From history:

 

Confederate prisoners make fried pie.

 

Thought this might interest GD, if he can be torn away from romantic bliss for five minutes.

Fried Pie is very good, if you use the proper fillings. Chocolate or cream fillings don't work very well.

[Walsingham]

Must be too hot for pie.

So I'm having a beer party on Friday, and we are doing an International theme.  I chose England, and I picked up a couple pints of Wychwood Wychcraft and Hobgoblin.  I've never tried them, so hopefully they are good.

 

I also need a decent British appetizer.  I'm thinking a batch of small meat pies would be good.  Any suggestions?

[Gfted1]

Sounds like fun! Maybe some bangers and mash?

 

Aside, I cant stand Guinness straight but its palatable if combined with an ale into a Black and Tan.

[Walsingham]

Be careful ordering a black and tan. Depends what kind of Irish bar you're in.

 

Hobgoblin is a damned good ale, although it gives me a thick head after only one pint. Hangover juice is what it is.

 

As an appetiser it depends how serious you want to get. Up North they eat pork pies, because the fatty short crust pastry soaks well. Down South they eat cheese and onion sandwiches, because the onion is sharp in contrast to the ale. In London they eat ciabatta with squid frittata, because they're wankers.
