Praise the lord! Its National Pie Week

Just so we all know where we are….

Propieganda innit.

Get Pastry Done

Where do we stand on Scotch Pies vs Mince Rounds?

Having googled both, the scotch pie looks like it would be considerably firmer for standing on.

Scotch pies are brilliant as long as they are filled with something else other than the manky grey mutton-paste that comes as standard.

Steak , Macaroni cheese, Haggis tatties and neeps and, my current favourite, Chicken Chasni are all superior alternative fillings I’ve recently enjoyed.

The Macaroni cheese pie is a thing of joy and wonder. All hail double carbs!

There are no rules to pie week!

In which case all kinds should be celebrated, no? Even controversial stews with lids.

Maybe that should only apply in Scotland with their asshat* pies.

*No(t much) offence intended

With the name National Pie Week surely that implies that other nations have other Pie Weeks? Could Binners achieve some sort of state of meat-and-pastry nirvana by continuously chasing Pie Week around the globe?

Piegrating?

I’m doing my bit by celebrating here in Spain. But the native Spanish pies are a bit crap – thin, very pastry heavy, and usually pretty dry.

Thanks to Binners I’ve had my first pie of the week, nothing special, just Tesco. I’ll try and to better tomorrow.

Do sweet pies count? I quite fancy a cherry pie, made the traditional way with a tin of cherries.
