Thread: Eastend Pies

So I guess this place goes on the bucket list for the next trip to England/Scotland. Being that as a teen and into my twenties I watched that soap Eastenders. This made me think of the Queen Vic and Grant.

Not too fond of East End style pies... Meh...

God that looks fucking disgusting.

Be honest. If someone had posted that as a picture in the breakfast or dinner threads, you would have given them shit..

Of course I'd eat that pie, mash, and jellied eel combo. I've never had parsley "liquor" or jellied eels, but I'd be up for a plate. Better than Macca's or KFC imo.

lubbly jubbly innit.

Looks like blokes food. I'll have some of that.

Used to have as a nipper, not cheap now.

You were lucky
If I got a whiff of it, that was classed as a main meal.

If I got a whiff of it I'd be bringing up a proper breakfast.

Will stick to me Pukka Pies Chicken Balti Pie from Tops for a while longer.

When I lived in Germany as a teen I used to fish the Rhine for eel. Not because I intended to eat them but because the local winemaker would trade a bottle of wine for 5 nice eel. It was a cheap way to get drunk.

My favourite dinner since being a nipper.

Double pie, double mash, liquor and loads of vinegar.

Very difficult to find an authentic one outside of London. The Retox sometimes put it on their specials. It's ok, but not the same as back home.

555 maaan, you had quite the appetite.

My Mrs does a rectangular pie with a suet pastry base and puff pastry top that many say is perfect for pie, mash and liquor.

The main problem here is getting the liquor right. The fish base the cooks use is apparently not as good as eel base sauce.

Get thysen oop north for a proper rugby club pie and pea supper.

Home made steak pies with mushy peas, gravy and mint sauce.

I might try that soon, but I'l use a bought steak pie, I'll mash some peas up myself with a fork and lather on whatever mint sauce I can find in Tops.

It was the only dinner I would and still can demolish.

I fear with my move up Norf its the only food i'll get to eat. I also worry that as soon as I pass Manchester on the motorway everything will turn sepia.

Why are you heading oop north, NPT?

If you can eat eel liquor, you'd enjoy the taste of spunk I reckon.
