Re: Pies, pies and more pies
Linda, It is quite difficult to discus various food items when so many insist that the British way of speaking and naming items is the one, and only way, and that Americans are little more than backward children who need the school master's stick to get us back in line. I have never understood that kind of arrogance.I even had one poster who said that America had to be taught how to cook by Gordon Ramsey and without his guidance we would still be cooking over an open fire like cave dwelling savages.

No one is insisting one way is correct .. because for both it is correct to them.
If anyone is arrogant it is you. When you've got uppity you've dragged in, on various threads, digs about the British Empire and WW2 etc etc ...
Which have nothing to do with food.
Just accept the difference. No one is challenging American world supremacy over a biscuit or a cookie.
Chill Bakerman and don't take differences as a personal slight or an act of war against the USA.
I think you could have had a great discussion over foods going here without feeling the need to bivouac in the self-mod section.
Surely the common denominator should have been about the mutual enjoyment of food preparation and exchange of recipes ?

Have you ever had a Scotch Pie?
I did but then I grew up in Scotland. Our local chippy had them. Local was six miles away.

Dont say this:
"No one is insisting one way is correct .. because for both it is correct to them."
You don't know what "others" are meaning..
You did the same thing to me but I let it go because I like you...
Now, stop taking sides in every argument on here, and go back to being the "peace maker", it looks better on you Mort......
IMHO, I think Bakerman is an asset to this forum and I have watched how some people try to discourage him at every corner, running down the Americans, etc etc etc.
Bakerman, it is hard (VERY HARD) to get accepted on OFF, you have to fight your way through the mobs day after day, before they finally accept you....hang in there, it gets easier after a while....

Re: Pies, pies and more pies
Bakerman,When my son was home and I was working, I would sometimes have to make a quick pie and didn't have any crust in the freezer. There was a "quicky" I made in a hurry.
I put all the ingredients in a bowl, mixed it all up together, put it in the pie plate and baked it. Came out a great little custard pie with a crust on the bottom and a delicious custard.
I know it wasn't the best pie in the world, but it worked for my son and his friends in a pinch.
Have you ever heard of this? And if so, would you mind giving me the recipe?
