Ladies and Gentlemen.

I bring you the Wigan Kebab:

What's in the pie?

 

[jayonabike]

My favourites are either a Quarter pounder with cheese from Maccy D's or a Bacon double cheese from Burger King

Mustn't forget a mixed lamb kebab from my local kebab house. Kofta Shish & Doner with chilli sauce served in a Naan bread

[biggs682]

No, that is a Wigan Burger.

Wigan Kebab is 4 pies on a skewer.

Wigan salad - a cold pie


Brownie points to anyone able to explain why Wigan is famous for pies

KFC, McD and subway all close to me. Have one every month or so. It is cheap and as OP said reliable in terms of delivering to expectation. Burger King (for burgers) has a better range IMO but there's not one near to me. I used to love going to Gregg's at Uni and getting a baguette, but I haven't been to Greggs for years now. I'm not a fan of takeaway pizza though - I would rather have a kebab. I don't like it when people (and the press) constantly slate these places for being "unhealthy". If you don't like the food then fair enough, but if you do, having a meal there occasionally is not unhealthy if you eat proper food for the rest of the time. If you only ate oranges all your life then that would be far more unhealthy.

I've never eaten in Nandos.

On the subject of KFC, I think the original recipe chicken is much better having been sat a while. I had some in Exeter once and it was served to me straight from the fryer - it was very hot but very tough.

Does it not host a pie eating contest/championship?

Maccy Ds : Sausage and Egg Mc Muffin. End of. Coffee's good. Toilets are spotless (an issue for Mrs N)

It may well do, but why does it?

 

[AndyRM]

It may well do, but why does it?

Probably because Geoffrey "Pieface" Stevenson, inventor of the pie, was born there in 1753.

I do like a McD sausage McMuffin. When I say "a" McD sausage McMuffin I mean two McD sausage McMuffins.

I also order two drinks of different types so that it looks like I have a friend.

It's the best time of year for shellfish. Here's a two minute recipe for scallops.

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and stir in garlic. Cook for a few seconds until fragrant. ...
2. Remove scallops to a platter, then whisk salt, pepper, and lemon juice into butter. Pour sauce over scallops to serve.

[QUOTE 4467408, member: 259"]I used to get scallops from the chippy.

Directions

1. Peel spuds and cut into slices.
2. Batter slices and deep fry in hot beef dripping until golden brown and serve in a bag with a sprinkling of salt and malt vinegar

I remember them. Delicious. Put it in bread and you have a veggie burger.
