When is a pie not a pie?

[vernon]

What about pies at the fitba? They often lack the base strength to make it through a sitting intact, yet I'd say they qualify.

Aye. They qualify alright.

They qualify for throwing at the players for want of a better thing to do with them.

To Rugby Park with you, sir. Our pies are the finest found in the land. Which gives us reason to be cheerful in the face of terrible fitba.

You wanna bet?

Lordy, Lordy! Oh well, I suppose it could have been a Bacon and Potato bake.

Glossop North End's pies were voted the best in the football league a couple of years ago. They're made by local butcher

They have their own abbatoir and win loads of awards for meat products

Morecambe FC top the pie charts in the football league. Perhaps when Glossop North End get promoted to the league they can lay a legitimate claim to the title.

This is, in fact, a tart-chart

A pie's circumference is directly proportional to the squares on the other two sides.

I have just carried out some extensive research (googled "pie") and it seems there is controversy and scandal in the world of pies

The "Enclosed" rule is being challenged and the evil twins shepherds pie and cottage pie are even trying to muscle in on the act.

There is a worse offender than the basic pastry lid: when they just make puff pastry circles, separately and hours earlier, and drop one on a dish when serving.

I've never sent such an abomination back, thought it was a English thing. I will, from now on.

Make? They buy the puff pastry circles frozen!

Fullers pubs do good pies with hot water crust pastry. I may well have eaten one for lunch yesterday here http://oldbankofengland.co.uk/

This is why a friend will ask when ordering "is your pie a pie, or a casserole with a hat on?" and order appropriately.

This is more complicated than the Jaffa "cake or biscuit" issue of a few years back.

Mmmmm.... jaffa pie.

I've just had lemon meringue pie does that fulfil the criteria?
