Found this website for lovers of pies http://www.pie-man.com/

Our village butcher does homemade pies and superb pasties. Even better than Fray Bentos IMHO.

"www.pie-man.com"
must be a fellow resident of wigan
problem with fray bentos pies is that they dont make for a good wigan kebab, if tin removed first they loose the filling, if still in tin its a b*gger of a job to insert squewer.

for those foreghners nay southerners amongst us wiganers are affectionatly known as pie eaters /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thank the lord I m a hoarder!

I reckon my collection should rocket in value now, cos I am public spirited, so I will let one go the National Gallery, the rest should fund my retirement!

This is a cause for celebration, Fray Bentos for all the family tonight!
