The Steak and Ale Pies taste great! :-)

However, there's a problem.

The pastry isn't firm enough. It falls apart.(nice texture though)

This leads to the filling flowing out of the pie and into the foil tray, which leaves 2 tricky options.

Option 1. Slurp the filling out of the foil tray with your mouth knowing you will get the filling all over your mouth and face. :-?

Option 2. Rip the foil tray, slurp the filling out that way, and risk the filling falling onto your clothes and/or on to the floor.(a waste) :-(

My request.

I would be very gratefull if the company making the pies could make the pastry a little bit firmer.

This scientific study based on purchasing 2 pies. 1 against Spurs, and 1 against Villa.

That's all.

Thank you.

Ask 'em for a straw!

Ah, this thread made me chuckle. My mum was the catering manager at Maine Road throughout parts of the 1970's.
Balti? Steak and Ale???
Meat and potato (no, fair's fair. I did once find a sliver of corned beef in one) or meat (not 'beef' or 'pork' or 'chicken', just a rather vague 'meat') was the only choice back then... And you didn't get the tin foil, we sent those back to the bakery for re-use... Nor did you get a fork.
Holding a hot pie in a thin piece of paper in one hand, a Maxpax Bovril in the other, whilst crammed into the fluid dynamic of the Kippax must have been a real skill.

And I'd like to find that bastard Millwall fan who bought a hot tea off me and then threw it back in my face... He's probably 80 by now, so I could 'ave 'im.

I fancy that the meat has never roamed the planet on four legs!

Unless it had been wearing a collar with 'Tiddles' engraved on it.

Unless you survived football catering in the 70s & 80s you know nothing of hardship. I was queing at an away ground once, cant remember where and the bloke in front of me ordered a burger, the bloke serving coughed all over it while slapping in the onions and handed it over. I bought a kit Kat.

Did anyone hear Danny Wilson on radio 4. I only caught the end of the show but he was discussing the clubs thoughts on healthy eating/lifestyle for fans at the club. I'll see if it's on I player. Although I reckon it'll be initially an unpopular idea it again shows our forward thinking. God I love our club.

Last decent pie I had was about 20 years ago at Southampton away of all places when they played at the Dell.Went at half time to get me and my mate a steak pie and they were that gorgeous that I ate his aswell before I got back to the seats.Told him they had sold out.....kept giving me dirty looks for the rest of the game.
