[Closed] Pie Barms

A Wigan Kebab

A southern affectation.

I did wonder wtf?

Pie in Ciabatta down here surely.

I could have guessed what it is, but I refuse to acknowledge such a heinous object.
it's as bad as a "pie" in a dish with only a top crust, which isn't a pie, it's a crime against pie.

southern it certainly aint - our bolton colleagues have raved about it for years. add a slice of cheese for extra oomph

As with most things; don't knock it til you've tried it. The only drawback is that you have to go easy on the gravy

I prefer the Pasty buttie nowadays......not Cornish ones though, that would be daft

last time i ordered pie in a restaurant, I got a stew, with a oblong piece of puff pastry stuck on it. the pastry was blatantly cooked separately to the meat.

I sent it back, saying if i wanted stew with a oblong of puff pastry I would have asked for it, I want a pie.

There's also the 'local' northern delicacy of a 'pudding in a muffin' too :p

But, but...but WHY?

That's more of a stew with a hat on.

hollands steak and kidney pie, on a buttered breadcake is divine.

I'm not opposed to it as a concept, but it seems that - as a rule - they have to be made from the cheapest, shittiest bread and grim, mechanically recovered "meat" pies so for that reason I'm ooot!

Go for a butter pie in a simple (freshly baked, by a baker not some supermarket dross) bun. Lovely.

(You'll probably need a big mug of tea to help wash it down if you're a beginner)

In my previous high carb days I was very partial to an Orkney steak pie in a roll. Delicious.

Hollands steak and kidney pudding on a Gregs bap for me 🙂

If its just for dinner(lunch) then the carb/carb thing seems wrong to me and theres just not enough protein. I.e a pie has enough carb in the pastry. Bit like a chip buttie. That's a wrong'un most of the time too.

The unholy odour that comes out of the Hollands pie factory is what I imagine the apocalypse will smell like. I think it may even have been specifically mentioned in the book of Revelation

Still.... bloody good pies though. And even better on a barm 😀

I feel a culinary tour of the north is in order. A weekend, say Friday eve to Sunday lunch(dinner)time eating only nothern local delicacies. What will be on the menu? A pie barm for Friday tea, natch!...

The nicest butter pies I have ever eaten were from a deli in Congleton. (also home to Congleton Oatcakes)

One Friday, I bought three (to take home) but scoffed them all during the afternoon.

 

@twinklydave - you had probably ridden a gazillion miles for that though

However far it was, it was worth it 🙂

That seems suspiciously far south for a good butter pie, but I may investigate...

Don't talk rubbish, Binners. A pie barm is not a wigan kebab

A Wigan Kebab is three pies on a stick, as shown in the excellent tie badge

A pie barm for Friday tea

God no, friday tea is fish and chips with a slice of gravy.

A pie in a bun?

Feel slightly icky

a slice of gravy

Its not tied to a specific day. Its more activity based. Its a classic post pub snackette. hence the Wigan Kebab title

Just how many Carbs do you Northern Lot eat in one day..

1.4Bn?

😆

So when should this culinary delight be consumed? Lunch(dinner)time? Or is it a more of a breakfast pick-me-up?

Your amateurish meal time wind ups will have no impact on me.

We have to build our stores of fuel up, to survive the winter in short sleeves.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks 😉

On a more serious note, the fact that there can still be such regional variations these modern times should be celebrated. I grew up eating [url= http://www.northampton-news-hp.co.uk/News/Northampton-News/TOP-FIVE-Our-favourite-Northamptonshire-foods-20130826130042.htm ]Ock 'n' Dough[/url], lovely meaty gravyness and soggy/crispy pastry.

If it isn't from the Old Bakehouse in Orrell, it isn't a pie. 🙁
