Pies

[Dazzza]

Best pie in the world is the Peel Pie.    Home made in a local family bakery in Peel (nowt to do with the filling) they're fresh meat and potato with hot steaming gravy piped in through a hole in the roof.

Absolutely ledgendry stuff and you can genuinely taste the quality and fresh ingredients.

Sold out by lunch most days.

That's a hole in the roof of the pie presumably Dazzza ?

Unfortunately although I like the idea of a hot gravy shower.

I'm just tucking into a lovely steak pie, my first pie in too long. Funnily enough I'm a real fan of pies but I don't eat them enough anymore.

I also share the view that it's not a proper pie unless it has a lid. A dessert pie without a lid is really a tart.

I'd also like to add that a 'pie' without a pastry wall is also not a real pie.

So in order to be a true Pie Si, you must have both a pastry wall and a lid.

Fantastic play on words. I also concur with that statement.

So if I fill a pie dish with meat and gravy and bake it with a pastry lid, what is it if it isn't a pie?

[Simon Pieman]

A casserole with a lid

Now you're just making it up as you go along

But what about shepherd's/cottage/cumberland pie?  None fit the pastry description yet all traditionally known as pies....

[Simon Pieman]

A 'casserole with a pastry lid' description on a menu would prevent me from ordering a pie, expecting a pie and getting a halfway house pie which is neither a casserole or soup nor a pie.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza - actually its not a pie because it doesn't have a pastry lid. That's amore.

I've never eaten a cobbler, I may have to make one sometime in the near future.
