Meat pies!

[Corinthian]

I've been craving for meat pies since gawd knows when. Or meat-filled pastries whatever like them Jamaican patty, or them British meat pies. Mmmmmmmmmm.... There's a coffee shop near home that I think serves some British meat pies - can't wait to get my salary and sample them delectable goodies!

 

Piepiepiepiepiepiepie gimme meat pies! Damn I'm salivating right now just thinking of steak-and-kidney pie. Seeing pie-and-mash on TV along with that green "liquor" makes me want to pack up my bags and go to London stat. Oh hell, screw the bags, where's the nearest container box so I can smuggle meself on a flight to the UK.

 

PIE! I. WANT. PIE. NOW. NOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOW

Would this be AFTER your seeming sugar or caffiene high wears off?

Ot to counteract their effects? :D (sorry, couldn't resist the cheeky comeback)

 

I love meat pies too, with a special liking for Scottish Meat Pies ... and Cornish Pasties!

 

1st Day of Autumn today makes me think about these foods too. Cozy cool/cold day

foods!

Pie floaters from harry's Cafe De Wheels in Wooloomaloo.......

Being the ignorant and bigoted American that I am I have never tried true British meat pies. How does it differ from a shepard's pie? Is the crust actually sweet?

What's a pie floater? It sounds like something you'd look up on Urbandictionary.

Oh God. Someone had to go and do it. I have been in withdrawl for a British beef and onion pie since I left there last year. I became a bit known for my NAAFI break routine. The man that ran the NAAFI wagon in Lulworth knew that I loved beef and onion pies, so if he was running short, he would put one back for me. He usually made several stops on camp before he got to the area I worked at. So, I would go through the line and get up to the van, and he would produce, without me having to ask, my beloved pie. I had to explain this to disgruntled troop leaders on several occasions. They would be fuming because they were just told he was out of beef and onion only to have "staff" walk past with one a moment later. Red tabs are a good thing!

 

The entire instructors room would smell of pies and baps for about an hour after NAAFI break every day. Now, I am starving! I am also a fan of steak and ale pies. The Smuggler's Inn in Osmington does a very nice one if you get to the Weymouth area.

To answer your questions:

 

1. No, the crust isn't sweet. Think Banquet pot pies, but much more delicious!

2. Sheppards pie is sort of like a lamb stew (ground lamb, veggies, gravy) baked in a casserole dish with mashed potatoes on top

3. Cottage pie is the same thing with ground beef

 

Dammit. Now I am really hungy. Missing British food. There were some terrific restaurants in the south. I love a good Sunday roast with Yorkshire puddings, Marmite potatoes, I actually like Haggis (once a year, Burns suppers), I miss the local ales. Badger from Blandford was one of the local brewers that I likes.

Am going back to check out the other recipe videos

 

I would think an oil crust instead?????????????

Dame,

 

They are like a small, round version of the venerable English roasted potatoe, but the potatoe ball are tossed in Marmite. They are like crack. At the Warrant Officer lunches people would fill 3/4 of a plate with them. They are terrific!!!! Mouth watering.....

They actually sound really good!!! They've taken Vegemite off the Safeway shelves here,

but not the Marmite and I used to love the taste of marmite, a bit smeared on fresh

buttered bread/toast My foster family when I was a young teenager, taught me the

tasteyness of marmite ... they were originally from Bristol and I enjoyed some good

old English meals. Still love "bubble and squeak" ... toss in some beef and onions and

put it in a crust and make a Squeaky Beef Meat pie perhaps???????

Uhm... nope.

I just couldn't resist. Upon getting out of the train yesterday, I had one thing in mind: Jamaican patty. So over I went to the stall, following the smell of freshly baked patties. Bought the original recipe - spicy beef. Mmmmmm....

 

The Supreme Court's cafeteria used to sell small empanadas with a variety of filling - chicken, beef, ham-and-cheese. Small (almost bite size - I can pop one whole one in my mouth without suffocating hehe) and thus cheap. The ham-and-cheese empanada was the best in that lot. I called it the fuel-cell empanada because just one for lunch was enough to fuel me until snack time at 4-ish.

 

I didn't know there were cold and hot meat pies. I went to this store catering to expats (usually British because most of the products are UK), and ordered a meat pie (forgot what it was). When served, it was cold. It was delicious though, with some spicy mustard.

 

Salary day today! After visiting some clients tomorrow, methinks I will go to the coffee shop I mentioned earlier and sample their meat pies. I cannot wait!

And you said there was nothing to do.

[Michael Donnelly]

I like pie!

[Corinthian]

Finally. I went to Bag of Beans yesterday after visiting clients. For lunch: shepherd's pie and steak-and-kidney pie, downed with a glass of lemonade. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...!

 

Pie.

What's a pie floater? It sounds like something you'd look up on Urbandictionary.

 

It is, I believe an Adelaide invention. You take a standard australian style meat pie, then lump on mashed potato, and peas in gravy on top.

 

personally I think its a vile corruptio of an otherwise lovely snack, but like that other crime against humanity, vegimite "it's an Australian institution"

No, no, no! The true Pie Floater is a Balfour's Meat Pie, inverted in the bottom of a large, shallow bowl, over which is ladled Blue-boiler Pea Soup, on top of which is splashed some Heinz Tomato Sauce. Best Pie Floaters are or rather were, as it's day is now done apparently, at the Pie Cart on North Terrace outside the Adelaide Railway Station. If one went late enough at night (around midnight usually) one could rub shoulders with most of the Members of Parliament (Parliament House was but two doors up the street) and Premier and Cabinet when the House was finished sitting for the day.

 

This is Pie Floater!
