[Food] Ketchup on a pie

[mothy]

So I'm sitting enjoying the 1st half on Sunday. & in front of me a person is eating a chicken pie absolutely covered on top in ketchup. Am I alone in thinking this is unnecessary seasoning of an already well seasoned product?

It totally ruined my enjoyment of watching the 1st half

Brown sauce on a cheap steak pie is acceptable. On one of Piglets though…,,, very grey area.

I can totally understand your dismay. It should of course have been HP Sauce!

English mustard.

You had quite a result.

Our football totally ruined my enjoyment of watching the 1st half.

The pies at the Amex can be rather bland at times. A little mustard and ketchup can help with the crust!

Being a 'Ketchup on everything' person I must admit that a Piglets Pie never needs any additional flavouring. Even more fluid to drop down on my jumper!

I have an inexplicable, but genuine, physical response to tomato ketchup and can't eat it - even smelling it makes me gag. It's the only food this happens with and somehow tomatoes in any other form are fine and dandy. I'm normally OK seeing it at a non-smelling distance but a pie absolutely covered in it? Even picturing it in my mind is making me feel uncomfortable...so I'm with you, it would have ruined my first half as much as the football did too.

Ideally, thick beefy gravy (if steak and ale). Ketchup - just no.

I quite like the flavour combo of a Pukka steak pie with some ketchup, not loads though.

As for the stadium pies, they are nice but with the new packaging(if a cardboard thong can be termed as packaging), a significant percentage of the contents often ends up on my lap/the floor

Ketchup isn’t seasoning, it’s a condiment.

A good pie needs not ketchup nor nothing else but, perhaps, extra gravy. A bit of mustard at a push.

I was quite proud of myself as on Sunday, I managed to eat a steak & ale pie out of one of those 'sleeve' coverings, with hardly dropping a crumb. I did cheat and used a wooden fork.
No ketchup involved.

That’s virtually a pizza topping.

My mate Sunday, sausage roll with brown sauce.

The secret with Piglets Pies is to eat them upside down (i.e. lid on the bottom, not while doing a handstand). Now the pastry lids are not a soggy (a benefit of the new packaging) the lid is more robust than the base and wider so eating them upside down greatly reduces the risk of spillage.

That's the chicken.

I'll accept a little dab on a not great pie. But not all over a decent one. Unless you're 10. And mental.

Yep. Totally wrong.

Phew. I'm glad it's not just me
