So many pies, so little time. Odd that tomato sauce is vile with pork pies. But brown sauce is only 1 option. Cheese, piccalilli, pickle (not pork & pickle pies, they are cat yak), or my favourite-another pork pie. Love steak & kidney, and anything with suet pastry crust.
Hate-rhubarb pie. Bleuch.
We could start a list of our favourite pies:-a pie chart.
I'll get my coat....
ketchup is the sauce of the devil and should be banned internationally
Double meat & tater, with a ladle of mushy peas and lashings of gravy. Served in a polystyrene box. If feeling exotic, the alternative garnish to peas and gravy is beetroot and pickled onions. Never been a fan of that, I don't trust anyone who doesn't like peas and gravy
Does a Gregg's cheese and onion slice count as a pie? If so, that's a close second.

That might just be the most profound & insightful thing anyone ever wrote on this Forum.

Perfectly acceptable not to like peas.
However, not to like mushy peas (or pease pudding, for that matter) is a sure reflection on someone's trustworthiness

Both mushy peas & pease pudding have renowned flatulence generating qualities, or so I'm told.

I'm really as short as Bates, it's just that I am hovering above the ground
Every Saturday lunchtime family congregate at my house and want feeding, its usually about 10 but has been known to be more than 20 friends and family. Today the menu was beef stew and dumplings, but by far the most requested lunch is 'Anne's cheese and onion pie' and mushy peas (beans also provided if preferred), made with extra strong cheddar, shortcrust pastry bottom and flaky pastry top mmmmm delish, might have to make that for next week....any one want to call?
Cherry pie lovely but theres nothing wrong with steak and kidney loved all offal when I was a kid wonder I didn't get mad cows disease, hold on a minute Wellington wants another punch up back soon.
Worst is steak and kidney. It simply has a bad taste. Kidney is grim.
Best used to be a minced beef and onion pie but a steak and ale will do fine as well.
Nooooooooooooooooooo.
I might just have had more of these than any living person, at one stage of my life I had one every night for dinner over a 3 year period.
In fact I still have one every year on Christmas Day.
If I'm reincarnated, I want to come back as a Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney pie.
I remember working out in Portugal years ago. I had been there for about 6 months without a proper pie or pasty in sight, when I fell over a little shop that sold Fray Bentos pies, and Vesta curries. I was over the moon.
Alternatively I went to Goa on holiday, some years later, and right at the top of the menu in the first restaurant we walked into, was a pie and chips.

So many good pies out there, after golf in winter not much beats Scotch pie, beans and chips.
