    I’m mostly a savoury person … and I can’t choose a favourite … there’s steak & kidney,


    chicken & leek, chicken & mushroom or chicken and leek, rabbit with bacon and leek, pigeon pie … and then there’s proper raised game pie and pork pies … 
     
    and it’s a good while since I’ve made a proper steamed Mutton Pot Pie … but it’ll soon be that time of year … 😋 
    … and then there’s the different kettle of fish that is Fish Pie … 🍽 

    As for tarts (and flans and quiches of course) … I’ll have to have a think …

    Yum, yum, @Dovefromabove, we had steak and kidney on Saturday, it was amazing. I always get Moira to put extra kidney in it. A perfect Autumnal dish, with a robust red.

    My great-grandma used to make the best baked egg custard tarts, with lots on nutmeg and I don't know what else. I haven't tasted anything as good since she died, and like @wild edges ' grandma, she didn't write down her recipes or pass them on.

    😂 I would’ve done back in the day @Plantminded l … for a short while a friend and I had a little business catering for weddings, business lunches, special cakes  etc … it was fun for a while … my one of my Gt grandfathers was a  Cambridgeshire village baker back in Victorian times … his daughter learned from him, married the local farmer and produced my Pa. She used to come and stay with us in Suffolk and taught me to bake when I was at primary school😊

    Pie in the sky.
    Did you ever watch that TV programme @LittleGreyRabbit ? … I really enjoyed it … I’ve been watching it again recently .., it hasn’t lost its charm for me 😊

    I once upset the MIL by referring to her fish pie as fish crumble. It wasn't a bad thing but it wasn't a pie.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I have no doubt that we’re expected to start a debate on the correctness of calling pumpkin pie a pie when it doesn’t have a lid … and all that transatlantic stuff … but I doubt that we’ll fall into that Heffalump trap … as Shakespeare almost said ‘… a pie by any other name would taste as good’ 🤪
