Parsley sauce with a steak and kidney pie? You're avin a larf, ain't ya?

Nope, it's pretty typical in pie & mash places like Manze's or Cooke's - where it's called liquor.

[QUOTE 5160373, member: 259"]I always liked pie and mash. I worked round the corner from White Cross Street for a bit and there was a really good place there. As long as the licker goes on at the last minute, the pie still keeps its structural integrity.[/QUOTE]

Hope that's not a euphemism

You lick the plate!
IF it's not you, let the licker get their own.

Most of the pie & mash places I knew while growing up have closed. The only one I know that's left is the one on Walthamstow High Street.

There was one in Bermondsey when I worked on a building site opposite it a long time ago. It's still there on 87 Tower Bridge Road but it's ever so slightly smarter these days. Actors go to it....

This. Liquor spoils good pies

Which means that the prices have been suitably inflated, I'd imagine...
