Fucking amazing aren't they!!!!!!!  :D  :D  :D

Dunno, I prefer a pastie myself.

Pork pie man, defo.  Nice.  Pasty not so good.

Haven't they got that clear sludge in them though? that puts me off.

Think it's the jelly crap in between pastry and pork in the pie that just gives the pastie the edge for me.  I'd take a pork pie now though in the absence of a pastie.

disgusting!

Yeah not too nice....i'd say pastie.

Chicken and mushroom pie all the way for me!  Think ive got some in my freezer, may have them tonight, im hungry now

Same, i am too... feel like something nice.

yuck mushrooms! hate them! love the spicy chicken ginsters pasties though!

I've made mysely a bacon and turkey, with cranberry sauce in ciabatta sandwich.  It's in my drawer at work waiting for me. 8)

Im gonna go get a bagette im thinking!

damn, I dont have a car, marie can you give me a lift?

hmm i stil have no idea...went shopping yesterday aswell yet none of it is really what i want...

As long as there aint too much jelly, Pork pies are the nuts.

Ashley, its three minutes walk! Stop being so lazy!

Yeah but its uphill, I dont have a coat and I am tired.  Will ring someone else, ones thing for sure im not walking.

I'm a bit limited for choice out here, I am also a bit of a sausage roll fan but the Thai's idea of a sausage roll is literally a sausage in a roll which is not quite the same.

My kingdom for a Devon Savouries (Do they still have them there?)

I had a lovely sauage roll at leicester services late on monday night, was lush!!!!! mmmmm

Steak & Egg is the daddy.  Everywhere in Oz seems to sell an amazing range of home made pies, they love them more than we do.

Can't beat a Pork Pie for a quick snack outa the fridge.  I usually just nuke em in the microwave so any jelly that be there is gone.

Yeah devon savouries still exsist. two in town centre now! ...actually possibly three?

there used to be three or four but yeah its two now

One my market, one by the new game shop (debenhams way) and one at the op by town hall?
The debenhams one might have gone though?

there are two! trust! i think the debenhams one did go. dont remeber seeing it there last time i was in town

The fact that pork pies are quite unhealthy sort of takes the edge off them.  I would probably enjoy eating them a lot more if I knew they weren't so unhealthy

If the sludge wasn't in there it would be more healthy right?

Fact: Things taste better if they are unhealthy. I am not religious, but if I was I'd be god was having a laugh when he 'invented things'.

Consider :

Bacon v Quorn
Fried Onions v Celery (ooh ahh)
Pork Pies v carboard.

The sooner you realise that unhealthy things are just 'better' the sooner food becomes pleasurable.

Of course the slight disadvantage is higher riskk of heart disease and becoming a fat bastard.

Not sure Marie, the 'sludge' is surely just geletine, but without sugar, as far as I'm aware geletine has very little fat, so I'm unsure as to whether it would be unhealthy.  

The pastry will be very fattening, whilst the pork bit will no doubt be made of reconstituted meat and will have all sorts in there - making that unhealthy too.

Brussel Sprouts v Snot.

I know which one I'd rather go for!!!

Bangkok would you like the TEF to send you a porkpie aid parcel? 8)

mmmm.. fried celery. sounds like a worthy experiment

Yeah, maybe it could go in a sandwich with a hot pork loin.

mmm.. sandwiches

How do ya fancy opening up a posh sandwich shop Ben?  We'd make a mint.  We could deliver, I'm sure Sonic would make lots of orders.

My ideal parcel would be:

NEW TOWN SHIRT
Pork pies
Sausage Rolls
PG Tips
Stella Artois (Which cannot be found in thailand)
My mummy
Scotch Eggs
DVD's of british comedy TV!!!!!!!

That's all I can think of for now.

I would too, I hate walking to teh shop although its only been 4 days and I should have another car soon, but id probably still order

Well Mr Bangkok Red, maybe we can have a whip round and get hols of all these and send them out to you.  

Do you imagine your mummy will mind being boxed up?  Of course with her being boxed up with the food stuffs, and beer the chances of getting hungry and/or thirsty quite high would most likely mean that she'd eat the food, and drink the beer.

Depends how much mummy means to you in comparison to pork pie, sausage rolls, scoth eggs and stella.

Good point, I think you'd have ta send my mummy in a different box so she don't eat my pork pies and drink my stella. Although she can wear my town short to keep her warm in the cargo hold.

I heard she likes being tied up instead of being boxed up...... :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 :x I used to like you until that cheap dig!

I haven't eaten anything but cereal this week.

i don't really like pork pies. i mean they're alright but nothing special. pasties are nicer but nothing to get excited about either

We would. Although all the sandwiches I make always end up including bacon, especially at uni as it tends to be the only thing in my fridge.. mm.. bacon rocks. Made myself an awesome bacon and stilton baguette the other day.

That wasn't a dig, it merely implied that you had good taste, but were still a bit nervous when it comes to the kitchen stuff yourself.  

You did say you were crap in the kitchen, and also asked if you could come to mine for dinner.

This way we can do your dinner every day, you'd be a winner.

I thought you were calling me fat.  :mrgreen:

In that case, sure. But you'll need to work on your veggie menu.

I love stilton, it goes well with steak and fried onions in a sandwich. :\/

I'll get to work on the veggie stuff right away my man.

:(  I haven't eaten a good pie in a while. I really want to try an Oz pie, the Aussie guy on my course says they actually pack them with meat over there  :eat:

Apparently over there they all go to a bakers for a pie after the pub, rather than to the nearest kebab house.

Ozzie Kebabs are also a joy to behold.

Similar to our elephants leg in appearence but more meaty, less greasy, wrapped in a flat tortilla and then cooked in a sandwich griddle style contraption.

They actually describe them as quite healthy, don't know about that but they are one of the finest things I have ever tasted and I had a few of these bad boys sober.
