Never understood why veggies dress food up as something they hate and tastes nothing like. See also vegan cheese which contains no dairy products. why bother?
Just to go off topic for a second, a vegan pie has won Supreme Champion at the Pie of the Year competition.Michelin starred chef Richard Corrigan had this to say of the curried sweet potato and butternut squash winner " “Please, please, I’m going to cry. Pies are supposed to be filled with the most delicious morsels of steak and liver and kidney, with the jelly and little pieces of fat in the middle delicately dripping onto your tongue. A vegan pie? Give me a break. The oldest culinary art form left in the world and the vegans have taken it away. It’s a disgrace.
“The millennials have taken over. It’s not a pie competition. It’s a pie in the sky competition. We should all just retire now.”
LoL well said Richard.
Forget Pies in a Can! Yuck!

Seriously, when I lived in the UK, I had a regular order every month - superb! In all my travels, never had better pies. I only wish I could get them now.

Agree about pies in a can, but some swear by them, personally, even as OP, nope.
As always for pies, Nigel takes some beating https://www.thepiecreator.co.uk

This isn't that though, it's just a spicy vegetable pie. I'm surprised they don't already do a cheese and onion pie.Coolbanana said:

Happy memories of a static caravan holiday in Cornwall in the early '80s with the future Mrs M, in an MG Midget with a dodgy alternator which had to be push started for the journey home, during which time we lived largely on Fray Bentos pies, tinned vegetables, and Vesta beef risotto.......
Sorry, I know it's a sign of the times, but vegetarian Fray Bentos pies just seem wrong to me.

You won't regret it and you can order then frozen so just stick them in the freezer and then 40min in the oven when you want one. I've tried them all, all brilliant. They've won awards for them over the years and it's a great 50 year old Family business. When I used to live in Pangbourne I never bought meat or pies anywhere else. When I moved, I ordered the frozen pies. Unfortunately, now I've moved too far to get them.
