We’ve been eating mostly healthy food over the last several months and so a previous staple of my diet has mostly disappeared: pies.
I love pies – savoury or sweet. They’re the pinnacle of pastry-topped food and I love them. I just haven’t been eating them very much recently.
However, I managed to revisit Pie Heaven today during a visit to the rather excellent Bottle Kiln. This is a lovely old pottery that’s been turned into an artsy shop with a café and Japanese garden. The menu is very simple, and a little expensive, but delicious. I had a large slice of ambrosia topped with shortcrust pastry – an utterly delicious pie with pork, stuffing, leek and apple. I even had the mixed salad – it was lovely and I normally hate salad!
Jo and I needed cheering up today and this was just the ticket. A little bit of luxury.
I’m not clairvoyant but I’m not seeing too many pies in my immediate future. It matters not, though, as I can still taste this one. Lovely.
Ever had a pie from Limetree Pantry? I’m not a pie person (surprisingly!) – but people tell me these things are nice!
Welcome back Mr Pieman, sorry to learn you and Jo needed cheering up but at least it was a good excuse to get piefaced once more
