Recommended Posts

What is your favourite type of pie?

 

Where would you go out for a pie?

 

When did you last have a Frey Bentos pie?

 

Chicken and veg, white creamy sauce, light pastry. Nothing to fancy for me.

 

The Trooper , WIndsor.

 

Probably when I was a student, so 20 years ago. I think I only ever had one. In fact I'm sure most people only ever have one, why would you have a second.

I think I went back for a second 3 years later just to make sure.

Can the suppliers of black pudding scotch eggs be of any use in this week of special pies?

 

Pieminister are my pie suppliers of choice...although Bungle's shaven raven does interest me...

My word - they have a shop in Bristol. And they are at many markets in Bristol. If only I wasn't really, really lazy I could make the 10 minute trip to Bristol.

 

Edit: I have just looked at their menu, and it is this company that supplies the pies to The Raven. Excellent.

I want to make a complaint about pies, well not pies exactly, but t-shirts which say 'I love pies'

 

I went to buy one of them in Top Man today, just a play old t-shirt which says 'I heart pies' , all the sizes they had were small, extra small, medium and a very small 'large' .

 

Now seeing as it would be us fattys that would want to wear one of them t-shirts, why on earth were there only small sizes?

It might be for responsible pie eaters.

I must say that a real ale and pie frenzy does seem like a good night/day out.

 

Indeed. And isn't there some law about being able to shoot Welsh people with a crossbow after midnight in Bath?

 

Pie > pint > crossbow

 

Poifect...

 

Edit. Just read that other thread and it may be York. Nuts.

"Shoot a Welshman with a crossbow within the city of Chester after sunset - this urban myth may be rooted in a local byelaw but it won't afford you any legal protection"

 

My first wife was from Chester and used to mention it in the pub all the time with her dad. It used to bore me a lot but it wasn't conclusive to the marriage breaking down.

Not sure. Lots of Welsh people come here to shop for some reason - probably good for the local economy!

 

You could perhaps suggest they meet certain criteria when visiting. Perhaps not saying, "isn't it" at the end of every sentence or the other one they come out with which is of course, "There's lovely."

 

My friend is Welsh and he tends to say, "tell your mother" if he hears some great news. He says this is very Welsh but I only have heard him say it.

The pie one would have been better.

 

Also, does that mean you can only reveal the t-shirt when you are drunk. e.g. you go out, you aren't drunk, so you have to cover the t-shirt and then change when you decide you are drunk enough for it to be appropriate?

 

Or am I missing the point?
