bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Excellent news. I shall go here: http://www.theravenofbath.co.uk/food.html
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I like Pies What is your favourite type of pie? Where would you go out for a pie? When did you last have a Frey Bentos pie?
Hatch Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 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.

I'll be getting a hairy pie in in preparation i think... Can the suppliers of black pudding scotch eggs be of any use in this week of special pies?
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 I think I went back for a second 3 years later just to make sure. Still taste like dog meat?
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 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... http://www.pieminister.co.uk/ They tipped me off about British Pie Week with some top email permission marketing...like the scotch egg people they are f::cking expensive though so i need to stalk them down in person...
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Still taste like dog meat? Even with a massive hangover (i.e. few working taste buds) it still tasted like complete crap. The Raven is awesome.
fish fingers Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 What is your favourite type of pie? Where would you go out for a pie? When did you last have a Frey Bentos pie? A pie named after the Cuban leader. Brilliant.

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. Edited 27 February, 2009 by bungle

So good independent pub serving good ale and my pie of choice? This i have to try...
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 So good independent pub serving good ale and my pie of choice? This i have to try... I should be living in an area close enough to drive out and get one ot them there pies within a couple of weeks. I will report back on my findings, obviously.
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I should be living in an area close enough to drive out and get one ot them there pies within a couple of weeks. I will report back on my findings, obviously. I presume you will be notifying me of the date and time of your visit.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I presume you will be notifying me of the date and time of your visit. You are more than welcome to sample the delights of pie and beverages with myself.
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 You are more than welcome to sample the delights of pie and beverages with myself. Let us hope your company is up to the standard of the pie and beer.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Let us hope your company is up to the standard of the pie and beer. Perhaps Scudamore could be persuaded to join us in a pie and beer frenzy too?
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Perhaps Scudamore could be persuaded to join us in a pie and beer frenzy too? That would be exciting. I am not sure of his location. I think it may have been Bournemouth at one point. Edit: According to his location it is still Bournemouth.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 That would be exciting. I am not sure of his location. I think it may have been Bournemouth at one point. Edit: According to his location it is still Bournemouth. He mentioned a pie venue, which I assumed to be Bristol. I could well be wrong on that.
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Maybe he will answer. I think the pie venue he was on about was the Raven in Bath, as mentioned by me earlier.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Maybe he will answer. I think the pie venue he was on about was the Raven in Bath, as mentioned by me earlier. Well if he can maike said Raven venue and wishes to eat pie in the company of us, I suggest it be the place.
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 Let them eat pie. I still live in Bournemouth it is true.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Let them eat pie. I still live in Bournemouth it is true. I must say that a real ale and pie frenzy does seem like a good night/day out.
StuRomseySaint Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 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?
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I must say that a real ale and pie frenzy does seem like a good night/day out. It certainly is time well spent, I can assure you of that.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 It certainly is time well spent, I can assure you of that. It sounds it. I for one can think of no better way of passing the time than quoffing ale and eating moist meaty pies.
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 (edited) 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.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 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... I thought that was Chester? I may be wrong. I thought you could shoot a Welsh man within the city walls in darkness.
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I have lived in Bath for 2 years and have not once heard that strange law mentioned, so presume you have it confused.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I have lived in Bath for 2 years and have not once heard that strange law mentioned, so presume you have it confused. Might be worth trying to bring it in though?
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 Yeah i was talking rubbish... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4619942.stm "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"
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Might be worth trying to bring it in though? Not sure. Lots of Welsh people come here to shop for some reason - probably good for the local economy!

It used to bore me a lot but it wasn't conclusive to the marriage breaking down.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 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.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Did she not like pie? The only pie related answer is that she was not keen on a meat filling.
StuRomseySaint Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 Maybe other larger gentlemen got in their before you? No, not according to the sales staff, they were made in XS, S, M and L I normally am a 'L' , but this L was skin tight on me!!! A bloody disgrace!!!!!!
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 No, not according to the sales staff, they were made in XS, S, M and L I normally am a 'L' , but this L was skin tight on me!!! A bloody disgrace!!!!!! Maybe that was all part of the joke though. It adds to the fat image if the clothes are skin tight in all the wrong areas.
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 No, not according to the sales staff, they were made in XS, S, M and L I normally am a 'L' , but this L was skin tight on me!!! A bloody disgrace!!!!!! The youth of today revel in irony... Especially when they haven't a f::cking clue...
StuRomseySaint Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 The youth of today revel in irony... Especially when they haven't a f::cking clue... I bought a t-shirt instead that simply says.... ' I am drunk and you're still ugly ' I am that cool. :cool:
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 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?
Scudamore Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 I bought a t-shirt instead that simply says.... ' I am drunk and you're still ugly ' I am that cool. :cool: Is that irony? Still that is based on a cracking Churchill quote isn't it?
JohnnyFartPants Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 I bought a t-shirt instead that simply says.... ' I am drunk and you're still ugly ' I am that cool. :cool: That's the visit to meet the inlaws sorted then!!
StuRomseySaint Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 HANG ON A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just looked at it again and it actually says.... ' I'm drunk and your still ugly' Shouldn't that be you're and not 'your' ? £12 f*cking quid for a t-shirt with a spelling mistake? FFS
bungle Posted 27 February, 2009 Posted 27 February, 2009 If you wear it to the football tomorrow I will buy you your half time pint.
