Meat Pies

[pomps]

Fair enough Socksy will carry on eating at my known establishments not be swayed by anyone saying best pie ever in SE Asia
Now back to the drubbing of the English cricket team by the Aussies today,2 pom wickets only left to go

[Barney]

Looked up the term pie eater because I remember it being thrown around years ago and found

Pie-eater
Australian Slang

an Australian; foolish person

or

pie-eater
Person from Wigan.

Nothing to do with the large number of pies eaten in Wigan but to do with a miner's strike in the 1920's when all the pits in WIgan and Leigh went on strike. The Wiganers went back and broke the strike, the "Leythers" continued to strike and got better pay and conditions. Therefore the Wiganer's had to "eat humble pie"... so it's a term of abuse from Leythers to Wiganers. The hostility between the two towns stretches back hundreds of years to the civil war when Wigan was Royalists and Leigh were Parliamentarian and continues to this day.

Don't forget the old pie chucker. A few of them bowling pies over in Perth today Barney.

Just had the best pie ever. It was over stuffed with the best tasting mince plenty of gravy just enough onions and the crust was heavenly. No other pie in Udon comes close to this pie and it costs less then any others available in Udon. It was so good I'm keeping it a secret where I got it, don't want to share with anyone.

I had one of those a couple of days ago, and thought there was a bit too much onion.

Today, I was lucky enough to be invited to try a meat pie created by Peter the resident cook at Cherm Chim and what a great pie it was.
Great pastry (not to thick) filled to the brim with tasty wagyu beef mince and gravy of perfect consistency , I then tried the steak and mushroom creation, this pie was again full to the brim but of cubes of tender beef in a mushroom gravy.
These two pies were the best I have eaten in S/E Asia and not just Udon Thani.

TWO pies! Hope your stomach doesn't match the size of your appetite. What are the respective weights and prices of these two pies?

I would have tried the steak and onion also but for the fact that I had just finished breakfast, what stomach? being a non drinker and still doing 10 hours a day on the farm keeps me in shape ,well reasonable shape for my 76 years.
Pedantic issues like size and weight are not my thing,its a bit like comparing caviar and salmon eggs ,they are both fish but one is so much superior

Just querying your customer ozzydom re best pie ever in south east asia,kindly quote which specific products that have criticised since a previous customer of your business.At least you are fully utilising your oven re the pies/pizzas Terry.
Maybe the problem arose before because you were pretending to a customer and um member Wallabyjack which I thought was not the way to go but each to their own

Asd I have said before price is not the problem, but quality is, I have no doubt Peter the Chef cooks a good pie, I have never said otherwise , I will have to wander along and partake in a pie or two and make an informed decision.

[stattointhailand]

My Market Research seems to indicate that I have to agree with 747 ...... No way I would pay B90 for a pie, even if you chopped up a "gold medal winning prize cow from Bombay" and put that in it

[socksy]

My mate arrives this month from England to Pattaya for his annual 'Piefest' of the 'hairy pie' type - without the hair off course, so I'll try and ascertain where the best outlets are and if there are also 'vertical bacon sandwiches' on offer.

[ting_tong]

choice-foods-udon, whats with the shouting? you should unlock your cap lock button

so where is the secret pie, MS and pomps?

[pomps]

Have no idea of any secret pie,thawt MS was impicating his mother in law

Think I will stay away from any thread from now on about pies,this one for starters,it will be for the best,going to work hard on my self discipline

Will wait patiently for the update on Chinese options for farangs on another thread as sounds interesting =D>

Aah, the same age as my younger brother! But I do envy the life you describe. =D>

"Pedantic issues like size and weight are not my thing,..."
Interesting philosophy. As a struggling pensioner, if I was offered the choice of a 175gm Steak & Kidney pie @ Bt.90 or another larger 250gm pie of similar quality, at the same price, I would certainly buy the latter, every time. I would interpret that as being sensible, rather than pedantic. Fortunately, for home consumption, I cook all my own pies and puddings, and have convinced myself they are all better, (and certainly cheaper ), than any I could buy. Perhaps we could do a trade Ozzy; some of your fresh home grown vegetables, in exchange for some of my pies.

"... its a bit like comparing caviar and salmon eggs ,they are both fish but one is so much superior"
Very subjective that Ozzy, (as is this ongoing thread regarding which of the locally available pies is "best" ). For example, I consider Salmon far superior to caviar. Over a two year period, when heavily involved in the luxury food business, and in a position to partake of either without cost, I frequently gorged myself on salmon, and never ate even one spoonful of caviar. Thus, I must admit, proving I am just a peasant at heart, lacking class.

[stattointhailand]

Perhaps it's just the "salmon" in you, wanting to swim against the tide all the time

I think all this shouting about putting the 'best' meat in pies and mince is a load of nonsense. It goes away from the origins of them .Originally butchers used the lesser cuts from the carcass to make them, many of which though less appetising to look at and possibly not so tender to eat, when prepared and cooked in this way, made a cheap meal for their customers, and enabled them to use all of the carcass.Only a fool would want to chop up prime steak meat to use .That also goes for saying only prime waygu or any other specialised breed meat in them .It is simply not necessary and only adds to the finished cost without any increase in taste, thus defeating the object of a cheapish meal.I make my own cottage pies in a batch for freezing once a month, using the Thai/French beef available, buying 2 kilo for about 250 bht kg. This is enough to make 10 family size pies, which adding on the other items means they cost me less than 70bht each .They are delicious and I assure you they wouldn't taste better if I paid twice as much to use these luxury meats .

[choice-foods-udon]

Dear val I appreciate your comments but if the customers enjoy pies with real Aussie beef why would you settle for Thai french Beef in your pie? I would also like to mention that nobody said prime cuts were being used in fact high quality secondary Wagyu or Black Angus pies seem to make our customers very happy

The Facts Thai French use Growth Hormones to fatten up the Beef ,They also use Antibiotics and Use Genetically Modified Feed lots being an internet wiz do your research as to what particularly GM Feed lots and growth Hormones can do for Your health.

Another order for 50 pies Saturday another order for 70 Pies next Wednesday Peter will be busy?
Must mention todays Pie Promotion is working in cracking fashion thought you would be in for your free Pie Val.

Everyone is enjoying our Free Pie per customer promotion be quick selling fast!
