Which great British pie deserves to be crowned the king of the crust?
From flaky pastry to rich fillings, the humble pie has long been a cornerstone of British cooking. Rank these five contenders by your personal preference and settle the debate at the dinner table.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Steak and Ale Pie
Slow-cooked beef braised in dark ale, encased in buttery shortcrust pastry. A proper plateful that pairs perfectly with mash and gravy.
B
Chicken and Mushroom Pie
Tender chicken and earthy mushrooms in a creamy white sauce, topped with golden puff pastry. A nostalgic favourite that never disappoints.
C
Cornish Pasty
Beef, swede, potato and onion wrapped in a crimped pastry parcel. Protected by PGI status and championed by the South West for good reason.
D
Pork Pie
Hot water crust pastry hugging seasoned pork and a layer of jellied stock. A Melton Mowbray icon best enjoyed cold with piccalilli.
E
Shepherd's Pie
Minced lamb simmered with vegetables and crowned with creamy mashed potato. The ultimate midweek comfort food on a cold British evening.
