of course its a Scotch Pie:D

I've just finished work and picked up a pizza supper for my son, but that chip shop is dead posh


You get the fried pizza in a separate pizza box from the chips :rotfl:though my son says its not the same as getting the pizza dolloped on top of the chips so that the melted cheese sinks on to the chips:D

Pizza & chips just don't go together

Pizza is italian, the only side dish served with it should be garlic bread or salad.

Chips go with burgers, fried fish, that sort of thing.

They don't sell chips in pizza express or pizza hut

I've lived in the South of England for over 20 years now, but am originally from the Aberdeen area where I lived till I was in my 20s. This thread has made me really nostalgic!

The thing I now crave more than anything in the world is a Scotch Pie. Until a couple of years ago I could get them in my local Sainsburys but they stopped doing them.

Haven't had one for a year - since friends holidaying in the Borders brought me back some, having been given a detailed description of what it was I wanted.

Second on the list would be rowies (or butteries if you prefer), but would have to get those sent from Aberdeen.

I also love the Doric rapper - my Granda was a farmer who lived all his life in Aberdeenshire and he spoke nothing but Doric. Interestingly enough someone in the family married a German girl and she and my Granda could communicate no problem each in their own language. I'm just a Doric quine at heart.

I married an Englishman nearly 20 years ago, but sometimes I still come out with words he hasn't heard before. Latest was futret (ferret) (after watching Springwatch).

Do you have a Farm Foods store near you, they do packs of Frozen scotch pies
