Everything in the god tier for me, apart from Chicken tikka masala. Pie and mash floats above them all, though.1

Roast dinner is only as good as the stock on it and the meat - the rest of it without is just bland1

Controversial. Nothing on a roast dinner should be bland if it's prepared, cooked and seasoned properly.Elthamaddick said:Roast dinner is only as good as the stock on it and the meat - the rest of it without is just bland3 -

I don't get a Ploughman's.
Surely it's just a ham, cheese and pickle sandwich that they can't be arsed to put together for you and you have to do it yourself?

Crumpets, a bit of butter them peanut butter (crunchy not smooth) is pretty close to perfection when you are in the right mood.1

Scotch egg with black pudding inner coating and a runny egg. heaven.5

Manzes is the business. As for soggy, don't listen to those that say to flip the pies over. Always crusty side up. Fork, spoon and a glass of sarsaparilla

Scotch eggs are a bit like cornish pasties - most are a bit dry and rubbish, but a good one (and I agree on the runny yolk) is top notch.Karim_myBagheri said:Scotch egg with black pudding inner coating and a runny egg. heaven.1 -
I do like a ploughmans, on a summers day, in a beer garden, in a Kentish pub and off the beaten track.North Lower Neil said:I don't get a Ploughman's.

yeah, i made the mistake of having a Ginsters Cornish Pasty yesterday. Dry and hardly any filling. Get it from a proper bakery (preferably in Cornwall) and it can be divine.North Lower Neil said:

Never trust something calling itself a pie, that doesn't have pastry. Cottage and Shepards Potato Efforts need taking down a peg or two for their sheer insolence.7

The early and correct way to cook these pies is to also put mashed potato on the bottom and sides of the pie dish, before putting the filling in and covering with more potatoStig said:Never trust something calling itself a pie, that doesn't have pastry.

Don't get me started on pies with just pastry on top.Stig said:Never trust something calling itself a pie, that doesn't have pastry. Cottage and Shepards Potato Efforts need taking down a peg or two for their sheer insolence.
Just a stew trying to pass itself off as a pie.4 -

Completely agree - I think a roast dinner is massively overrated - I would have curry over a roast all day longElthamaddick said:Roast dinner is only as good as the stock on it and the meat - the rest of it without is just bland2 -
Absolutely - pie, mash & liquor is bloody awful - hyped up East End nonsensebobmunro said:Big_Bad_World said:

I don't care if you are a lord or a lady, you've overstepped the mark by some distance. I also like jellied eels but would go for the stewed variety with pie and mash.Lordflashheart said:

I'm just a very simple creature with both simple and extravagant tastes.
To be fair, I understand why people don't like eels. I'll never understand how anyone dislikes pie and mash. 2 -

F*** me, that’s an uninspiringly bland list of foods. No wonder other nations mock our culinary delights.9

Also very partial to a drive to Leigh-on-Sea and, every now and again, a trip to Aldeburgh.1 -
Wrong unNorth Lower Neil said:
Unpopular opinion from me as a Londoner: Pie and mash is bang average, really bland.stoneroses19 said:Pie and mash has to be a lot higher than that surely. Can tell that list has been made by younger generation, as most of the crap tier are things that were more popular in the past.
Basically 90% of other pies, served with gravy, are better than the traditional pie, mash and liquor. Give me steak and ale over it any day.7 -
Careful. Not sure 'mock' is the right word to use as it evokes anti-British nationalism in those from other shores.AddickUpNorth said:F*** me, that’s an uninspiringly bland list of foods. No wonder other nations mock our culinary delights.1
