Nah bottom pastry is delicious. The bottom pastry on a deep fried steak pie from the chippy is one of god's own creations.duncs500 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:42 ammik wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:33 amThere was a government petition in relation to this. The numbers are impressive.

I'm not passionate about it. Usually the pastry under a pie isn't great anyway, so I'm fine to replace that volume with a bit more meat / sauce etc.
As long as I know I'm getting some pastry and the filling of my choice, I'm happy.

I've never had one of those, I'll have to put that on the list. I just mean the the stodgy stuff when it's been cooked in a dish.ZedLeg wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:02 amNah bottom pastry is delicious.

shepherds pie has no shepherds in it though, so it's a complete lie.Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:24 am
Fish pie and Shepherd's pie have special dispensation for not actually being pies. A little like how Angel Delight is in fact not delightful.
As for angel delight...

Re: Pie or no pie
A pie must have: pastry or no pastry, meat or no meat, sugar or no sugar, veg or no veg, pastry lid or no pastry lid, pastry bottom or no pastry bottom, custard or no custard; all will be deemed a pie.. it’s pretty simple really
Cheers,

As an aside, Butterscotch Angel Delight is one of my guilty pleasures.
Which is even more surprising when I know how similar Angel Delight is to Bisto Gravy granules. Sure, it has sugar and flavourings, but it's basically maltodextrin and filler (milk powder for AD, potato starch for Bisto).
