Make the shift to steak puddings. It'll change your life.
They're a bit messy to eat at football though, can't get your hand round it like you can with a pie

Re: Review on our pies

[QUOTE=Lord Didsbury;1189333]Good memory there Monkey Hanger. To remember how things tasted decades on. I can still recall the taste of burnt rice pudding on a cub camp in Whitby circa 1972 but that's about it for me.

quite easy really as a lot of products including pies are now unavailable from when i was a kid. lots of smaller butchers who made em have gone out of business to be replaced by tasteless or over priced and over herbed specimens from supermarkets or deli,s. i lived in the midlands and east anglia for over 20 years and actually used to take pies back when i,d been up north. used to sell em also to other exiles as you couldn,t get anything in those places worth eating even if you could afford it. a pork pie with leek and apple, they just didn,t understand.

My parents kitchen window has a magnificent view of a field with the Hollands pie factory at the far end of the field.

I'm guessing it's only about 400 yards away and they tell me they live in a place called Rising Bridge.

Is that not where it is?

Excellent. Expectations of the size of my inheritance have just risen now I know their house is in the posh part. Does that put it on a par with London prices?

There's definitely those out there as haven't participated in this somewhat dubious pleasure, in all probability preferring a soggy sossy roll.

Re: Review on our pies

Amazed any of the food sold in the Clayton end is reccomended for human consumption

I will say the new caterer is a step up on the old one which sold out of date junk

Steady on old boy!
I thought catering in the Fanzone was now being run 'in-house' by the club?
The comestibles on offer are reasonably priced & freshly prepared.
They're certainly as good as anything being offered at other stadia & a damn sight cheaper.
Of course, no one is forced to purchase anything.

Re: Review on our pies

I was fortunate enough to call into Ossy Mills and bought some Cissy Greens large pork pies at £1.65 each they had large beef ones as well at the same price. These are an excellent pie and would sell well anywhere. Perhaps the club could do a deal with wham to supply something like a plastic lunch box with the clubs logo on the lid with a pie and peas or beans and a plastic spoon inside at the match, They could then take the pack lunch box home and use for school lunch boxes or picnics. I am thinking a slightly different spin on a meal deal we could offer at a reasonable price. A small idea. I am not sure about doing an opposition team lunch box as well due to copyright perhaps. Worth a thought maybe?
