Auld Reekin' Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 18 hours ago, Bozi said: I used to love going to Anderson's baker, just along from the ODEON at about 4am after walking home from Lothain road, they would open up the back shutter and sell fresh pies right out of the oven. Would fuel you for the walk back to Niddrie Same with the wee bakery on Morrison Street, opposite what is now Thomson's Bar. In truth, the pies were probably not all that wonderful, but they certainly tasted it after a hard day's night in the pub! Malone's on Slateford Road too.

Victorian Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bains pies are not even just the best, they make all other non-Bains pies obsolete. They should have national fame for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize how shit they are,watery mince with shitloads of spice in a brick hard casing. A Mutton pie in Aberdeenshire,wherever you get it is usually very good and the best Scotland has to offer.

Sharpie Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Got my pies when out shopping on Saturday. Was going to have them today but got my wifes electric grill out yesterday, experimented and made a grilled cheese sandwich, perfect, so today I have defrosted a chicken breast she had frozen, so I have made a marinate, and that is happening just now and I will try grilling the chicken for dinner. Life is full of nothing ventured nothing gained moments. If I am successful I am sure she will be looking down and saying as she often did, I am proud of you. But I'm no really all that brave the pie is there in case of disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Morgan, like all things time helps heal wounds. I had wondered why I was having such a hard time dealing with this. I have always in times of difficulty seemed to handle myself pretty well. I realised today for the first time that the difficulty is the loss of the person who supported me through sixty two years of my life, and now its all my own responsibility, so its time to square the shoulders, say f...it and get on and do it. I hope I am man enough to manage that. I do use the words Esther I love you a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome any hug I get, apart from our son only one neighbour has offered any conversation. No one has called me just to ask how I am, the strongest support I have had is from right here on JKB. I am lonely and still very sad, but so far in my life I have not seen one arse that I would kiss to get anything from them, so its off to bed soon, and tomorrow will be another day of learning something new, and making my wife proud.

Sharpie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 So I decide I am homesick and want some old fashioned Scottish meals. Off the plane at Turnhouse right off to a pie shop get a pie put it in the oven, sit down to eat it and find its Macaroni, replace pie with heid in the oven. Of course will find that its an electric oven, not a good day.🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
