I did!

Maybe the people of Wigan have been buying their pies from proper pie shops and not Tesco.

Uncle Morts quote doesn't describe a balanced core meal, there's no mention of gravy!

... with the average pie-muncher spending £15.50 a year on the food.

Now come on! Thats only about 12 pies a year, (unless they're buying the really crappy ones) I know people who spend that in a week on pies.

Wot - Gravy on Apple Pie ??????? That's just wrong

We've got a butcher in York, sells the best steak pies ever. They are basically a huge wodge of diced steak packed together with gravy, and held in check by the pastry. Crammed with steak, they are.

Damn, I want one now....

Pukka!

Isn't custard just a type of gravy? Like jus, coulis and sauce are.

BLUE ARMY! BLUE ARMY!

Just e-mailed this to my nephew in Wigan, he'll be sick as a parrot!

I supooooooooooose so. In the same way that a lion is just a type of tiger...

Did anyone see the Victorian Pharmacist programme? They showed the recipe for Birds custard. Cornflour, with a little turmeric for colour, and almond essence to hide the taste of the turmeric. Simple!

So do I now after that description. Did you have to?
I now am in a dilemma - I'm trying to lose a bit off my waistline but feel obliged to try and raise my fair city to the top of the pie eating league single handed. Which is probably where the waistline came from in the first place.

Tell him to stop putting custard on his meat pies then.

Good analogy, it also works the other way round.

But Custard was a cat not a tiger, or a lion. You're gettting me all confused now.
