Fear for your guts and hoop. Rest in the knowledge that the panic-bought bogroll hoard you denied an NHS worker or vulnerable elderly person, has been a justified acquisition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just to keep you all updated, just finished it. Pastry was flimsy and there was one chunk of steak and some stringy bits. Hugely disappointing. Going to need to drink a bottle of wine now to get the taste out my mouth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what a pished young man living far away from home needed. They were fucking excellent. The old Mathiesons bakehouse in Falkirk used to be good for this. Horn’s in Bo’ness were legends for a sunrise pie on the 5am stagger home from the lock-in or hoose party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I did not mention them. Imo they are far too greasy.If only wallaces land of cakes had never been killed of by willie lows/tescos or whoever finally killed them, there would be no debate in dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the mention of Pie Bobs in Arbroath it gets revered because it's the only 24 hour food place for drunks in Arbroath. Much the same way Clarkies is. Decent, but overrated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I had the worst ever mince pies from a bakery in montrose last year (can't mind the name), but they were truly awful. I bit into one an big drop of molten lava grease landed on my leg and nearly burnt a hole through my jeans. ETA - It was frost's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I had a pie at a midweek Saints game in Brechin many moons ago. It was early March and freezing. Bit into the pie and the grease literally flowed out. It splashed onto the crush barrier and it was that cold it formed solid hanging icicles of grease. Put me off fitba pies for pretty much life, think I've had 2 or 3 only since that night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I was working in Manchester for a while a few years ago and I got quite addicted to goat curry patties from a nearby Carribean takeaway. Definitely one of the better meat filled pastry snacks going. I just wish you could get them up here. I was incredibly disappointed with meat and potato pies from a bakery in Preston. Shite shortcut pastry and a pretty poor potato to meat ratio. In fact there was hardly any meat at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will politely disagree, pie and mash down south can be very decent. As long as you leave out that green shite they have with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
