Pie and Mash

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

From the ‘West Ham Travel Match Pack’:

“Avoid the ‘Pie and Mash with Liquor’. Most locals steer well clear of it except to prove their cockney worth, ie, Danny Baker types.”

What absolute rubbish. I am by no means a local, and am quite comfortable with having absolutely no cockney worth whatsoever, but Pie and Mash with Liquor is The Food Of The Gods. All the people packed into Goddards Pie and Mash shop by the Cutty Sark in Greenwich every Saturday lunchtime, and the ones queuing out the door, will back me up on this as they tuck into £2.60 worth of culinary comfort.

Ignore the ill-informed comments if you’re going to West Ham and let Liquor into your life. You won’t regret it.

Absolutely! Goddards in Greenwich is a culinary delight, along with Menzies in Deptford High St. Pie, double mash, a great big ladle full of liqour, all drenched in loads of pepper and chilli vinegar... all for a couple of quid. Top artery blocking scenes!!

Mmm-mmmm. I'll have a big bowl of that please.

It's not really parsley sauce - I'd say that was white sauce with parsley that you'd have with fish. It's more like a kind of parsley gravy...

Mushy peas?

*Homer Simpson-style drooling* Oooh that takes me back. Haven't been up that neck of the woods since a customer of mine moved from Creek Road out to Sevenoaks a few years ago. Haven't had decent green gravy since.

Abso-bloomin'-lutely

It looks like snot with parsely in it, but tastes bloody great. If you don't fancy it, they always offer regular gravy as an alternative. Complete menu is something along the line of

Pie and Mash
2 pie and mash
Pie and double mash
2 pie and double mash
Cheese and Onion pie (for the veggies!)
Sausages
Something horrible involving eels

Liqour
Gravy

Deserts...
Spotted Dick and Custard
err thats it!

Sorry mate, cant be doin with the eels. I have tried but it just didn't really do it for me

Just looking on the website there. WTF!!! Enjoy a glass of wine! With pie and mash? It's not normal. Things have changed since I was last in there. I normally go to the one in Deptford if I am in that neck of the woods, and all you get there is tea coffe and a choice of coke or lilt!!
