Do you look at the mantlepiece when you're stoking the fire.....?Sorry Vernon, as much as I like the look of the pie, I just dont like your plates. Too many colours and swirls.

That it is, if one were to take the question in a sexual context......That's a deeply personal question CP....
I merely was pointing out that it doesn't matter what Vernon's plates look like, the pie is the subject...

There's a strong possibility that I could get around to doing that. I'm looking at getting a 100km loop with suitable controls to allow audaxers to use it as a DIY audax. There's also the matter of selecting a suitable start and finish point giving easy access to cyclists who might need to use trains to get there.
Then there's how many km per pie........
Or you could increase the challenge by upping the pie stops and reducing the mileage. Issue entrants with a 20 pie card and
no-one is allowed to pass a checkpoint unless they have eaten a pie at each of the preceding stops. I'm sure the proprietors could be persuaded to to stamp each card as proof of purchase and consumption.

More accurately, yesterday's pies.
During the FNRttC York to Hull I exchanged pies with @Cubist and @ComedyPilot and gave the spares to @StuAff and @Tim Hall.
My pies were from Wilson's of Leeds and tasting notes can be read here.
8/10 from previous tasting notes - score unaltered by the one I ate before setting off to York for the ride.
Cubist brought a fidget pie from Bolston Moor Farm and I'd previous scored it at 8.5/10 when eaten in the dark and I couldn't see it. I speculated that the taste and score might change when eaten sighted. This proved to be the case. The pie had a good crust and the stuffing and apple were perfectly balanced foils for the pork filling. Photos from the original tasting re-used here. I was too keen to eat the pie once I'd got to Hull that photographing it would have got in the way of pie yearning.
Score was upgraded to 10/10. Woo hoo!
The Tindalls of Driffield pie was a bit of a curiosity. The crust was a poorer variant of hot water pastry and had delaminated slightly. The filling was grey rather than pink, reminiscent of Melton Mobray pies and the taste was very different from the majority of pork fillings tasted so far. It was strangely familiar and the second bite identified the source of the mystery - it was not a peppery filling but more herbal with sage as the dominant note. The sage was not overwhelming and the taste was very nice and strangely familiar though not through pie eating. Much later the identification of the filling's taste was identified - sausage rolls of various provenance and not entirely out of place in a pie. I suspect that this is a pie best eaten warm.
8/10

I've had different guises of this pie. Did it have a slice of black pudding in the pie or was the black pudding mixed with the pork? it makes all the difference

I`ve had both styles from the same place but with a seven? year gap between.I've had different guises of this pie. Did it have a slice of black pudding in the pie or was the black pudding mixed with the pork? it makes all the difference
The first encounter was of the layered type.pork with flecks of chilli,then bp, pork and topped off with bp, no pastry.Wow.I remember it to this day.To try two would be foolish such was the richness.
I had a day off earlier in the year,dry,bright, so got the idea to go for a ride buy a pie and take in some local hills and back home.
This time the pie had a mixture of pork and bp with a crust.A change of artistic director I recon but still it`s top pie!
