Scotch Pies and Chips

@Ineeddentures - It's not so easy to check if it's a true declaration and then it could have been an "award winning" decades ago, but they are still allowed to mention it.

I suppose we.coukd ask the seller to give us exact details of when the award was given and who by

@LadyDuck I remember going to a Chip shop a lot of years ago and had an award winning Scotch Pie Then a few years later I went back and the Pie was rubbish I told the owner he should take the award down as it was misleading He asked why I told him the pie I had just eaten wouldn't have ever won an award He was visibly upset

It's a pie case with a lid filled with Mutton, Rusk, and lard basically Also some people do it with beef

@Ineeddentures Mutton, if I remember correctly, is sheep. Not sure what rusk is. I guess I'd have to taste one to get the gist of it.

@porwest Mutton is sheep Rusk is a sort of filler that can bond the meats and fats together

@Ineeddentures yes

Oh yes I have heard of Pecan Pie Loads of good recipes for it online.

@LeaPea2417 I thought I had seen a Pecan Pie in a store I must check it out again

@Ineeddentures It's a bit suss (suspect) really.

Same here. Who would have thought there would be so many pie competitions

@JudyEv We had about 3 world champion scotch pies within 20 miles of us.

@Ineeddentures Almost like pasties!

Come to Scotland Try a Scotch Pie in a bakery in every place you visit They will all be different

@Ronrybs Probably. Do they have world champion pasties as well?

@Ineeddentures I only had mutton once in my life; and it was in a soup. Had to look up the definition of rusk.

@LindaOHio Rusk is like a product they put in so they use less expensive stuff like mutton lol

They have mutton and spices and rusk and hopefully a lot of fat in them Linda.

Yes It's like that here as well. Pies like this are more a snack than a dinner

@Ineeddentures I have never had mutton, just an occasional lamb chop. I had a lambburger once. I didn't like it

@snowy22315 I had a Lamb Shank the other day

Spicy mutton, rusk, pepper, lard, Yum

You would like one of these. Award winners No idea what award they got.

@Ineeddentures I like a Guiness meat pie, haven't tried any others.

@Ineeddentures interesting. BTW I will let you know what I think of HP Sauce when i finally order it,

@RasmaSandra Now HP Sauce and Scotch Pie is awesome. Honestly

Well It's a pie With a spicy minced mutton filling

Chips please lol With Salt and Vinegar on them Cooked in Lard or Beef dripping is preferred Sadly ours were Oven Chips cooked on Air Fryer Not the best. You will probably never eat a Scotch pie unless you come to Scotland.

@Ineeddentures

Come to Scotland buddy Every Scotch Pie maker claims they have won an award We even have a world champion Scotch Pie The world is Scotland

Oh dear. You need to eat an award winning pie before you die.

It was indeed very good my friend..
