Preferred Pies

[Beezerk]

Got to be steak and ale in shortcrust for me, big chunks of soft slow cooked beef in a delicious gravy ?
What’s your preferred pie?

Steak and Ale is a top call but I like a chcken and leek or chicken and mushroom as an alternative.

As long it has meat in it, and more importantly, a top AND a bottom then it is good for me. Nothing worse than ordering a pie in a restaurant and getting some stew with a slice of pastry on top

No side and bottom means it is not a pie. I get very grumpy when I order a pie and get served a stew with a lid.

Correct, that certainly shouldn’t be classified as a pie ?

Heaven is Hollands meat and potato but they are a rare find in the NE. (It's been so many years since I've had one that the quality may have lapsed. I hope not)

Next up is steak and kidney but it has to be the real deal, not cheapo filling.

A proper pie is a fine thing but sadly too many are not up to the task.

Now a good steak and kidney pudding is a thing of beauty but puddings seem to be out of fashion in favour of the more trendy pie

or worse mash potato on top not pastry

 

[fundy]

as for fillings, chicken ham and leek please

steak, onion and ale also fine

Normally the name gives it away if it is coming with mash on top

 

[Rooter]

Mash on top though, what about the traditional Fish pie? Done well with decent fish, its a thing of beauty! But technically is it a pie?

I think for me, it has to be a steak and ale/Guinness type pie, with enough gravy in it to moisten the mash. A pastry pie must be served with mash right?? Or are you neanderthals having them with chips and beans....

Pork Pie

Scotch Pie

Apple Pie

(all meet the mandatory requirement of having pastry on top)

Now working where I do, a Melton Pork pie but no top, blue cheese on top instead, a wonderful lunchtime delight.

Don't get me wrong, pie and mash is the ultimate but sometimes I need that chips and beans thing to satisfy the urge ?
