New from East of the M60 – Food Reviews
- Pie: Chicken Curry pie
- Maker: Peters, Bedwas, Caerphilly
- Location: Blakeway’s Chippy, Brighouse, West Yorkshire
I was in search of something suitable to me on till teatime at around 1650 hours. We thought that a carton of chips or a chip butty would have been too much between our last meal at 1050 hours and our Sunday dinner.
Along with my old man I was watching the 10th Brighouse Brass Band Contest and having a most enjoyable time. We chose to go to the chippy whilst there was a 4th section band on as we most wanted to see Marsden Silver who were on afterwards.
At Blakeway’s Chippy I stumbled upon the ultimate compromise between chips with curry or a chip muffin. A Chicken Curry pie.
I have experienced the delights of the Balti Pie from my local Morrisons store and the pie hut at Redditch United’s ground. Those two specimens were gorgeous so I expected the same high standards of this one.
It didn’t disappoint! The pastry, though flaky wasn’t the sort of flaky pastry seen in a Greggs sausage roll or some frozen pies. Whereas my previous two pies had Indian style curry, Peters went for the Chinese style chip shop curry. It worked like a dream!
The pie had generous chunks of chicken and good pieces at that. It was well worth the £1.50 price tag and a very moreish pie to boot. For the health police, there is no MSG, artificial colours, flavours, preservatives and hydrogenated fat. According to Peters’ website, you can also buy these at Tesco and Sainsburys stores.
