    ^^ quite, my favourite. sense has returned to the august institution.

    Meat pie back on the menu at British Pie Awards after steak and ale beats vegan title holder

    Brockleby’s steak, ale and stilton pie crowned 2023 winner after last year’s award went to Pieminister’s gluten-free and vegan Mooless Pie

    When a vegan and gluten-free pie triumphed at the British Pie Awards in 2022, traditionalist eyebrows were raised.


    But for many, order has now been restored after a steak, ale and stilton pie was crowned the 2023 winner.


    Ian Jalland, owner and managing director of Brockleby’s Pies, the Leicestershire-based recipient of this year’s ‘UK supreme champion’ accolade, said he was “really chuffed” and that his victory shows “the backlash against vegan pies”.


    “People want real meat pies and this win supports that,” he added.


    The winning entry, named Moo-and-Blue, beat more than 900 other pies after 150 judges sampled the savoury snacks in tightly-controlled conditions.


    The winner of the annual competition – which has been running since 2009 – was announced in St Mary’s Church in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, on Friday afternoon.


    In contrast, last year’s winning entry went to Pieminister’s gluten-free and vegan “Mooless Pie”.


    Mr Jalland added: “We do make vegan and gluten-free pies too, but we make and sell a lot more meat pies. We use beef from local farms, as well as some from our own, and free range chicken.”


    He said: “We’ve been entering The British Pie Awards for 15 years and this is just the best result possible.”


    Mr Jalland added that he would probably celebrate his victory by having just one beer later tonight so he could be prepared for his round of interviews in the morning to continue promoting his win and his steak, ale and stilton cheese pie.


    Brockleby’s, which is a family-run company and makes more pies in the Melton borough than any other, has added the top award to its more than 30 accolades at the showcase event over the years.


    Ahead of this year’s victor being unveiled, baking began on Wednesday in Britain’s unofficial pie capital, Leicestershire, as 908 bakers from pubs, restaurants and other establishments served up fillings ranging from Marmite-and-cheese, kebab and lasagne.


    As well as attracting a record number of pies and pastries, the awards’ organisers recruited judges from major retailers, including Selfridges and Tesco, to work alongside chefs and pie experts.


    Following a strong year for vegan pies in 2022, the category dropped to being the fifth most numerous among this year’s entries.


    Matthew O’Callaghan, the Awards chairman, said: “We are always highly encouraged to see the nation’s love of pies at these annual awards, and this year there has been a huge level of excitement and creativity.


    “On Wednesday we had the pleasure of enjoying some spectacular pies, and Brockleby’s Pies has overcome exceptionally stiff competition for not only the best hot-eating savoury pie, but has triumphed over all entries and been crowned supreme champion.


    “These awards celebrate the skill of British piemakers across the nation, so I’d like to say a particular congratulations to Brockleby’s for this huge success.”


    In 2019, Greggs’, the budget bakery chain, launched its vegan sausage roll to much fanfare and is planning on expanding its vegan range following soaring profits.

    Just to be clear, you do realise the topic is about pies and has nothing to do with women's nipples?

    Well, you live and learn!


    Is it pastie or pasty?

    A pasty is a British baked pastry. Pasty or Pastie may also refer to: Pastie, a large, round patéd pie eaten in Northern Ireland. Pasties, adhesive coverings applied to cover a person's nipples.

    Utter Bollox, wong sorta flakey

    No Shepherd's Pie with lamb nor Cottage Pie with beef?

    10 Most Popular British Pies - TasteAtlas
    While I've seen banoffee on menus and master chef many of the relatives I feed every summer ever order it nor do the lads who'll gobble anything free or on promotion at nearest Sainsburys as too lardy to walk to Lidl or Tesco in UK

    I've never heard expats asking me to bring such , however a lovely old sailor in Portugal would give a tab in his bar for a monthly top up of

    Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney (I think it was with whiskey his entire diet)

    No mention of



    Grosvenor Pie
    Veal and Ham Pie
    Mince Pie both meat and gravy type and the seasonal mincemeat sweet one probably Boxing Day favourite
    Greggs Steak slice which I read in Metro England's favourite pastry snack between Vapes
    Open pies like Cheese and Onion, Ham , Spinach , Mushroom , quiche Lorraine style seem to get hoovered out of the Fridge and a big lad can gobble one in 2 folds

    Even MsDungdingles sell APPLE PIES heated so much the juice burns your tongue

    1. Mince beef and onion
    2. Chicken and ham
    3. Steak and Kidney
    4. Steak and Onion
    5. Chicken and Mushroom
    6. Steak and Mushroom
    7. Steak and Potato

    Her mini Party pies, sausage rolls and Cornish Pastys are also popular and her most popular meals and others are Cottage Pies and Spring Rolls.

    Her deserts being apple Pies, cherry pies, blueberry pies and apple crumbles are selling very well.

    I think the only local pie maker who is not backed by an ex-pat butcher or baker is my wife.

    I struggle to boil an egg!

    I always pick up a pack of your wife's spring rolls when at Siamburies.

    Deep fry the whole lot (5 or so large ones in a pack) with a tub of Chinese sweet and sour sauce on the side to watch football with.

    Isn't Gobi one of the animated creatures in Harry Potter and I can arrange the sand.

    By the way Tom you have not posted on my bar preference thread as yet.

    I have considered opening an exclusive Gay bar with all the trimmings as I believe these venues are very profitable and the clientele are very clean and are not cheapskates.

    I would appreciate if you could offer me your suggestions with regard to a Gay Venue you would like to go to. Do you like ladyboys, theme dressed macho men or just straight looking gay men?

    I am not trying to be cheeky but a friend of mine had 5 gay bars in London and he made a fortune.

    Thanks in advance Tom!

    I had some this morning and what I do is take them out of the wrapper still frozen and dunk them in some cooking oil and then straight into the air fryer for 10 minutes on high.

    Absolutely the best!

    Aotearoa New Zealand top pie has to be steak and cheese with mince and cheese a close second.
