>Ricardo shitposting

Nothing good has ever been served with ketchup and a sprig of curly parsley.

>>19685283
Minced beef pie? Edible but not in any way special. Steak and kidney now, there's a pie worth getting excited over.

>>19685335
Touche

>>19685567
>tourtière is the same as a minced beef pie

>>19685567
>Steak and kidney now, there's a pie worth getting excited over.
I second this.

>>19685567
I want to try steak and kidney pie. I live in ny and a family from liverpool has a pie stand/online pie at a few farmers markets. I sampled the minced beef and was blown away, but got a steak and ale and literally ate it all in one sitting at home

Steak and kidney suet pie/pudding rules over all

>>19685721
vile

>>19685721
>Steak and kidney suet pie/pudding
C'mon mate, it's a pudding! (this confuses the hell out of Burgers)
But I do love 'em. The stodgy suet pastry is a real belly warmer.

>>19685705
>and a family from liverpool
If they are Scousers, then they know of steak n kidney. The Kidney is kind of textured like a large, half cooked button mushroom, with an ironish flavour. It's not central but complementary to the pie.
Not sure how offal is viewed in the USA but I hope you enjoy anon.

>>19685283
Should be mash and peas where the parsley is, and the tourtière acts as a seawall for the gravy

>>19685283
it looks good, recipe? oh you didnt make it yourself? kys

>>19685780
Yeah they actually offered scouse pie but were sold out, as for offal it's not uncommon in the us but is definitely more common in the south than the north. They don't always offer the full list just select ones, but you can order any of the flavors online for pick up I believe

corrr blimey my willy is getting rock solid

>>19685582
It is literally the same thing, just made by canucks, who have a lot less experience than the rest of the pie-making world

>>19685582
>OURS IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE... I-IT JUST IS OKAY????!!!

>>19685869
Canucks have been making tourtière before Australia was even a colony

>>19686065
You've never actually read any British history have you? Canucks weren't really establishing their own french/english hybrid culture until the 1790s, which is also when Australia was being colonised.

Regardless, most of the pie-making world have been making pies for millenia longer than those twats.

>>19686088
Many distinctly Canadian institutions were conceived before Canada "existed"
The seeds of said "culture" were planted when the French (and subsequently the Brits) turned up in the 17th century

>>19685582
>tourtière is the same as a minced beef pie
Yes, the literal exact same thing, and also one of the blandest pie types

>>19686254
lmao based

I wish they made stuff like cheddar and ham pies that you could microwave for a quick snack.

>>19686862
Well want no more friend! Sliced is objectively the better version

>>19685567
Seeing this just made me hungry for a wigan kebab desu.

>>19686931
Oh ay lad

>>19686979
I'm planning a trip to the UK next year with my sister and she think's I'm joking but I'm dead serious that Wigan is one of my high priority destinations.

>>19686988
There's not much to do there other than eating but can definitely drop by for pie or 2. Galloways is the local business but there's an award winning artisan pie place called Baldys pies which do some fancy ones.
Then there's the Trawlerman chippy which the "smack barm pey wet" meme comes from

>>19686988
You're sister's going to make my bedroom her high priority destination

>>19687028
Thanks for the recs anon, I was pretty deadset on going to the trawlerman but only because it was the only place I knew.
>>19687043
kek

>>19686979
My first instinct was to mock that thing, but can you actually eat that pie with a bun like that?

>>19687049
You need to go to the John Bull Chop House. Proper backstreet boozer hidden in the town centre. Its been there 500 years. It has a dress code though

>>19687060
Its easy. Can be messy though, especially with a minced meat pie. So probably need use the paper bag it comes in in your other hand to catch anything

>>19687083
Looks great, thanks.

As a kiwi, I've never seen a pie from the UK that looked better than a $1 pie from the dairy.
Why do they always have a crumbly biscuit pastry???
Why is it always so basic? Mince, Steak, Steak and onion, Steak and kidney, Steak and Guinness... yawn

Where's the Steak Bacon & Cheese, the Chicken Bacon Mushroom, the Roast Pork & Watercress, the Steak Bacon and Mushroom, the Thai Green Chicken, the Bacon Egg & Cheese, the All-Day Breakfast, the NY Peppered Steak and Caramelised Onions, the Apricot Chicken Camembert and my favourite the Chicken Bacon Asparagus and Cream Cheese?
If you haven't got pies like this, nobodies coming to your bakery, if you've got them all there's a line out the door.

Picrelated is my local Roast Pork Apple with Pork Crackling ontop
Spare me with the plain mince and sat-on peas with plain hot chips, what the actual fuck?

>>19685721
mushy peas
opinion invalidated bong

>>19687095
The Whistle Stop Cafe under the arches of the train bridge in the town centre do a good breakfast. You can spend a whole week eating at all the good places in Wigan

>>19687161
hot damn this thread is a gold mine, thank you anons.

>>19685283
Kinda want to make a lamb and wine pie now

>>19687028
I haven't been here for awhile, and sadly, just looking it up they had to shut the shop down. He just just travels locally to venues instead and serves out of his vans kitchen. He has a Facebook page and gives his location and is hoping to do some sort of delivery service nationwide instead

>>19687100
most of the pies you see posted on the Internet are cheap bottom of the barrel chip shop takeaway pies posted for meme purposes, obviously we have more gourmet pies like the ones you've described and more but you won't see them on 4chan because they don't fit the le bong cuisine narrative

>>19685283
You kneel

>>19687105
Unless you have tried them you can’t knock them

>>19686988
Anon it'd be greatly appreciated if you could report back on the delicacies on offer in sunny old Wiggan, I'm also curious about it

>>19687083
as a burger living in bongistan, one thing which never gets old for me is drinking in pubs older than my homeland
can't say I care for being on the receiving end of fearful mistrust of foreigners for a change, but what can you do

>>19685567
>>19685721
>>19686979
brittish food is really an inside joke right? no way these "people" actually eat this

>>19687912
>Pâté chinois (pronounced [pɑte ʃinwa]) ('Chinese pie') is a French Canadian dish similar to the English shepherd's pie or French hachis Parmentier. It is a traditional recipe in both Québécois cuisine and Acadian cuisine.
You take that L dumb anglo.

>>19688629

holy shit i didnt know this was a real dish. i thought my mom made it up. she calls it shepherds pie lol

>>19688629
As the one anglophone Quebecois Defender on the continent I hate to say this, but corn is strictly inferior to carrots & peas as a vegetable for a cottage pie.

>>19688585
It's literally no worse than anything eaten anywhere else, anon.

>>19688585
How do you know it tastes bad? You don’t . You can’t judge until you eat it

>>19688629
Idk what you're on about, mashed potatoes are superior to crust

>>19688629
>shepherd's/cottage pie with inferior sweetcorn
>yeah take that anglos
You can fucking keep it, qu*becunt.

>>19686988
if you have time I reccomend Otley in West Yorkshire. Geo Middlemiss & Sons do some of the best pork pies going.

>>19685869
>>19685934
>>19686212
i dont know if trolling or actually ignorant, but for interested parties tourtiere is a mix of beef and pork, not straight beef

>>19685291

>>19686988
why

>>19688987
Nobody is really interested in a Canuk rip-off.

>>19688987
wow it contains a whole second kind of ground meat truly a culinary revelation

>>19687100
cheese is a cope, never been eating a good pie and thought "this is great, but it could do with some cheese"

>>19687100
blows my mind that anybody would think new zealand does anything better than somewhere else
all you have is natural beauty and sheep fucking, and the welsh have got you beat on the latter

>>19688585
Where are you from mate? Have you ever actually visited the UK, or is your extensive knowledge of British cuisine gathered entirely from your short time on this website?

>>19688947
Fuck that, if you're in Otley go to Weegmans, their pork pies are second to none.

>>19687100

Plus the dozen other common flavours you didn't list. Both NZ and Aus are levels above the UK when it comes to savory pies.

>>19689584

You are missing out.

>>19690559
>Both NZ and Aus are levels above the UK when it comes to savory pies
you have no frame of reference for this and couldn't back it up if you had to

>>19690559
>Both NZ and Aus are levels above the UK when it comes to savory pies
I guess you need something to make your lives worth living.

>>19688585
It’s hearty and filling, really kind of jealous that meat pies never took off in burgerland like the rest of the anglosphere, except chicken pot pie for whatever reason

>>19688585
It looks like shit. The ingredients are simple. Most of the time when I make it it's shit.

But when you get it right or go to an actually fancy pub or something. It nourishes the soul anon I'm serious. I followed a simple pasty recipe once which I pray I bookmarked and despite not adding anything special every bite was delightful. I think layering the potato slices on the bottom had something to do with it.

>>19690675
I think a lot of it is in the crust. The crust I made for the pasty recipe was super easy to make and delightful when a lot of the pie crusts you get over here end up being too doughy and there's too much of it.

>>19688242
You should kill yourself unironically.

>>19690709
Lead by example, champ.

>>19690559
>You are missing out.
really not
I have a frame of reference and a good beef pie simply does not need cheese, you're just chucking shit in for the sake of it at best, or coping for mediocrity at worst

>>19690635
if you're a brit that's big talk considering you're speedrunning a return to 19th century health and welfare

>>19689725
>Weegmans
literal pleb tier pork pies. Middlemiss shits all over their second rate pies.

>>19687028
I'll be in the UK next month.
I'm not entirely sure of my movements, but is it worth seeing Manchester, and grabbing a pie on my way through?

>>19691337
Yeah probably best. Manchester has lots to see and do. Probably about 20 miles between Wigan and Manchester. Wigan for the Trawlerman, on the outskirts of town if you want go there for the meme and Galloways in Wigan town centre. There's Greenhalghs bakery and Pound Bakery there too.
Theres a multi story car park attached to the Grand Arcade shopping centre thats in the town centre. You have to go by foot. Theres lots of building going on at the moment in Wigan . Wigan town centre also has chippies. My regular was The New Chippery

>>19688629
Only a French Canadian would make a shepherd’s pie worse by adding sweetcorn, call it Chinese, and then pretend it’s better than the original.

>>19686894

>>19690834
>if you're a brit that's big talk considering you're speedrunning a return to 19th century health and welfare
>having no comeback except a wild stab in the dark on the off chance anon is a bong

>>19688987
>>19689017
It can also have veal, and the spice profile is more nutmeggy, whereas I find beef mince is more salty.

>>19692346
yeah why would somebody butthurt about kiwis and aussies in a reply chain about pies be a brit, completely implausible

>>19692346
>in a panic, he starts to scream, howling: "THAT WOULD BE ACCURATE IF I WERE A BRIT, WHICH I AM NOT" as he self-consciously daubs away the sweat and gravy from his union jack t-shirt

>>19692761
because australians are and have always been a blight upon 4chan, an american website, and as a red-blooded american it's my god-given right to remind them of it
>>19692811
cope, bruce

>>19692840
>He sputters out keynote buzzwords; "Cope! Cope! Cope!"

Sorry buddy, I'm just an American who's here to laugh.

>>19692876
me too, you should laugh at the australians with me

>>19685283
gtfo my way
best pie coming thru

>>19692908
Aussie pies don't exist. All "Aussie" pies are British pies

>>19692840
you seem to be autistic, which i'm not criticising, just somebody ought to explain harassment to you before you get more of a hard time at school or in life more broadly
if Australians, your words, are and have always been a blight upon 4chan, it's probably because of our reputation for shitposting. you're only going to encourage that by using every opportunity, including interjecting into a reply chain without really knowing what's going on, to almost proudly show how butthurt Aussies make you. let alone if you're doing so with these cringe over-egged flagwaving speeches. the shitposters know they are having an effect on you

>>19692963
tldr

>>19693025
suit yourself, happy to shitpost if you secretly love it

>>19692933
Aussies are really just Brits with perpetual sunstroke, so any distinction between them at all seems basically irrelevant.
