  • I'm in the same position of you re the kitchen. Last week I used my muffin tray to make mini pies!! It actually worked really well as they are quite deep. However, a pie dish is on my to-buy list. Have fun being creative with your utensils!

    While I expected and kind of understand the comments about it being a cheap meat product etc, surely you should still expect reasonably good quality? The piece that was found wasn't meat or edible in my opinion. It's just not something either of us had came across before, but I'm still very sure I won't ever buy them again.

    it is edible. You have them inside you as well. As insulting is not allowed on here, I will say your a high quality peices of meat that is not cheap:)

    Its not like your pie is loaded with them, if you get the odd peice of artery now and then it will do not harm, If you pie had like 4 of them in the same pie, then yes, that is a issue.

    Its not like its a foriegn body either.

    So if you liked your pie apart from the one artery, then buy it again, there is a high probability your not see it again for a while.

    I think to many people create a issue that is not there, then it cascades into a bigger issue putting you off eating perfectly edile tasty food.

    If you want to get rid of these kind of issues, your going to have to pay a lot, lot more, which generally is not a good thing.

    Meat contains plumbing - it is how the oxygen gets to the fibres of muscle to allow them to function, and how the waste products are removed for centralised processing. I have had good steaks or bits of lamb with a bit of plumbing in, it is part of the animal carcass and is every bit as natural :)
  • it's a pie that arrives in a tin, quite frankly, the filling was always going to be 'interesting' lol

    yuck, i hate finding little hard bits in meat, always used to find them in frozen burgers and sometimes rustler burgers. always puts me off eating the rest of it. I don't mind fish bones too much, i'll happily swallow the little bones and dig out the bigger ones

    I am the same - I don't even like to eat the skin on chicken legs. Although if there was a war on, we would be eating all the yukky bits without a second thought. I think they used to say that with pigs, "You can eat everything but the squeak".

    Crispy chicken skin is the best bit.
