    Pies

    Now i as a proper notherner i like pies, problem is my dad has a habbit of buying them "fresh" from Morrisons or Tesco where they have a little pie stand and most are foul, Are there any good "brand" pies?
    And as a further question are Fray Bentos pies really pies?

    Permanently confused

    Re: Pies

    Too much pastry not enough filling.

    Re: Pies

    Nah. Brand pies are like Brand women. All fatty and no-one wants to eat them unless they've drunk far too much.

    But "Oop North" there are bakers who produce the gods of pies. Why on earth buy one from Morrisons when you could get one from Trisha Dixon's dad?

    Re: Pies

    Yes Pieminister are great

    Pure Pie seen at Paddington and London Bridge train stations. £4 hot but can also ask for frozen at £2.50. Steak, ale & horseradish is my fav.

    Square Pie

    Some Sainsbury's have a brand called "Higgledey Pie" and they are easily the best brand pie I've had in the UK. They have three flavours:
    Steak, ale (best)
    Feta & spinach (great for a pie with no meat)
    Lamb & something

    There's a couple of pie type stalls in Borough Market

    Last but not least, the famous Top UK Pubs - Sweeney & Todd, Reading

    Re: Pies

    I love Pieminister pies, I was so happy when they opened a branch in Oxford but there's something about their gravy that I really don't like much.
