Sounds like a pie barm, aka the Wigan kebab.No serious stuff! I don't know if it was available to buy in shops,but i knew of one chap who had such a delicacy for his tea quite often. Often accompanied with a side order of a tin of mushy peas.

[QUOTE 5166947, member: 259"]Yes but you can't do a pie barm with a bottomless pie like a Fray Bentos. Unless you can bite through steel. The whole point is the pie, deftly popped between two halves of a buttered cob (or bread cake if you must). FBs have to be served in the can.[/QUOTE]

Don't know about that. I'd have bought the whole shop out. Especially if they were on that £1 each offer they often have.
They're always £1 each.
I don't like to stock up too much in case they ever have a bogof offer.
