sedith Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 When you have pie and peas in West Yorkshire it is more often than not a hot pork pie with mushy peas, known as a growler. Whereas in South Yorkshire and most other parts of the country, pie and peas consists of a classic individual steak/kidney or meat and potato pie with mushy peas. Yorkshire people love their mushy peas over the normal round ones as they find it difficult to keep the round ones on their knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey104 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 We used to use the term " growler" in the army as slang for a pastie. At NAAFI break the words ' Anyone going to the NAAFI for a growler?' were repeatedly used at 1000 hrs worldwide. ( time zones permitting) I still don't know where the term came from though.

mikem8634 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 There’s a great debate going on over on a pub’s Facebook page – they’re trying to change the definition of a pie. If you love pies as much as I do, go and take a look. It’s from Vintage Inns by the way www (dot) facebook (dot) com (/) vitnageinns Seeing as you have now resurrected two ancient pie related threads to post the exact same thing, you wouldn't be spamming by any chance, would you?
