Does the Steak and Ale pie need more pepper?

[jackanada]

I say yes! Though I do love pepper so others opinions please.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I hate pepper in pies.

 

[clippedgull]

salt and pepper!

 

[vegster]

Being topical, how about flame grilling rather than oven baked ?

 

[Pat McCrotch]

it also needs less of that rosemary shit on the top

To be fair, each pie does come with sachets of salt and pepper (hidden under the paper under the pie), but yeah, a touch more seasoning would go down a treat. Still yum, though

 

[BensGrandad]

I think it needs a little gravy as to my taste it is too dry, not swimming in it but just a little.

I loved that stuff, not too sure what it was though as I bought my pie at 14:55 and guzzled it down as quick as possible!

I was not aware of this, duly noted.

We won't start making pies again till next week so will keep my eye out for the results on this then pass on to the Mother.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The pies at the Fans Forum did lack seasoning but the Spurs and Donny pies were fine in my opinion.

 

[Conkers]

I'd be happy with getting a steak one and not chicken when I ask for a steak one.....

OMFG, will there be enough pies for tomorrows game?

We made 6000 as that's what was asked by the club. Whether this will be enough is anyones guess. Depends on the attendance I guess.

Edit: What I should also add is that they asked for the same amount of Steak as Chicken. Maybe the Chicken is becoming more popular

What a great thread the first thing to make me smile all night

If I hadn't been a little disappointed by my under seasoned and under gravied steak pie I wouldn't have eaten 2 chicken ones. Its the chicken pies fault for making the steak one look bad.

That's what I love about NSC - understandably serious discussions about the riots and then slap bang in the middle, a poll about pepper on the steak and ale pies!

Think the problem we could face is more gravy could lead to the base of the pie not holding up

 

[Brighton Boy]

the pies are the tits, i dont even go for the football now, i sit in the concourse with boxes of chicken and ham around me

I may have had an oddly dry one, seemed like there was plenty of tolerance left in that pastry to safely pick up a 'wetter' pie.
