Pie in a batch

[Vyse]

I heard this from a friend a while back. But is it really true that Northerners like to eat pies inside of a burger batch? If so why?

Think our OP may be a midlander. It's a bap/bun, I'd never heard the term til I moved to Coventry.

No worse for you than a wurly burger in Dublin - a batter burger in a bap with all the trimmings.

What kind of pie aand do you butter the bread?

This is one of those Southern Fairy myths about Northern Monkies.

Take Sheffield for instance - you don't see the average bin man or office worker walking down High Street eating pies encased in bread buns, dipping it in a vat of graaaaaaavy whilst donning a flat cap and walking a whippet.

More of a blue-collar combo than a North/South thing.

I've heard that savaloy pies on sourdough are big right now in East Sussex!

It is no myth, I;m afraid. Pies in a bap were a pretty big thing where I was brought up and many of the school kids had them for their lunch.

It was nearly always a meat and potato pie and often had a layer of sauce too. It was called a pie butty and if it had ketchup it was a pie butty red and pie butty brown was with HP sauce.

There was a documentary about pound shops on recently and in one of the episodes of that two of the staff went outside for their lunch which consisted of them putting a chip shop type pie into a bun. Never heard of it till I saw it on there.

Bread has to be buttered, Steaks good as you get the gravy with it, something moist as Peter Kay would say

2nd option chicken and mushroom
