Hollands pies in Spain
 
I have today bought Hollands - Meat Pies - Puddings - Pasties - Potato Pies in Spain.
Frozen but something I recognise.
The meat pies have suffered a 60% reduction in size since I were a lad as with the rest of the products but I must say congrats to the marketing people in Bash.
Not keen on puff pastry on the pasties.
Meat in the meat pies would fit on a tanner (Six old pence).
Flying the flag for Lancashire can't be bad?

much better pies than Hollands in spain, Toms on the Costa Del Sol that was all i sold, large full to the brim with Steak ETC, not gravy like the dirge they sell now. i too remember the days when Hollands took some beating- No Longer.:(

Hello,
I have just read that you have bought Hollands pies in Spain. Do you live out there? If so, you must really like them!

Anyone remeber the song about Holland's: it began "Holland's they make the best meat pies/Holland's they make your kidney's rise" or something like that. Sung to the tune of Colonel Bogey by the way?

Amusing that you can get them in Spain but a mate who lives in Nottingham can't get steal puds down there, I end up taking them into work for him to take home. :D

Was good when I lived in Hassy, my mate was a driver at Holland's and could get them at discount prices, but they're not as good as they were then, only have um occasinally now

Holland's Pies are not what they were in years gone by. Personally, I prefer Greenhalgh's these days - their beef steak pies are top notch. Wonder if Lilly Mae's serves 'em? ;)
