I didn’t want to post this yesterday, just in case it distracted from the collective whinge-fest.

Did anyone have one of the Super-Heated Meat and Potato explosive devices on Saturday?

Although they did pack a flavoursome punch, they were virtually inedible.

One well known AVFTT face was forced to hand me his pie, whilst he dealt with the third degree burns on his hands, having bitten in to the savoury heat bomb and released the contents.

Another mate kept his in his coat pocket for over an hour and it was still too hot to eat after the game had finished.

I can’t ever remember the pie situation being this bad before Brexit….
 
The club need to be very careful because if someone burns themselves on overheated food and drink they are leaving themselves open to being sued. A few years back a woman scolded her mouth on a hot coffee at McDonalds and sued them for a seven figure sum.
 
I had a pork pie at the Youth team game last week in hospitality smothered in cranberry sauce.
It was served cold and was delcious.
 
The pies I’m taking about were at Derby… Nothing to do with Blackpool FC.

Ahh the old pie in the pocket, a trick that was passed down to me by my father and probably his father to him. A classic trick that not only warms your soul but keeps the pie until such a time whereas you can devour it with speed.

It can even surprise those around you when a bit before half time you pull this pie out of nowhere, making people jealous all around, as they have to wait until half time with ques galore.

The look you get of....why didn't I think of that they look at you like a god among men. Lord of the pies.

Annoying though when you're starving and it's hotter than the sun.

Is this a variation on the original McDonald's coffee trope? The original case that sparked the "suing McDonalds for not knowing coffee is hot" meme is far more sinister than most people realise.

McDonalds had a corporate policy of maintaining coffee at an irresponsibly hot temperature despite knowing how dangerous it was, and despite it being a clear breach of health and safety legislation.

The elderly lady in question actually spilt coffee in her lap at a drive through (not an unforeseeable situation by any means) and suffered horrendous burns to her thighs and genitalia.

McDonalds PR and legal department sowed the ridiculing of the situation in an attempt to mitigate their liability and deter future claimants. It is actually a perfect example of how disgustingly large corporations act to protect themselves from liability.

She was initially awarded $200,000 in damages but a jury chose to increase it to $2,900,000 due to McDonald's actions.

I got a chicken balti pie Saturday and could have been mistaken for lava rather than chicken balti it was that hot. Still managed it somehow washed down with a flat pint
 
It's a critical issue. I was forced to gobble down one of the Hiroshima Hot Pots on Saturday and I've been left looking like John Merrick's uglier brother ever since. Such has been the swelling on my face, I came through the door after work yesterday and my kids thought it was Mardi Gras.

On a culinary point, shouldn't the filling of a classic meat and potato have at least one element of either meat or potato? Or are my expectations too high?

I think pre-brexit and Covid your expectations were correct, now you need to be happy if you get a hollow pastry bowl with a semblance of filling in it. I blame the French and their trawlers too.

In fairness, I don’t mind the ‘baby food’ style of pies like Holland’s or Pukka, so long as they are served at an appropriate temperature….

Anywhere below the melting point of steel would be fine, I’m not fussy 👍

Of course the new pies at BR are more meaty and potatoey, however they taste of nothing…

A pie that could combine flavour, texture and temperature would certainly be welcomed with open arms by me.

That’s horrendous…it actually made me gasp ..
 
You’ve got to stick your little finger deep into the sub pastry and filling before attempting to eat. Poor pie preparation equals piping palate problems!

It is, isn't it? The fact that most people only know of the case in passing as a "hurr durr aren't yanks funny and dumb" story is testament to how people with money can control narratives to their advantage.

What i did find interesting is that in looking for the pictures of her injuries, it seems that Google image searches won't deliver them as a result; I had to use duckduckgo. This wasn't the case a few years ago. Makes you think, huh?
