Ey up good folks

When you stop and really think about it, pies are blooming glorious are they not?

Pork pies, steak and kidney pies, chicken and mushroom pies……..pies

Anyway: Your favourite type of pie good folks?

Do you make your own? - If so, please feel free to have a humble brag here.

Your favourite type of pastry for pies?

All things pie related in fact; Praise be unto the pie say I!

Frey Bentos mince beef and onion was a guilty pleasure but a steak and ale pie is my favourite, especially Piglets pies served at the Amex Stadium Brighton.

Cornish Pasty a close second if that qualifies.

With all my ramblings about steak, I would expect it to be steak pie. It's up there but alas no my favourite is Chicken and Mushroom with a nice creamy sauce.

I like them deep-filled with a pastry that is not greasy but with a little crunch followed by a melt in the mouth texture.

This, plus shortcrust pastry. None of this airy, puffy nonsense.

Best pie- steak and ale

My late partner and I used to make raised pork pies from scratch. Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall has a recipe in his book "Meat". Hot water crust pastry is a joy. I have a pie dolly somewhere.

That’s the beautiful versatility of pies; they succeed in both savoury and sweet variations.
