Worst. Amex. Pie. Ever.

[Not Andy Naylor]

The cottage pie at the Amex tonight was dreadful. I was foolishly tempted by the utterly misleading photo of it and the mouth-watering description of the mashed potato allegedly contained therein, but there was only a small blob of mash cowering under the pastry, trying to stay afloat on a sea of very average savoury mince. Most disappointing.

I would say that this culinary misadventure had entirely spoiled the whole evening and turned our three points to dust and ashes in my eyes, but that would be a lie, of course. Not a good pie, though.

A fool and his money....

It was nice on Saturday. Nicely seasoned filling. Would buy again.

 

[PoG]

Agreed

I agree, so lets have a campaign to bring back the chilli pie, you know the type of thing, flowers to Johnny Prescott, marching outside political conferences,a council referendum, it worked last time

I quite liked it; guess I'm not very picky.

This. Bloody lovely Saturday, no complaints.

 

[The Oldman]

Agree. Very disappointing. Blob of mash, hardly any meat and a few other bits.

 

[Smithy]

I thought it was good.

Now I love the pies but the ones in Dicks had been baked with the FLAKEY MAXIMISER. No sooner had I bitten in to my oft lusted for Balti pie then I had covered the table with crumbs, and my subsequent attempts to keep the filling in could be described as contorted pierobics. But before most of the table could mock another of our number had suffered from the same problem, only in steak, and DUMPED his filling on the floor. After that there was just the Oaf left......

None of us had the guest pie though. Top with pastry or spud. Never both.

Tonight I had my last pie for the time being. Went for the chicken, but they are all hard thick pastry and minimal thin rations of filling. Time to bring sandwiches till they improve. Even tried the fish fingers a couple of weeks ago. Cooked within an inch of their life in some kind of hard crusty bread roll. Never again.

 

[Simster]

My mate got a cottage pie and it looked shite.

My steak and ale pie was first class, however. As was my pint of Harveys.

 

[ruthers]

Blimey. I thought it was quite good & reminded of a West Cornish Pasty Co, pasty.....but it was my first ever pie at the Amex so nothing to compare to

 

[albionalex]

My old man enjoyed his.

 

[Willy Dangle]

Pies? What pies?

 

[oneillco]

I thought it was a very nice pie, well filled, nice and meaty, not too juicy.

 

[sparkie]

Only have a pie when it's a chicken balti, or the godlike chilli pie.

If not I'll get a cheeseburger and cry about the lack of mustard.

 

[seagull_in_malaysia]

Get the veggie pie next time, very nice.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Get the veggie pie next time, very nice.

If you like butternut squash that is.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Agree - normally very happy with our pies but tonight's cottage pie specimen was poor, with very little filling
