Butter Pies

[janeb]

You can't get em in a lot of the north, so why there'd be a demand in London I dunno, Like Yarkshire doesn't have em, or cumbria, so why would Lodnod?

You can't get them in the NE, or at least I've never found them Always have one when I'm back in Preston mind, they are wonderful

I've not read through the whole thread but Morrisons do lovely butter pies so where there's a Morrisons there's butter pies

There izza Fleet Ov independant bakers in Bolton who make and sell butter pies, a coupla the shops well out by 11am and no wonder their butter pies are incredibly lovely

this thread warms my heart.

Ive just had me second reduced price butter pie, was gonna save it til Tomoz but I didnt fancy churning guts, outta date pies are an unknown quantity

They will be - I don't eat normal pies, but a potato-based pie sounds lush --- shame it's so regionally-specific that I can't get one in London. Surely there must be a northern 'ex-pat' in London who might do butter pies for people who miss them?

That sounds like a great idea for a small business:Wrysmile's Northern Food Emporium, for all your butter pie/tripe/chips and gravy needs.

The problem is that butter pies are just boring to a certain extent. Compared to the spicy flavours of the West Indian pattie, for example, they're strictly second grade.

It's like a potato pie... but with butter you say. Cor blimey - stone the crows, you'll have to hold my excitement back...

Rationing's over Northern folks. You don't have to be excited over butter again...

I remember my mum's spice rack consisting of baking soda, salt and pepper I had to leave home to try curry...

I think butter is a damn sight more tasty than eels in jelly or the Lambeth Walk, so I think your wrong.

Butter more tasty than eels? You're having a blinking laugh.

Tastes better perhaps, but more tasty? - not a chance. Eels are grim, but distinctively grim and strong. And you haven't tasted my Lambeth Walk either. And I'm not even a cocker-nee...



The point is that London takes in the best food from around the world. Jerk and escoveitch seasonings from the Windies, Oyster sauce from the Orient, Kielbasa and other Polish specialities of late. And so on - the world's finest produce and favourite home-cooking comes here and is assimilated and celebrated where appropriate.

Think a flat-capped Northerner bringing some butter in a common-old potato pie is going to shock the capital of Blighty. Not a bleeding chance...

No life up North?

Know life, up North!

Btw... I'm embarassed to say I've never heard of butter pies until this thread despite living in Radcliffe and going to Bolton/Bury frequently to various pubs!

 

[moose]

We have better curries, though

Fair point -

Course, there's no clever forigners ooop north, just miles of mill stacks and rolling moorland, with occaisional young boy flying a kestral and hollow eyed flat capped men on th'way home from't mill, to their wives who've been scrubbing the doorstep, whilst Geoff Boycott scores yet another century and the trams clank along..

The point is, we don't need a million flavours from all over the globe to make a delicacy - cos we're better at cooking innit...

You can keep your ethno fusion post food experience... There's good simple proper food and there's pretentious pseudo lifestyle food.

My mum is trying to get more with the times-you may have noticed that last time we were there, dinner was tagliatelle with a jar of curry sauce over the top

Wow- urban can turn butter pies into a political issue. This places rocks

Never heard of them, never noticed any particularly 'local' cuisine in Leeds, despite having lived here on and off for 10 years. My mother-in-law (from Blackburn) likes tripe though That is fucking wrong.

Excuse me enchanting and quint sounding northerners, but how would one go about making a butter pie? I have my Northern paramour coming to use the bath and point at planes tomorrow and would like to suprise him with something not incorporating sunblush tomatoes.
I have pastry. I have butter. I have mashed potato. Just bung it all together?
