What's your favourite pie?

home made steak and sausage pie, but have to try and make pastry soggy bottom for others and crisp top for me

I just like pies - any pies, sweet or savoury. As long as the pastry is lush, and no soggy bottoms, I’m happy.

Hot apple pie with honeycomb ice-cream melting on top for my sweet pie
Steak and ale with puff pastry top for my savoury served with cheese mash.

I love chicken and bacon pie made with paprika and a dash of white wine topped with filo pastry so not too calorific. It is a recipe from one of the Hairy Bikers diet books.

Okay, I am unusual, but I just don’t see the point of pastry, boring and unhealthy.
Consequently the only pies I enjoy are topped with potato.
A really good fish pie is my favourite followed by shepherd’s pie.

I'm not a massive pastry fan so its fish pie for me like my granny used to make, & apple crumble for pud. I do like the odd bridie though from time to time

As a non meat eater my favourite pie is cheesy pie, very very cheesy with a salad. Mmmmm

Game pie, but it's so calorific I don't indulge very often!

Home made apple pie,pastry made with some ground almonds.

cheese and onion, not that I bake, shop bought only. I also like lemon meringue pie, apple pie. Although not a pie my fave desert is Raspberry Pavlova.

Made chicken and leek pie earlier in the week, but my favorite is fish pie, with a mixture of cod, smoked haddock and salmon plus the addition of uncooked prawns (they cook with the pastry) - I made 3 yesterday, one to wat and two for the freezer.

And bilberry, though I haven’t had one for years.
When I was young I used to pick bilberries - 'enough for a pie', please, said Mum.
That took a very long time as they're so tiny but well worth the effort.

When my mother was alive and still in her own home we used to take her out once a week to her local pub.
The chicken pie was absolutely delicious and I chattered the chef up for the recipe.
They would roast several chickens, make really good stuffing and good well flavoured gravy/sauce from the carcasses.
This was then layered up, white meat, dark meat and stuffing with gravy/sauce in shortcrust pastry.
At the time, served with veg and choice of potatoes it cost under a fiver.
This was in a mining area, we lived ,as we still do, in Cheshire and I told him he could charge almost double in our locals.

though I have never made one it has to be Blueberry pie and preferably from an old fashioned American diner!

It was my Nans famous (in the family) cheese and onion pie. Delicious when hot, even better served cold. Full of sliced cheese and onion, lovely light pastry, mine have never tasted as good.

My own game pie which obviously is a seasonal one, made with any game I can get, usually with a blackberry jus. At other times my chicken & ham pie.

Savory-wise, Meat and Potato, though I do make a meat-free version occasionally (just can't get the 'clagginess' right...).

As for a sweet pie, I prefer Apple, though Lemon Meringue runs it close.

I sometimes make a chicken, leek and mushroom, which is nice, but favourite is probably cherry pie - last made with 3 tins of black cherries and some of the juice thickened with cornflour.

Whitewavemark I hadn’t thought of a pasty.
So I have eaten one in the last 30 years after all . Rick Stein’s smoked haddock ones from his deli were delicious the last time we were in Padstow .

Pasty for me. As a child on school holidays we always took a pasty to the beach and ate it still warm from being cooked that morning.

We would pick blackberries on the way home and next day have blackberry and apple pasty cut in half stuffed with clotted cream and the odd bit of sand.

Heaven!

Just about any fruit pie. A peach pie, still warm, with a little vanilla ice cream? I'm in heaven.

Meat pies always seem soggy to me. Maybe I just haven't had a good one.

I feel hungry just reading about these yummy pies. I rarely make them even though we have a pie maker. I like a lemon meringue and also an apple pie and sometimes I buy an individual pepper steak pie if we are out somewhere. Haven’t seen a gooseberry in years, I don’t think they have them here.

I make a pretty good chicken and ham pie ever since I had one of the Great North Pie Co’s at a Christmas Fair. It was the best I’d ever tasted, but they’re not local to us, so I’ve to do the best I can by adding the same herbs to the mix as they do.

If we’re eating out, I usually plump for a steak and ale. And as for sweet pies, I love gooseberry, plum or bramble. And bilberry, though I haven’t had one for years.

Apple pie with a touch of cinnamon; and real custard.

Steak and ale pie with good puff pastry.
Lemon meringue pie as long as it's tangy and not sweet.

But I wouldn't say no to any of the ones mentioned on the thread, except I'm not keen on cheese with meat.

She also made gooseberry fool with cream. I think she must have had a glut of gooseberries!
I make that, Gagagran, it's a family favourite.
No pastry though, dare we mention it on here?
