Steak and Kindney Pie (Yes, I know!)

plymouthbloke1974 · 21-12-2012, 21:49

Have you noticed recently that you can't get the aforementioned delight in any supermarket, other than Pukka Pies???

You used to be able to get fresh and frozen own-brand S+K pies in Tesco, Sainsbury's, ASDA etc.... now.. nothing, nada. Just bloody steak and ale or just steak. (Or Fray Bentos, but don't get me started on that)

DAMMIT I WANT STEAK AND KIDNEY PIE!!

Sorry. Rant over......

People don't eat kidneys much as they used to do they, hence the scarcity of these pies. I know I wouldn't buy one because I don't eat offal !

So you don't indulge in liver, smokey bacon and onion gravy then.... Food of the gods....

I love steak and kidney pie, apart from if it is the muck served up from my local fish and chip shop!

M&S sell steak and kidney pies and puddings.

c4rv · 22-12-2012, 16:33

every supermarket that I come across including aldi sells it

In the supermarket today I bought a four pack of Poole's steak and kidney pies and a four pack of Holland's steak and kidney pies.
They also had own brand steak and kidney pies, but I think 8 pies is enough to be going on with.

I prefer them without the kidney - there's always a faint 'pissy' taste to kidney IMO.
Unfashionable as they mey be, I love a Fray Bentos 'Just Steak' pie. The quality of the steak is beyond reproach.

I am with you. My husband said if he had to choose a final meal it would be my steak and kidney pie or liver and onion gravy.

Except they aren't scare as all the supermarkets stock them and offal is actually considered quite a fashionable ingredient these days. Sweet breads are in fact often on the menus of a lot of top restaurants.
