In Dundee is it not "sling in an ingin an' aw", if you'll pardon my phonetics.

For those of you south of the Wall it translates as "could you put a pickled onion in with my pie supper please".

I believe the original refers to an onion bridie, i.e two plain bridies and an onion one as well.

as in "gie's a planeane ananinginaneana" (1 plain, 1 onion)

Birdies? I never realised that's where it came from. I was told the phrase by a Dundonian pal. I assumed he was authentic because he was ginger. I shall now have to point out his error to him. (-:

I'm off now to listen to a Michael Marra album.

Our local butchers pie business - taylors pies Darlington do a thing called Burger bake I think they would be illegal outside the North.
Taylors are like Greggs evil twin...

Much as I enjoy a Bains pie it ain't a proper Scotch pie, it's got real meat and gravy in it:-)

Just ordered 24 from Campbell's. If you use promo code NOV20 you get 20% off and free postage. Just need to make some room in the freezer now!

Asked what that is in local bakery down here in s.e. Kent. Scotch pie was answer. Bought. Ate. Didn't like. Pastry encasing some mid-grey lump of something that presumably was once lamb and pepper.

If you're lucky, best not to know what's in them.

Lamb has no place in a scotch pie.
