Pies - serious rant.

[BilboBaggins]

I am going to give them a try as well when i can.

I looked into 'Farmdfoods' but they were 'Donalds' pies & i did not fancy wasting money on them.

So about to buy some Killie Pies in Troon.

They may last as long as getting a picture of them taken.

Untill then it will need to be a pic from a Light Breakfast earlier this year at my Favourite Bakers in Keith.

& a Bottle of 'Sangs' Moray cup.

Butteries, Rowies (under the counter full butter Butteries) & they do Smoked Sausage & chilli Bean Pies with cheese.

It was a cold day and i might have got snowed in

& i might have needed to survive till Tea time

George- might be able to save you some milage- Aldi in Forfar stock Killie pies- on back wall at about eye level

[BilboBaggins]

& from Dundee a 'Butter Biscuit' is a Bigger Bap with a shiny top, & some holes in a circle,

unless it is a 'Simmers' type 'Butter Biscuit',

which is just like a Biscuit, can be bought in Goodfellow & Stevens, Fishers and all good Bakers.

(for me if i ask my mum for a Biscuit, i expect a Ginger Snap or a Rich Tea.)

Now if i want a bit of Shortbread,

that will be her own & not 'Walkers Shortbread'.

(even tho her surname is Walker)

Minefield asking for various doughy treats in bakers shops outwith your own area- how may on here know what a Yum Yum is?

[domhnall]

I always thought baps was a word used as an alternative for 'boobs". Imagine my amusement when English supermarkets arrived (tesco and morrisons in the main) and started stocking the bakery section with baps alongside the morning rolls. :-)

In Aberdeen a roll is known as a softie, whereas if you ask for a roll you're likely to get a rowie.

Oh come on you're just making it up know :wonder:

Down here a yum yum is a sort of doughnut, but very greasy, baps are what you fill with a burger at a bbq

don't forget butteries!!

Nope. Yum yum is just what you said. But baps are what girls have under their jumpers that blokes don't.

And I would have a burger in a roll, but when I went to Aberdeen I discovered that there a roll is a flat, mega high calorie thing also known as a rowie or a buttery. And what I call a roll and you call a bap is known in Aberdeen as a softie. But then in Aberdeen The standard greeting is "fit like?". Rule of thumb is to translate w to f. So where becomes far, when becomes fan, and what becomes fit.

(I really am not making this up, and someone from aberdeen jump in and back me up)

When you shopped up here you used to get asked if you wanted 'a poke'.

Which was either foreplay with your girl or a plastic bag depending on the circumstance.

I am always amazes at the number of Aberdonians that try to get you to buy footwear. Every time i stop for directions I get the same reply - Furry boots is it ye want!!

If nothing else I've learnt not to visit an Aberdeen butchers and ask for some meat to go between my baps.

[VWD]

Just stop it now!

Pies then stovies, That's just getting a bit too much to bear.

But I've just had some plain bread toast which was magic.

STOP- that's too much .

[VWD]

If the pies are unknown and not very good they'll be "Scotch Pies", when these "Scotch pies" become nice tasting and popular will they become "Brit Pies"

Careful Auric, I'm waiting with a tame Haggis

I live just outside Coventry,and years ago when on the road as a service engineer, ( and within a fifty mile radius), the name for a roll/bap/batch changed evert ten miles .

With that ,George ,I may be allowed to go OT. Good few years ago ,I worked in Africa,close to the Limpopo river. We had a mix of races, all with their own tongues. Families of Boers talking Africaans/ Natives chanting away in Shona/ Locals & natives chuntering on in a mixed white/native tongue.

Then one day our mobile van service truck arrived. The mechanic was an exile from Buckie. I hail from a fishing village on the North West coast,and learned three languages - Broad Scots/East Coast blaver and English. For some days we had a field day, talking in East Coast . No body could understand us . And occasionally the sparky turned up. He hailed from Hamilton and spoke that fast that only I could understand him.

Sorry to spoil your thoughts, Daisy - if you asked for sausage- it would be square and sliced .

[VWD]

UPDATE - on a visit to Coventry ( bit far to get paint I know ,but mrs likes the water based gloss stuff, and only B & Q do it locally), we popped into nearby Morrisons to find Scotch Pies ,Square sausage and Norwegian style marinated herring strips. ( NOT roll mops) .

I've just bumped into this thread a bit late on;- the thicker slice version of plain bread - green wrapper is best, went to "a play, a pie and a pint" at the Traverse theatre last year, I chose a "mutton" pie and yes it was mutton and very very strong - not what I had expected, Forsyth's butcher in Peebles is where we buy "real" meat, on that subject, ie "meat", I've just, in my last trip to Italy, wised up to know what that term probably means in Italy - it usually means horse and/or donkey - beef gets called beef, pork gets called pork, so that means what is left is horse and donkey. In fact there are some resturants that specialise in dobbin and/or his daft mate! Finally, I can't understand why us Scots have not tried to claim lardy cake - sounds just like the sort of thing we might gorge ourselves on.

Very glad to find the Killie Pie given proper and due honour!

A prince among pies! - Even have a Steak and Haggis variant, but the original is the best.

Even our local Aldi sells them!

Any version of "Plain" bread is something our southern cousins would not apprecioate( Especially toasted). Tonight, my southern wife made me a version of Stovies. She uses sliced sausage ,with a sausage casserole mix, and potatoes. She 's now converted .But her dad came from Arbroath, so perhaps it's in the blood. I've just finished a half Scotch ( I call them Mutton ) pie. The wife perished the other half. And the pie was gorgeous. I could say the same thing about the wife, who's now getting slimmer by the day ,and is almost down to her marriage weight of over 40 years ago. So I'm a very lucky man.Found a shop selling Scotch pies /Beef Lorne & silsenade . It's like manna to the Jews.

Now you need to teach him how to make beef ham, so he can make beef olives!
