Have Had This Before

Dined today and got chicken and ham pie.

Nice but I know that the pastry was just put over the chicken and ham creamy mixture etc.

Have had this pastry before and know it is baked after the order is presented.

Am looking where it could be bought but to no avail.

You can get ready prepared pastry of several types in rolls from the chilled section of most supermarkets these days jj.

thanks Shoota - but looked at the link - I would say my dish was served within 10-15 minutes and pastry was definitely there and then baked.

They pre prepare and part bake the tops and just finish off as orders come in most likely.

I think Fray Bentos make them in tins; just remove lid & bake for 20mins. Sold in poundland.

How much are they Tam?

[tamborine]

Haha, cheeky boys get a smack x

[Mamyalynne]

They always have soggy bottoms.

Right place, right time, nothing wrong with a soggy bottom...

[Mamyalynne]

Sigh.............

After all that time in the wine cellar & you sigh? No pleasing some people...

Apologies to JJ for the hijack of her thread :-)
