I went into Leeds just now because of this thread, and went into 3 bakers (albeit, 2 of them were Greggs, so only count as 'bakers') and was massively dissapointed! I wanted a meat and potato pie and then an apple pie for pudding but none of them had any pies AT ALL! :evil:

Leeds, you've not only let me down, you've let yourself down.

That would lead to civil war in Wigan.

I think Lancashire should invade Yorkshire for this travesty!

you went to far into Yorkshire. you should have stopped in Huddersfield.

Kaise

All because of this discussion this morning Todays Lunch is sorted!

Going for a Hiedi Pie i think! These are by far the greatest pies i have ever tasted and they do qualify for the Fully Encased Pastry Pie!

All this talk of pies, i might have to go and get a minced beef and onion pie, butter some bread, slap on some red sauce and have a pie sandwich

Pie Floater anyone??

thekickingmule

Wowsers, this is some thread resurecting Nick!

I'm on a "diet" of sorts at the moment, I don't think I should be eating pies......

And I would have said that Huddersfield was too far into Yorkshire to be honest :P (He says, sat in Leeds still)

See, now I think its more like a pasty, with its crimped edge, and two fingers either side of that and a gentle pull apart, it comes apart and hot filling ends up all over your face :shock:

OK so everyone who knows me knows that pie is probably my favouritest of foodstuffs

I love PIE mmmmm, in fact I make sure that I eat it at least once a week. !

So............thought I should share my love of pie ................

Here are my thoughts..........oh and please join the group 'CAMPAIGN FOR REAL PIE' on Facebook

Pie is good, no actually, pie is not good, it is great. Savoury pies in particular, though I do like the odd bit of cherry pie. Anyway, the point of my wasting your time today is the debate about foods which pretend to be pie.

'FAKE PIES' They call themselves pie, but.....


1. Cottage/Shepheards Pie

The above 'Pie' has no pastry, so is this really a pie? I was always brought up to believe that a pie had pastry around filling.


1a. Fish Pie

Again, IT'S POTATO....NOT PASTRY



2. Open Pies

Is a 'pie' which is not entirely covered in pastry even a pie? What is the difference between an open pie and a tart? Personally I believe the tart is calling itself an 'open pie' rather than a tart becasue pies are obvioulsy considerably better than tarts.*

*Excluding bakewell tarts becasue they rock!!!...and they are not pretending to be pie!

3. Banoffee Pie
NOT PIE NOT PIE NOT PIE, I mean, its made out of biscuits!!!!!NOT PIE!!!... I think I have made my point!

3a. Key Lime Pie
As above...it is a tasty dessert....but it is NOT PIE!!!!!

So, although I am somewhat biased in my opinion (NOT PIE), are the above foods are mascquerading as pie?


The Cambridge dictionary defines pie as:

pie: noun [C or U]
a type of food made with meat, vegetables or fruit covered in pastry and baked.

Ha ha, so if this is the case, these are not pie as they are NOT COVERED IN PASTRY!!!!! FAKE PIES!!!!!!

However, this definition in itself raises yet another question. If a pie is something covered in pastry, what about the following baked goods; Should they be pie?

1. Sausage roll
A roll, not a pie, but it is covered in pastry and really tasty and thus, in my opinion, worthy of 'PIE' status. I do admit however, that it is not 100% covered in pastry as the ends are open, however, similarly a steak and ale pie (possibly, if not the most PIE-like of all pies) is often baked in a dish with pastry only on top. This is still a pie so the sausage roll cannot be discounted for this reason.

2. Pasty
Cooper has kindly advised me of the origins of a pasty (thanks Cooper) i.e originally one end was sweeet and one savoury, it was what miners took for their lunches apparently. Anyway, the definition of pasty:

pasty (FOOD)
noun [C]
a small container made of pastry with a savoury filling such as meat, vegetables or cheese

So, if it is covered in pastry, is it not a pie? If not, why not? Is it down to the size...if so, at what point does a pie become a pasty becasue I know for a fact that I have consumed a pasty that has been larger than one of the smaller pies that I have consumed....Answers on a postcard please folks!

Well herein ends my ranting. In conclusion may I say:


MAKE PIE, EAT PIE, LOVE PIE

QFCFT.
