I meant stotties, not pies.

I have tried Holland's pies a few times before and always thought they were crap, so I just buy them from t'bakery instead.

The secret lies in what you fill it with. If you want the true northern experience then go for pease pudding. But anything that tastes good in a sandwich will be good in a stottie. It also helps to use a good local organic white flour. You get a lot more bread per serving with a stottie than with a regular sandwich - important if you are trying to feed a large family on a miners wage (back in the days when we had miners)

haha this is becoming quite funny

now i like fish and chips

never tried any british pies

but i do like cabbage another hit in england

People seem to like Holland's pies. I think they are ok but prefer ones from a bakery, my favourite flavours being steak and kidney or cheese and onion. To all you Brits out there, do any of you like Pukka pies? They are mainly found in the south and they are absolutely gorgeous! They are the one thing I miss from the south of england. I now live back in the north and you can't find them anywhere here. I love pasties too, either the cornish ones or the cheese and onion ones. There is a pie shop round the corner from me and they do butter pies which is basically a pie filled with very buttery mashed potato, these are delicious.

I've had them. They're alright I s'pose, nowt special. Meat and potato pie is still better.

I like vegetable pasties ...

What about hotpot with dumplings? And what about Yorksire Pud?!? *drools*

What like a big roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings (yummmmmmmmm) or a roast dinner inside a huge yorkshire pudding is always tasty.

Or a big roast dinner with yorkshire puddings, two pasties and a bag of chips (all inside another giant yorkshire pudding)

Or a big steak with carrots and mashed potatoes. Or neck-end of lamb on potatoes.

Or cheesy bacon surprise. A family thing, this - Cheddar cheese mixed with sauteed (fried) bacon and leeks and then layered with some parboiled potatoes - then it takes about 45 minutes in the oven then bon appetit!

Ugh not the latter!! ! By the time you've eaten the inside, it'd be all soggy ... bleurgh! (Sensory integration - can't stand soggy things which aren't supposed to be soggy ... lik dipping bread in soup - that's just horrific!)

What is pease pudding?

That's especially good. Nice big fat slice of buttered bread dipped in homemade chicken soup. Mmm.

BeeBee: Pease pudding.

Can't believe no ones mentioned chuffin' OATCAKES from stoke on "chuffin'" trent

pease pudding = smashed veggies.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooookay.

what is christmas pudding

It's like some people have never heard of Wikipedia. Or Google.

Google search for 'christmas+pudding'

Christmas pudding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Incidentally, I had bacon chop and mash for tea and it were grand as owt.
