Pedantry

Thus is purw pie prejudice, Boo, free the pies to be what they want to be....

Only approximately 3.14159% of the pies served in pubs and restaurants are real pies.

That's a totally irrational statement.

Well done m'lord.

 

[FlapJacks]

That's a totally irrational statement.

Transcendental even.

I can't get my head around that, could you devise some kind of chart to help visualise it?

 

[spanishman]

I enjoy it when this sort of thing happens on a thread.

I will name and shame the Mother Shipton Inn in Knaresborough who have a pie on the menu but last time I was there it was actually a steamed pudding...

In their defence, it says "Pie of the Day". When you asked what it was, I heard them say, "well today its actually steak & kidney pudding sir".

A stew with a lid is very close to doing down that dangerous road of a hot pot from the dark side.

I have been known to make pies with a shortcrust base/sides (for stability & form) with a puff pastry top.

Only if they are served in round cases surely.

I often have nightmares where Im having a beer in a nice pub that advertises pie of the day, then Darth Vader turns up with a stew with a lid uttering the words "Hotpot Ken?" in Betty Turpin's voice.

I think he may work there.

But it was a lady who served me.

They also have a pork scratching dispenser behind the bar, one of the most unique and disgusting things I’ve seen in a pub.

And............

A pie needs a base. Even with a lid a pie without a base is a liar.

Are you sure?

 

[Brian Marwood]

Are you sure?

Yes, 100%. I have been there three times and each time it was a lady who took our order.
