As much fuss as been made here on the forum over the myriad beloved Farang foods we make an effort to find, I don't see one on pies. Frankly I'm shocked. I'd assume at least all of those from the UK have a favorite places to grab a pie as much as they do to find a proper Sunday Roast.

Please point me towards your favorite eateries and you favorite varieties of pies. Whose should I really try ?

Not all UK expats hanker after a sunday roast or the poor pies offered here.

But you could always buy a nice leg of lamb (New Zealand) from Makro at a fraction of the price offered in R..ping supermarkets.

Slow roast in a slow cooker for about three to four hours....add roast potatoes from the oven...a few vegetables ( steamed in the microwave) of your choice plus add the gravy from the potatoes and slow cooker with a bit of OXO and flour to thicken the gravy......a touch of mint sauce for the lamb....and hey presto....!!

A personal recipe for you.

Sounds Ok....try it

As for pies .....too much fat and glutton ...up to you...personal choice.

Hope that helps..rolleyes.gif

The U.N. does good quality pies imo. I saw it mentioned here previously... they might be "bought ins".

Also i had a good home made one at a place on Thapae Road at a place named Jeffs? Place.

The problem with Pies is the pastry.

You need Lard to make good pastry.

I have been told by Two of the Local Brit pie makes you cannot obtain lard at economical prices in Thailand.

I was laughed off the Issan section of this board when I repeated that tale.

I have a pie make in Buri Ram who makes excellent pastry for his pies tho I am not happy with his fillings.

Millions of pigs are slaughtered every Year/Month ? in Thailand, this is the source of lard or so I am told.

Charlie of Fish & Chips fame did a reasonable pie, his father was a baker in UK during the second war and Knew how to do it.

Kasem do good pies, when fresh and warm but they are Microwave sensitive.

UN Irish do a good pie, I cannot say if they 'Travel' home.

I considered the Aussei Lady Pies from Rimping the best available in CM.

Villa in Hua HIn had some decent pies, names slip my mind.
