As it is National Pie Week (1st - 7th March) and I make an inordinate amount of pies which I sell at Farmers Markets, I was wondering if anyone had any recipies which shall we say were a little left of centre?

The pies I produce are:

Cold Cutting Pies, which as it happens are fantastic eaten hot - but I would say that wouldnt I.

> Pheasant and Apricot
> Wild Duck and Quantro (sorry I know its the wrong spelling)
> Mixed Game with port soaked sultanas / cranberries
> Pork and local apple
> Pork and smoked Bacon
> Venison and Port
> Chicken and cider

Hot cooking pies are mainly as above.

I would be interested in ANY pie recipe both sweet and savory.

What is a Pie - Is shepards / cottage pie a pie? - Do you have to have pastry around the pie or does it just sit on the top? - whats American Pie?

A topic of its own I suppose................


Here are a few to be going on with!

Cheshire pork and apple pie
Fidgety Pie-(bacon and potato)used at harvest when people came in from the fields
Squab Pie -(as above but add some lamb)
Katt Pies-mutton with currants
Sausage and mushroom
chicken and tarragon
steak and chestnut
veal and ham
Wiltshire pie -(bacon,sausage and cheddar)
pigeon pie-(layer pig breast and sausage meat in short crust)
Salmon and ginger with currants(fab-from The Hole In the Wall ,Bath)

Vegetarian(a food usually improved by a pork chop_)
Apple and onion -savoury
cheese and walnut
curried vegetable
Florentine Tart-(Elizabethan-curd cheese and spinach)
Homity Pie(cheese and spud)
mushroom and bacon
pear and stilton
onion tart
Tamar Pie(leeks,bacon and cream)
Tomato and cheese
If you want any sweet let me know

Welsh Wizzard, first have to thankyou for the pork pie recipie, ( Kevin in America ). Also got the chance to make a Steak/Kidney and Ale Pudding while I was over. Actually used some ale that I brought at Ludlow market. Turned out great.

Hi Atlantakev

Really pleased you found the site and hope the pork pie recipe turns out to your liking.

This is nothing short of a brilliant site. The people here are so helpful and it is awash with recipes, hints and tips to assist anyone from the amatur to the professional.

Look forward to chatting soon and if you are back in Ludlow give us a shout, you have my card.

Cheers WW
