Steak and ale pies

>>7237307
Meat pies are shit tier, anon.

>>7237307
Looks tasty as.

>>7237348
no

>>7237348
it's actually god-tier you pleb

>>7237361
thanks, if this thread survives till tomorrow i'll post how tomorrow's steak and ale pie turns out, with better pics

>>7237364
Only a shit tier "cook", or a moron, would take a good piece of meat and hide it under some lard and flour.

>>7237307
Meat pies are GOAT. Gonna have to figure out how to make one one of these days.

>>7237391
I can see you've never had steak and ale pie

you sound like a lonely sad and bitter man who no one loves

Don't listen to the critics OP, meat pies are brilliant. It takes talent to make a truly delicious one.

>>7237391
That's why you use cheap cuts of meat and then enhance the flavour with gravy and delicious pastry.

>>7237391
You don't use a good piece of meat for steak and ale pie, you use the same kind of meat you would use for braising or making stew.

>>7237391
Wrong.
It can be cheap steak, slow cooked, whatever you want.
Also, I prefer butter pastry.

>>7237391
>inb4 you claim trolling/b8

Try half butter / half dripping pastry.

You sound like a poor person with no imagination and a shitty diet.
>>7237414
>>7237420

You're better off making a stir fry, a stew, or a curry, then a shitty meat pie with some disgusting lard/butter crust.

You all must be fat as hell.

>>7237461
Are you American?

>>7237486
He said curry so obviously he's not American.

>>7237461
fuck you're one pathetic piece of shit
>you should cook this and not that, trust me

the only thing that's fat here is the list of people that avoid you for being an obnoxious cunt who shits on everybody just so that no one notices how pathetic your life must be

>>7237486

Yes, cupcake.

>>7237497
Look, Nigel, just because I don't get excited about some poverty tier meat encased in a fat and flour mixture doesn't mean you need to get suicidal.

>>7237498
must be one of those "I'm better than everyone else here in america" american

>>7237489
Good point, but...

>>7237498
Figures.
Your opinion matters on a mongolian flesh light users board but ours don't.

>>7237504
No one cares if you get excited about it or not. So you don't like steak and ale pie. That's nice. Stop shitting up this thread and move on to a different one that interests you.

>>7237504
>all that edge
All you want is a debate.
Let's discuss delicious pies instead.

Anyone ever been to piefection?

>>7237521
All I'm trying to do is save some ignorant anon from wasting their time making a "delicious" meat pie.

Hell, taking that beef and making a burrito, or tacos, a stew, stir fry, or mincing it and making burgers or a ragu sauce are all better options than a nasty old meat pie.

this guy made some dope videos with all sorts of meat pies

>>7237536
A pie is kind of like a stew in handheld form.
All you're really trying to do is throw your opinion around. If someone doesn't like pie, then I'm sure they're capable of not clicking this thread.

>>7237536
Whether or not something is delicious is purely subjective. Something you think is nasty someone else may think is delicious and vice versa.

>>7237545
Expensive, sure but some of the flavours the creator (nice guy btw) comes up with are incredible.

sorry, anon but hey at least it's a subtle change from the anchovy pizza and jack threads.

I noticed that too, he thought asking at the end for comments on your favourite game of thrones character would suffice.

>>7237307
Looks like a nice Pie
It's a shame that it will be buried under Favorite Candy, Burgers, Pizzas,etc.

I thought a cooking board would be good but it's American trash food and brand name garbage.

Sad face!

>>7239697
How do you make that glorious meal. Even a basic step-by-step would be much appreciated.

I'm a college skellymon who wants to eat big and cook big, Give me ingredients and simple instructions and I will be supremely grateful, mate.

>>7237545
you're not going to make an owl pie are you?

>>7237307
Hey guys, Fatmerican here and I've always wanted to try some meat pies beyond frozen pot pies. Can someone point me to some authentic recipes?
Also why is this particular thing so hard to find here in the states?

>>7239959
Looks like onions, carrots, mushrooms, and meat. Looks like thyme on top. You can use parsley too.

You pretty much just make a stew, so you sear the meat (you can skip this, if you are lazy, or if you happen to have a broiler safe stew dish), then chop everything up, add it to a pot with some liquids (he's using beer and broth), and braise it in the oven until it's tender.

If the gravy is not thick enough, you can use flour or cornstarch. Then you just assemble your pie. You can and I would recommend baking the bottom crust first like with most pies, and then bake the whole thing until the crust is browned since the insides are already more than cooked through.

This article series is usually pretty good for a bit of background, examples of variations from different cookbooks and finally a compromise recipe.

I would suggest short rib instead if you can get your hands on it. Plus the bones mean you can make your own stock if you care.

>>7239984
No they're better eaten like ortolans

>>7240021
Nice, very thorough, thanks!
>cocoa
That's odd.

>>7240000
>Also why is this particular thing so hard to find here in the states?

Because it's like any given American stew, but blander, and instead of being served with bread, corn bread, or rolls, it's either covered with, or served in, an equally bland and tasteless pie crust.

Thank you both very much. I will certainly give this a try.

>>7240077
But stew is delicious. Pie crust is delicious. And pies can be portable. I still don't get it, this could be big, why isn't it?

I don't like pies where it's just a bowl of stew with a pastry lid. I don't know why I'm so mad at this but I am.

>>7240107
What about mashed potato as a lid?

>>7240107
I don't consider shepherds/cottage pie real pies so it doesn't bother me (though I like them).

>>7240091
>Pie crust is delicious.

Bread, corn bread, and rolls are tastier though, anon.

>>7237535
>wagyu beef
>ruining it by cooking it with wife beater

For what purpose?

>>7240195
I used to think the same, then I actually had decent pie crust. It's rare, but it exists.
I hate 99.9999% of pie crusts, but when it's done well it's better than any other baked good in the role it serves.

Noice, looks pretty good.
Pies in the city often hover around change from 5 anyway for ordinary shit, so if there's a bit more effort in i wouldn't say no to paying more.
Fuck Stella though, might as well just go full banana bender and marinate it in XXXX for all the difference it would make.

You sure baited a lot of people. I thought pretending to be a retard had lost its power.

>>7237536
You know how I can tell you're only pretending to be American for shitposting bait? Twice you have used words that Americans never would.

>>7241823
His lamb shank pie is the best of all and its around $6. Expensive but so good and a quarter pounder meal or half decent burger is $12+ these days anyway.
Agree bout the Stella though.

>>7241941
Was one of them "mincing"?

>>7237586
Oh I don't even want to look after seeing the name.

Does he do the American thing and assume a pork pie is just a pie with pork in it instead of a very specific type of pie?

I once watched his Yorkies video and he is foodwishes.com levels of retard who doesn't have a clue about what he is making or even how to pronounce the name correctly and in that vile attitude say he can make a traditional recipe any way he wants like the inbred globule of lard that he is?

>>7239986
If rule 3 was ever enforced then there would be no clappyfats on this board. Mods please do it.

>>7240000
Pies in the colonies are a weird thing. You brought them over with the British settlers and couldn;t make apple pies any more due to apples not being native to America. So you had to plant the apple seeds and wait years for them to yield fruit, you did that and then started to make apple pies again, yet for all of that waiting you simply stopped making any other type of pies.

It's confusing.

>>7240077
Are you still here shitposting? How sad is your life?

>>7240914
I don't understand this reference.

>>7241963
Me too.

>>7241963
I assume he means cricket, as KFC is a major cricket sponsor in Ausfaglia and he's rather a traditional meat pie.
I think.

Any pasty man in?

>>7245398

>>7241949

>Chef John
>doesn't have a clue

>>7245533
He really doesn't for the reasons I stated. He fucks up some basic recipes, can't even pronounce them correctly and makes recipes with all sorts of retarded changes while calling them traditional. He is an arrogant retard.

>>7237307
Need to see the inside

The secret is the gravy. Too many times I've had a Steak pie and it was dry as a fucking bone inside.

>>7245580
>it was dry as a fucking bone inside.
How? Where did you get them from for them to not have gravy?
