    Maybe a little hint for challengers: I think Saint Delia strongly advises cooking pastry in a metal dish to it doesnt go soggy :confused: . Maybe a proper old styler can confirm or deny?

    Apparently this is made with crusty pastry so should add to the confusion you both already are suffering from, :eek: plus neither of you seem to have a dish that fits the shape but hey ho it had welsh in the title, and all good welsh people know its where leeks were born :confused:

    I think this is going to be a fun thread though :rotfl:

    I think that I am eligible for honourary bloke status though as I have lived off takeaways and readymeals for the last ten years (pre MSE obviously). I recently made an omelette for the first time EVER so that gives you an indication of my cooking ability, can I still play?

    Hmmm...:think:....you do seem to be well qualified....yeah, you can still play. :D :j
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I haven't got a metal pie-dish. I really hope this isn't true. :o

    I've cooked pastry in glass, metal and china dishes and it's turned out OK in all 3 so I wouldn't worry too much

    On the pastry question what about making shortcrust for the bottom crust and topping it with ready-made puff pastry ? Puff pastry is a bit wasted when its covered in wet filing but it is delicious on the top a pie ;)
