Dix Handley Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 When was the last time you ate a scotch pie and actually enjoyed it! Have 4 pies in the fridge, but dont think think i can stomach the quasi-mince slurry jelly that passes for a filling nowadays. I remember enjoying them when i was a wean, but now i have such a educated pallet;)..they give me the dry boaks. (God, wish i was single fished then there would be NO problems!) MMMMM!..MMMM!..

Doctor FinnBarr Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 http://www.fbpecs.co.uk Pies are the food of the gods. Never get a bad 1, just some are better than others (like beer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Some of the fillings in pies nowadays are rank! You used to get loads of real meat in pies with some seasoning, now you get the offal, the fatty rubbish which has been dropped on the floor and scooped up with sawdust and dead fingernails, packed with grease to make it look good, and sold to us as the real deal. That's why I prefer a decent butchers pie because there aint many bakers pies I would trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Says Twiggy! I may have taken far too many drugs as a youngster, but I swear I can see a face in that pie at the top of the thread. Looks like its yawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Lyon Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Who you calling pie-face? On a serious note Bain's the butcher at Saughton do a mean mince pie as does the one opposite the Carrick Knowe pub. There is also a butchers in Peebles that does brilliant mince pies. Unfortunately don't go down to Peebles too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambojohnnyboy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Best mince pie i ever had was in Eyemouth, but these days I'd recommend the butcher in Bruntsfield for Scotch Pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 They do the best Mince and Onion bridie's in the world. That they do, it's just unfortunate that the last time I was in the butcher felly was a cantankerous cheeky pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercrutch Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 If you like pies there is only one place you need to go IMO. New Zealand. Their pies are immense. Even non-pie lovers can't get enough. I used to deliver pies for this place. Finished work by noon, free to go fishing, and all the pies you can eat for free. Heaven. http://www.keripies.co.nz/index-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambos are go! Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Bains pies are excellent - but McGills in Currie top them - they are just superb. Both are brilliant but I dont think they are Scotch Pies. They are Mince and gravy pies. I think a Scotch Pie should be a mutton pie and almost stodgy. Most are just stodge nowadays IMO.

JamboJay Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'm about to get stuck into an individual steak pie from Dalbeattie Fine Foods who hails from Dalbeattie funnily enough. Currently Alan Elliott the butcher, hold's the 2007 Scottish Haggis & Tradional Steak Pie Championship. No bad for a lad who came across Cookstown N.I. with nothing much to his name 'bout 5 years ago, and a nicer lad you'd struggle to meat. Does a superb range of Scotch (mutton) Pies, Steak Pies & Mince Rounds and all other manner of stuff butcherly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
