Our steak pies are usually very good, though they tend to hold a terrifying heat for an inordinate amount of time. I usually buy one at kick off so that It's safe to eat by halftime.

Just as well you didn't drop the pie. Those shoes look aufy clean and white. Good work.

Why did you need to quote the whole thing?

Great again, Gus, although the Dumbarton pies are usually a lot better than what you said. Roasting though.

It just made me all the more determined to not scud them with pie fallout.

Easy on the mahoosive post quote as well.

The heat of pie's at the football seems to be a common theme, I've very rarely had one that's at the right heat to make me feel secure about my guts in the morning without burning the lining off my throat.

It seems the hotdog was a leftover from last week.

I thunk that sauce station should be mandatory at all sporting venues

[WendyWho?]

I too was seduced by the Sauce Station at Dumbarton. Alas, it was a short-lived infatuation. When I went to add the standard dollop of tomato ketchup to the top of my - excellent - scotch pie I massively over-estimated the condiment dispensing pressure at my disposal and ended up coating the Station itself in sauce.

Embarassed by the experience, and disappointed in the Station I had so nearly fallen in love with, I went for a second attempt and was disappointed to find the correct amount of sauce could only be obtained following a good 9 or 10 pumps instead of the standard 2 or 3.

The Sauce Station - shite.

I've gone full circle on my sauce application preferences of late.

I used to always prefer blootering the vinegar diluted stuff out of a large squeezy reserviour but now prefer the small sachets you get. It's often the superior branded stuff and the individual foil serving pouch means you know it's not been tampered with.

You can dish it out with some degree of ease compared to trying to pump it out of a large vat or squeeze it out of a greasy spoon cafe style bottle.

[pub car king]

the diluted sauce should only be used on chip shop purchases (see the sauce thread )for a pie i find daddies or hp equivelent is what is needed.

A common lament?

[cheesy]

In all seriousness though, the review you gave of the pie was an excellent one. If I ever go to an away game against Arbroath, I will take note of this and avoid eating a pie: opting for something that has more potential.

[CALDERON]

Ah, the Pittodrie Pie beckons.

Candlewax in pastry. Mmmmmmm

[MTJ]

Somehow our catering has gotten worse, its a new mob doing it. The two times I got a steak pie the arse fell out of it. We don't do hot dogs or nachos anymore either. Just pies in terms of hot food.

Lest we forget the used foil pouch makes a handy sauce spreader to ensure the entire top-crust of the pie gets a light-covering of the acid-stuff!!

Or is it just me that does that??

[NewBornBairn]

It's about time more grounds cut out the fripperies. Sick to death of standing in a queue 3 miles long watching Paw Broon and the bairns get to the counter and be gobsmacked at the choice.

"Oooh, will I have a rollover hotdog or cheese & nachos or a burger? Will I have cheese on the burger? Will I have crisps and what flavour? Will I get irn bru? Do they have diet? Will I have a Mars bar or a Marathon? Whit, they're cried Snickers now? Oh I don't want one then"



FFS GET A PIE AND A BOVRIL AND FACK OFF!

Seriously, that's all that's needed. Scotch or steak disnae matter. Whatever's to hand. Consider it an adventure. A pie & a Bovril and that way everybody gets served and back to the game.

I prefer using the plastic stirrers things meant for coffee and tea to do that

Great post, had me fair chuckling. I agree with you, observe the beauty of the Brechin price list last season (review 3). Just "Pie - £1.40". As I said at the time, that's you, fucking sorted.

'Just pie' get's my vote.

[CALDERON]

I HATE being asked what kind of pie I want.

Idiots.

[coldojag]

Prepare to give Firhill a 1/10 for everything.

[jagfox]

Had a steak and a scotch pie this season, both were decent. Only one pint before each game by the way.

[lanky_ffc]

Brilliant stuff Gus. First time I've read this but something I'll definitely by keeping on top of. Some good descriptive language even if it is a bit close to the bone.

Search for original version Lanky, well worth a look imo.

Those pies get high marks.


As Jagfox says, catch up on last seasons thread, it's genius!

Not sure if that will work if not search under big Gus and pies. Avoid the baldy/hairy thread.
