i reckon that if it doesnt have pastry then it cant qualify as a proper pie. Also most pies have chunks of stuff in them not mince.
mince pies have chunks in before you start! 😉
June 5, 2009 at 9:24 am #1200930After your call on this matter last night I was discussing it daaan pub with some peeps…It seems to split public opinion….Here’s mine (again, I know you heard this last night Process!!)
A Sheppards or Cottage pie have to be called by their specific names or refered to as a potato pie.
If i was told I was gonna have a pie I would expect pastry.

June 5, 2009 at 11:56 am #1200918BUT IS SHEPARDS OR COTTAGE PIE ACTUALLY A PIE?!
June 5, 2009 at 12:10 pm #1200929at first i was like – fo shizzle no
but now i cant stop thinking about it! I’m starting to think, its called a pie so must be a pie… who am i to say its not a pie, who am i to say it can’t be a pie, its been a pie for longer than i’ve been alive. :crazy:
hmmmmm….
June 5, 2009 at 12:27 pm #1200931Right…..this is the aqa answer!!!
Technically, a shepards pie is not a pie as it has no pastry. It’s called a potato pie in Australia; cowboy pie in America;and a hachis Parmentier in France.

June 5, 2009 at 12:41 pm #1200915did they rebuild that pie factory up north in the end (the one what got blown up?)
Part of me wants to support them and buy a pie, but at the same time I don’t like the way they were clearly being sketchy with gas safety for the factory ovens to get blown up in the first place…

June 5, 2009 at 1:32 pm #1200928maybe if it is a really well made homemade pie
i’d think differently
June 5, 2009 at 1:36 pm #1200916I remember seeing a van going through town marked “Essex Pies” – which had pictures of magpies on the side. thought that was marketing trying to be too clever – surely it’s gonna make you wonder about the contents of the pies? Either that or they are into “honest food labelling” :laugh_at:

sheperds or cottage pie may not be an actual pie, but its better than any pastry pie you can throw at me
