MBE v tigs78 chicken and leek pie challenge

tigs78 has challenged me to a duel. Choice of weapons: kitchen utensils. :eek:

On Thursday 28th we are each going to make a chicken and leek pie. :drool:

As usual, I'm starting the thread nice and early so we have time to shop and stuff. :rolleyes:

Firstly, we will need a recipe we can both agree on. Then a shopping list, including utensils we (i.e. me) haven't got.

Then we will just need the usual support for questions like: "What's pastry?" :confused:

Hopefully, we will both be supporting this with photos, so you can see whose pie is best (i.e. mine) :whistle:

Mmmmm, pie. :drool:
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I'm afraid that I'm one step ahead already! There was a thread the other day on pie dishes and it appears that I already have one...

    In my defence I didn't know I had one either! The thread caught my eye as I knew the pie challenge was coming up, I thought the tin I had was a cake tin. I've never actually made a cake in it though but I once cooked a lovely joint of beef in it.

    I think we should have to make the pastry from scratch too.

    :eek: Are we trying to make it really hard work? :confused:

    Do you have any idea the work involved in making puff pastry? Even the pros buy the stuff! :rolleyes:

    I will if you will but I think that's a bit OTT. :o

    Is it suitable? It's about 1½ inches deep. Should make a nice big pie. :D
