An important question about pie...

[Chuffy]

Baggy and I were wondering:- Do the French have pie and do they have a word for it?

I could Google, but this is more fun.

Hairy Pie????

 

[Noodley]

It'll be something poncy sounding, la fruefrue tartlette du jambon or the like

 

[oscarplu]

Yes "tarte" if there's fruit in it and "tourte" if it's a meat pie

 

[Chuffy]

Hairy Pie????

Before or after a fish supper?

 

[Chuffy]

Yes "tarte" if there's fruit in it and "tourte" if it's a meat pie

Really? But do they have proper pie, with bits in and gravy?

 

[Chuffy]

And a lid.

Oh it's always a mini fish special for me.... with curry sauce

Bah! Bad Oscar! Naughty Oscar!

I want hands on French pie experience, knowledge and expertise please. None of this third hand of-the-internet stuff.

[Chuffy]

Sorry.....

Should think so too. Now, get over the Channel and find me a French pie.

You could only take it one way with me star.....

The French don't put lids on their pies like we do...
