National Pie Week - What's your favourite?
So this week has been National Pie Week.
I do love a good pie, especially when eating it in a good country pub.
What is your favourite filling?
Mine has to be Steak and Ale. I like a good crusty pastry with deep filling and plenty of gravy on the top.
Topped off with some vegetables and either mash or chips.
Closely in second place I'd go for a Chicken, Bacon, and Mushroom.
I'm hungry already!

Re: National Pie Week - What's your favourite?
I like a suet pastry on my pies. Too many pubs put some sort of stew into a pot and whack piece of puff pastry on top and call it a pie.
In Winchester we have a restaurant called Piecaramba that sells pies.
For the filling something spicy and meaty does me. Or steak and kidney is nice.

Steak in ale. I make a batch up with long slow cooked beef with onions and mushrooms. Then in oval ceramic dishes to freeze. I top with puff pastry.

In this cold weather a pie ticks all the boxes. Proper good stuff.
Washed down with a nice drink, happy days.

Another popular choice but I have to say I have never liked kidney in a pie.
Can't eat it.

Re: National Pie Week - What's your favourite?
A local pie maker ( the Pie Collective, Otley) make a smashing family sized Beef Bourguigon pie (Ox Cheek and Skirt mixed with plenty of Root veg, Mushrooms, Shallots and Red Wine), and individual sized slow cooked brisket & pancetta in a dark Yorkshire ale gravy pies.
They’re my favourites.

For me it used to be a greasey burger after clubbing all night. A pie would've been awesome!

That sounds so good. I might need to go there one day to get one. Red wine definately needed, both in the pie and in the glass.

As for sweet pies, I do love a Mince Pie, warmed up under the grill with a dash of Jack Daniels on the top. Quality!
