Pies

[Modernist]

A Time Served Bakers View Of Proceedings..............

 

Howieson try to use the old 'Andersons Butchers' recipe for their steak pies. (and employ or used to) a number of their 'Bakers' (Myself included at one point) They also use the 'Reids' recipe for Scotch Pies, Bridies and Sausage Rolls. (Too much rusk involved there BTW)

 

Denholms (Sausage Rolls) 'like everything baked in the shop' are made the traditional way using their own recipe and not (like Greggs, Aulds ect) a pre mixed bucket of E numbers piped into some pastry...........

 

Chapmans used to be good but have went downhill recently in my opinion (Is wee Rab still the gaffer in their bakery ?) A fellow Dosser anaw.

 

Top Of The Pops..............

 

Steak Pie - Andersons without a shadow of doubt.

 

Denholms (They've stopped doing them for some reason)

 

Both pissed all over the so called 'Killie' pie. Good marketing ploy by Brownings right enough.

 

Scotch Pie - In the past would have to say Chapmans, now Denholms. Cracking wee bakers in Glasgow beats both (Name escapes me at the moment though)

 

For Cakes ect go to Denholms people, no pre mixes used there (at least when I worked there back in the day)

 

Got to give Rae's in Shotts a wee mention as well. Best 'Rolls' I've ever tasted.

Sampled the Nairn County in Nov, and you are spot on there. A wonderful treat for the taste buds and not a dribble of grease to be found.

 

 

Sure they from Browns Butchers in the town, ma m8 (+ county captain) is the manager there, crackin butchers n their pies + sausage rolls are feckin good!!
