Marks And Sparks Empire Pie.

[Togo]

One of the permanently offended and outraged has complained that a M & S pie celebrates "Colonial Deaths" and leaves a nasty taste in her mouth. Where do these people get their ideas? Empire Pie. No Tartar sauce then and I suppose a Victoria Sponge is out of the question.

What the hell do we do with German sausage and French letters?

Cant find it on M&S website removed or me being stupid?

[Tilly2]

What about Wagon Wheels? Don't they celebrate the subjugation of the First Nations people of the United States and Canada?

Some folk put into print all sorts of rubbish when Pie-Eyed.

Still, it's food for thought. Personally, I think it's all pie in the sky...

Interesting that they are not calling it Empire Pie.

Is it just me, or looking at the picture - does any one else really fancy an Empire pie right now?

Looks delicious.

As for the woman who complained - life. Get one.

When I was young in the 50's, my Mum used to make Woolton Pie,and it was delicious.

But when I tried to make it last year, it came out with consistency of concrete and was 'horrible !

I bought them when Marks first introduced them. Liked 'em so much I got a recipe and now I make my own. Only I call it Indian Shepherd's Pie, not out of political correctness but because that's what it is. I don't read the Morning Star because I am outraged by the suffering and deprivation that Communism inflicted and continues to inflict.
