Words That Irritate You.

[Marco]

I'm also led to believe that the word "vegetarian" comes from a native North American word meaning "shit at hunting".

Good one! However, daftee, you can also get veggie pies!

I'm not a big pie person, as it's not really part of my food culture.

I enjoy a good home-made steak (or steak and kidney) pie, or my favourite is game pie [when I know what's gone in them], particularly venison, with a nice thick shortcrust pastry, either served with some creamy mashed potato, garden peas, buttered carrots, and lashings of rich home-made gravy, but that's about it - and they've got to be hot. I don't like cold pies.

If the pies aren't home-made, then they'd have to come from a good butcher I know, as I don't do cheap, mass-produced crap [Ginsters and such like], filled with all sorts of shit posing as 'meat'!

It's those Pukka Pies that really are the pits. Some form of processed ''meat'' of dubious quality inside the cacky pastry. ''Puke'' pies might be a more applicable description.

I don't see how they can be worse the Fray Bentos tinned pies. The 'sludge' in those has a foul stink!

Lol... Never tried them. I rarely entertain consuming processed foods. Where at all possible, I like to *know* exactly what it is I'm eating and where it's come from!

In that respect, I'm as fussy about things like sausages, as I am with pies....

They are revolting. I wouldn't feed one to the dog. And they aint cheap either.

As a teenager I had a Saturday job in the local butchers. Part of my work was making the sausages. Nothing off went it to the mix, but it did include every bit of hairy dried out stringy off-cuts that were removed to make the joints presentable for sale. Part of the wages included 2lb of sausages, but these were a special staff mix and very tasty too!

I think we need to have a collection for you. I would say £1 is cheap for a Kate and Sidney pie!

They cost a lot more than a quid. Unless they have dropped in price recently. I had one about 10 years ago it was about £3.50 IIRC. Managed one mouthful, spat it out and binned the rest.

Frankly even if they are down to a quid now that's asking a fortune for the level of quality on offer.

Don't really like pies of any type, I don't like 'British Stodge' in general., probably because I grew up with it. Give me a good steak and chips any day.
