Pie and peas

Pie and peas

Pie and peas is a traditional meal in the north of England, consisting of an individual raised pork pie made with hot water crust pastry and served with mushy peas and mint sauce. The pies are normally bought rather than home-made. Pie and pea shops and stalls used to be a common feature on Northern streets and markets (for example, Pie Toms in John Street Market, Bradford [ [http://www.yorksview.freeserve.co.uk/pietom/ Pie Ivan's ] ] ), but these days it is more usually sold in Sandwich Shops and "Chippies". Some people prefer meat & potato or steak pies, but this is not traditional.

In Lancashire, meat (steak) pies are more commonly eaten than pork pies. Although meat and potato and butter (buttery potato) pies are also served with peas in many places.

Pie and peas is a staple on the British football terraces and is popular amongst football fans served with mint sauce.Fact|date=June 2007
