He reckons this is going to lead to greater things? What next?

The competition was headlined in the local press as Pie Noon.

The news has been the pielight of my day.

 

[Noodley]

I'm gonna give it a go...I reckon I could beat that!

 

[Aperitif]

There's a lot at steak Noodles - don't want to see you ale-ing, particularly when the chips are down.

...he's going to do some high-altitude training!

Pie in the sky!

That's a really nice clip, good interview, in depth analysis, great stuff!

The secret is "get as much pie down me neck as quick as I can"

 

[Aperitif]

He threw the pie edges into the water boiler at the competition - it was one way to urn a crust.

How many did he eat in 24 seconds?

I suspect it was just the one.

Pie eating rules have been changed to comply with healthy eating.

Having looked at the rules. I'm not as impressed as I was when I first read the thread.

Meat and tattie pies are for wusses - they lend themselves to speed eating due to their soft crusts and semi liquid filling.

"People have been travelling to this event for over fifteen years".

What method of transport are they using?

Will they arrive in time for next year's event?

Yesterday I was mooching around in out local Booths and in the "quick sale" chiller I found a family sized farmer's pie. That's a giant pork pie but with other meat in it, about the size of a large cereal bowl. I bought it for £1.30 and ate the lot in the car park. The moral? Never shop when you're hungry.

A man after my own heart.

I'll happily demolish a stand pie in one sitting.

Pie news from oop North.

I had to google, as a casual mention of vernon 'demolishing' something needs investigation! I found a Dewhurst butchers archive with pictures of pie-making machinery, recipes for seasoning involving 14lbs of white salt etc, and I mostly wanted to find the mean(wood) size of a stand pie. Big to bigger seems to be the flavour

Some champion pies are here - it's all very interesting you know...
