Your favourite growler
I know there's a lot of pie eaters post on here so what's you favourite one apart from humble pie?
I'm partial to a butter pie ,closely followed by a Kate and Sydney pie.

Butter pie for standard pie-eating purposes and if I’m in a pub on a winters day then a nice cheesy, leeky, potatoey type thing.

Re: Your favourite growler
Mannings Meat & Potatoe pies in the late 70s were very good,latterly not so good,Cordey's in Waterfoot another that deserves a mention,not sure if they still bake though,the Meat & Potatoe pies in Scotland are a weird concoction of meat,with a topping of mashed potato.....topped with Baked Beans.....Weird

Re: Your favourite growler
They don't do decent pies in Scotland. Meat pies are full of some glutinous mutton based stuff. There are also oddities as described and of course, macaroni pies.
Have lived here since 1992 but regularly smuggle pies back over the border following trips south. Take the Blacko-Gisburn-Long Preston route to the road from Skipton to Kendal to minimise motorway driving and divert to a fantastic bakers in the tiny village of Endmoor to stock up. Such a small place the bakers is the only shop, so it must be very good.
Never been caught during my covert pie smuggling operations yet.
Meat and potato, to answer the question.

Drake and Macefield take a lot of beating for their Porky Pies (and most other meat based products) Butchers in Settle Market place and on Otley St in Skipton ... we had a lunch (after interring our kids ashes in LP churchyard) on Wednesday of D&M pork pie and Sausage Roll with home made Veggy Soup absolutely scrummy .

Re: Your favourite growler
Rarely in Ingleton Ac ... but I have had stuff from there in the past and very good it is too ...
There used to be a good family Butcher in Saltaire/Shipley on Bradford Rd, used to get some stuff there when I was working over Bradford way Locksmithing. But we were through that way a few weeks ago and its gone ... People need to use family Butchers and keep them going ... you cannot beat a good local butcher

Yep, agree with that BC.

Re: Your favourite growler
I thought a ‘growler’ was the term for an individual meat pie and not any other flavour?
I stand to be corrected though…..

On a visit to Burnley we went to Cissy Green's (was it Haslingden?), the MRS didn't like the greasy stuff so she poured it out on the pavement and created a bit of a slick, but even she had to admit they were excellent pies despite the grease

Re: Your favourite growler
many moons ago when I was attending Halifax tech college we used to nip out around 10 and get meat and potato pies , no idea what the shop was called, and the lunchtime up to the chinese chippy for curry sauce and chips, exciting times

I enjoyed my Holland's peppered steak pie on the match v Palace, and it didn't give me heartburn either.
Which was nice.

Many moons ago when I was attending Halifax tech college on day release we used to nip out for lunch to the snooker hall and go back after the 5pm break. Needless to say most of us did not finish the course.
On the pie front, if in the Stoke area go to a Wrights bakery, we always get some meat and potato pies for the freezer when we are down that way.

Well marketed perhaps, but not the best, nor indeed even in the top-3 just in Skipton

I do enjoy a Butchers/Bakers Meat and Potato pie but if we are dining out in a decent pub, it has to be Cheese and Onion.

Not a fan of Cissy Greens. Haffners are decent enough for the price they charge, but the best pies in Burnley are from the little butty shop next to Queensgate bus depot.

Re: Your favourite growler
Correct calling it a Growler in these parts Con.
Sharon Stone flashed her clout, not a growler.
I do like a Whitesides pork and apple. But you can't beat a good meat and tatie (pronounced taytee) and some of the best ones I ever had was on t'Turf in the late 80's, still don't know who supplied them.

Re: Your favourite growler
Growler was a very old manc saying - dogs eye= pie = growler,though I’ve heard it all over . While butchers pies always the best , of the over counter stuff I’d give a passable shout for Pukka, and Hollands as a good basic “ you know where you are “ pie. Haffners always a decent pie. As for Fray Bentos… Jesus wept! They should have stayed in the 70’s with Vesta curries , Smash and Findus “ crispy “ pancakes
