Pie Or Die

Yep - beef and ale - didn't even have to think about that one. Flaky pastry lots of gravy melt in the mouth beef no fatty yucky bits Can I ask for mash with it?

I thought pies were for after the meal, not the meal itself... Well, come to think of it, crawfish pies are popular in cajun-land. I'd choose a crawfish pie. For dessert, a blackberry pie, if dessert is allowed.

Damn this thread - I'm meant to be on a diet cos. the zip's stuck on me party dress. * waddles off to look in freezer *

Hairy would do nicely, just as long as it isn't Brazilian.

Chicken and ham. Hmm. I seem to be turning into a traditionalist. If you want to buy my book, visit my blog: http://whatisthisstrangeplace.blogspot.com/

Beef and Ale sounds tempting but if it done to perfection I might have a Steak & Kidney just because it is so rare to get a good one. I love pies and really would settle for anything in pie form, with a bit of runny gravy.

steak and cheddar though just had chicken ham for my tea. Juliet

Like Foster, when I think of 'pie' I think of dessert. The only savoury pies I knew growing up in the States were chicken pot pie, beef pot pie, and turkey pot pie. I would choose (depending on my mood with death impending): a plain and simple cherry pie with a good, flaky buttery crust a sweet potato and praline pecan pie with bourbon whipped cream or a really tart Key Lime pie without the rum in it, with a graham cracker crust. Since I'm gonna die, I'll take a shot of rum alongside the pie, instead. Oh, I wish I had pie right now...we only have pretzels.

You'd have to make it from scratch, I think; I worked in a quasi-Cajun cafe in Seattle and this pie was on the menu. Bloody marvellous concoction, like pumpkin pie, only richer. Mmmm!

I'm partial to a nice 'shepherd' actually (minus his crook, of course). Only trouble is, can be a bit tough sometimes - depending on the age. Young ones are best - much tenderer!

Their crooks tend to hold up to harder use, as well... lol

Cottage pie is altogether crunchier. Wonderful roughage. If you want to buy my book, visit my blog: http://whatisthisstrangeplace.blogspot.com/

Then again - cow pie is supposedly unsurpassed - if a touch horny! (think it used to be a cartoon character called 'Desperate Dan's favourite dish!)

Rokkitnite's scenario is so alarming that I think I'd be reworking my personal theology rather than scoffing. At the moment I'm reading the Gospel According To Slimming World and pies are, like the leaven of old, banished from the house.

I'd request a magic pie that gives the eater an extra 10 years of life or an instant absolution pie with manna and ambrosia filling that cleanses all your sins. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

a steak leek and ale pie please.

Pie ingredients: People I hate layered in thick gravy covered with flaky pastry Method: Slowly cooked (Gas 4) on top oven shelf Eat cold (like revenge!) Well that's what I had last time.

starry gazey pie, because I've never had it and I'd quite like to try it before I die. If, when this happens, I've already eaten starry gazey pie and didn't like it it, then I don't know, maybe banoffi.

alternatively spam and asparagus spam and egg spam and spinach spam and spam spam and pineapple or spam and cider with a spam crust (Monty Python eat yer heart out) jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net
