆

Phoned the pub and the landlord said without any prompting “Right then, I’ll get the pies in.”

He knows us too well.

Our reputation goes before us. Crisis averted! 😀

*phones pub and instructs landlord to serve pies with pastry lids only* 😈

Vive la Resistance! Mwaaaaahhhaaaahhhaaaa!

Just to go back a few steps, surely 'Cottage', 'Shepherds' and 'Fish' are worthy of [u]honorary[/u] pie status? They have been around as pies for much longer than the casserole with hat phenomenon.
