British Pie Week

[vernon]

Anyone having pie you ask? On Cycle Chat?

Well I can think of at least one person.

I started a day early. I had a slice of Gala pie from Waitrose yesterday.

I'm likely to visit a nice pie shop in Pudsey on Wednesday.

I'm pedalling to Ripon on Saturday during an audax. Ripon has two good pie shops I'm visiting both of them.

Further ahead, on Easter Sunday I'll be attending a pie and cider festival in Leeds.

Tell me more.
Son is at Uni there. Visiting him would be an excuse for going.

Don't you mean, 'Going there would be an excuse to visit him'?

The venue is the Belgrave Music Hall

Thanks Vernon looks good, but I'm an idiot. Just remembered the prodigal will be at home eating the contents of the fridge between 2 slices of bread as it's Easter.
He may be returning early, whether he wants to or not.

Another possibility is daughter needs a 'prom dress'. Think this involves going into lots of shops and trying on frocks. I shall suggest a trip to Leeds to do it.

Seeing as you will be redundant apart from the source of finance, I'll see you at The Belgrave Music Hall?

Would be nice to see you there. Will have to see how things pan out over the next few weeks when I get back home.

I'll wear a pie pinned to my lapel so that you can recognise me.

A bit like me, then

You only said that to spoil someone else's punch line.

What's @vernon's verdict on this leek and fennel pork pie? It looks pretty tasty to me.

It looks interesting but a tad too 'Patrick' for my tastes.

I'm currently plucking up courage to tackle hot water pastry again after the 'unfortunate incident' the last time I made some. The kitchen ceiling still bears the scars from the water/lard mixture explosion - a spectacular and memorable event though I wish Mrs Vernon was able to forget it.

I was guessing that you wouldn't be too keen on the meat/vegetable apartheid.

I had a nice pie today. It was from Bentley's of Pudsey. Packed with pork, lightly seasoned, peppery taste but not overpowering. Good firm crust. Minimal jelly as the filling didn't shrink much. 9/10.

That is a fine looking pie.

Did you see this guy? Runs you a close second in the pie loving stakes Or should that be steaks?

Surprise birthday pie cooked by my wife (just to clarify, I knew it was my birthday the pie was a surprise)
