Karma inbound for that one...

Pulaski

That's not even a good pie. The best sort of pie has steak in it, and preferably kidneys too. .... Then you can follow up with a slice of cake.

Rete

Never ... sweet over savory every time

BuckinghamshireBoy

Ahem. Surely you meant to say "A good pie.." rather than "The best sort of pie..."

Now where did I put that chicken & mushroom & bacon flavoured negative karma?

Pulaski

Opinions are subjective, so while I would agree that there are many good pies, mostly containing meat, or otherwise containing stewed fruit, and with a pastry lid, I believe that the pinnacle of the pie world is the steak and kidney pie, with steak and ale as a close runner-up.

BuckinghamshireBoy

Pastry lid goes without saying, n'est pas?

Otherwise it would be considered as a quiche?

Negative karma reduced

So would you eat that with a knife and fork, spoon, fork alone, or all three?
I considered foregoing the cheap shot in pursuit of real karma, but in the end couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Pulaski

Knife and fork if it contains meat, spoon if it contains fruit.

A fork alone is only for rice or (some) pasta dishes.

Or for stabbing the kidneys out of your pie and dropping them into the trash.

Steak and Ale however... yum.

In a church basement in a small town in Saskatchewan the Queen and Prince Philip attended a traditional fowl supper (harvest supper) and the lady clearing the dishes said, "Oh keep your fork Prince, there's pie."

Fruit pie? Spoon and fork, not just spoon. Maybe it's a London thing?

Pulaski

Probably - spoon and fork is posh. As a child I was only given a spoon for pudding, and even today, if given a spoon and fork for dessert I will generally choose only one, depending whether or not the dessert has any sauce or liquid.

Is that stick uncomfortable?



Come on guys. The perfect tool for that kidney (yucky) pie is a SPORK.

I might one day try your steak pie but I do not like kidneys. I do like liver and onions but not the damn kidneys.

I've covered this before, but to reiterate, when you unzip an animal (after peeling it), anything that falls out of the inside is garbage and should be treated as such.
