What’s your favourite pie.
Just recently there was a top ten printed somewhere that I obviously wouldn’t know because I’m not that much obsessed with the wonderful food type of pie. 
I’m looking for those mentioned that was on it.
Also, I don’t mind a bit of controversy…. A fish pie?
Also, mushy peas is the only way to eat a meat and potato.  |

I'm really sorry to sound boring but I love a traditional and robust Shepherds Pie. It simply evokes the longing and anticipation of Autumn and everything Autumnal. When it's perfectly made you only need a smidgen of hearty gravy.
Eat it besides the log fire until the embers die down, wash it down with a fine red or mulled wine and then walk it off with a gentle stroll against the bracing breeze.
I'll shut up now. |

"I think you’re right Woody, meat and potato pie and mushy peas, glorious."
This is a staple of any man who has watched a lower league football match.  |

Couldn't agree more. Swap the red wine with a nice pint of Guinness though. |

I’m partial to a proper steak and ale. But, as has been said above by some wise contributor, pastry has to be on’t’bottom ‘n’all.
None of this stew with a lid nonsense.
Apple pie for pud. With custard. |

Chicken, leek and bacon is peerless.
I make one from a Tom Kitchin recipe. It has all the most amazing, unhealthy ingredients - white wine, cream, bacon lardons and a good whack of tarragon.  |

There's so many pie's to choose from, all got their different textures and tastes, I like most of them to be honest, I'm going to say minced beef and onion for me and I know the mister likes a steak and kidney one. |

"Baked Alaska pie
I generally think only steak has any business being in a pie. The one concession being Baked Alaska. Agreed, that's a great pie. "
Now she knows when a pie is a good pie, steak and Alaskan , |

"Banoffee pie
End thread "
Number 1 
This was number one. You can’t just call something a pie and it becomes a pie! 
It’s a crime that this beat a steak pie.
And no chicken in the top ten? Pfft. This is why I should have my own competition.
*please send pie pics to my inbox. |

I was going to add that once you've finished kicking the leaves from that Autumnal stroll there's nothing better than a Fig & Cinnamon Pie, served with a Spiced Rum Crème Anglaise.
End the evening with a smug-inducing glass of barrel-aged Port. |

"Not a fan of pies really. But I can't say that out loud round here
I revoke my earlier compliment
I'll accept cottage pie?! I find pastry pies/pasties too stodgy  "
Woah woah woah woah woah!
Pies, fine. We can agree to disagree.
But don't be bringing pasties down! |

I'm okay with pastry if it's got custard or apples in it somewhere |

You see, the word “Pie” immediately brings sweet connotations to me. Delicious sweet fruit pie.
Cherry or American Apple Pie (can’t stand tart Bramley apples, sorry!  ) the the British winning addition? Lashings of custard!
If it is savoury pies we are talking, then a delish cottage pie… |

Someone who’s talking sense here.
What could be better than a good cottage pie with apple pie and custard for pudding |

The most important part is, it needs to be homemade. By someone who can cook obviously. The filling, gravy, pastry ratio has to be bang on.
I do hate a dry pie ( )
Steak mushroom & ale
Chicken with tarragon
Also cottage pie is one of my favourite foods. It really is a gentle hug of a meal.
And pork pie…. Yes please.
