Well, Wend, I am in shock! so I am.........Julia doesn't use a microwave? How on earth does she do those nifty little M & S 'ping' food thingies...*shakes head in bewilderment. lolol BC XX

methinks that multiple postings are due to the impatient 1D 10 T finger problem....

LOL no offence intended!! Bob

I always pretend I'm Julia when I'm cooking - I reckon she's the best cook on the boards. If you want any advice, she's your girl. She doesn't use a microwave either.

Have to add that pretending I'm her doesn't work - I'm still a lousy cook lol!

BF. Theys Simples. easy peasy to make, you can buy everything you need ,even the Pastry. And Julia, I thought you purchased your goods from the same shop as Auntie Motie, The Famed "Hot Tottie Shop" AKA. the pound shop.:o))))>pmsl.**M**.

*hangs head in shame. Have never ever cooked a pie in all my life but there is a programme on tv tonight which I intend to watch...'Baking Made Easy'. When next my grandchildren visit, Instead of reaching for a packet of ready mixed cupcakes complete with blue decorations, I shall don pinny and shove my hands in a bowl of flour...and stuff:-)). and pretend I am Julia! lolBC XX

Merlin the Rascal, by the cringits, I do not use the Pound Shop, in fact we do not have one in these parts, unlike where Aunty Mottie lives. No, I get my cookware from the Cookery Emporium at Denby Pottery, where sometimes the gorgeous James Martin gives a demo. when he is visiting this shire.

Would that be the "Pound Shop " like the one Auntie Motie uses?.**M**.:o))))>

You are welcome, Wed Wobin

LOL Julia.

No, no wind up this time. I genuinely have never come across a pie funnel.

But you have explained it perfectly.

Thank you

Little Wed Wobin, I think perhaps you are trying to wind me up here, but I will indulge you. When you have cut into your pie dish pastry top, and served this with the filling, the pie funnel is easily removed. It is then washed, and is ready for the next pie LOL

But how do you get the funnel out ?

Merlin the Rascal, dearest, mine was free, because I had bought a Le Crueset pie dish, and I have only the best of equipment in my kitchen. LOLOL

Most Poor people have to make do with an Upturned Egg Cup.its only the Posh ones who indulge in such frippery ( Like Julia and Auntie Motie).:o((((>.pmsl.**M**.

Hello again, Wed Wobin, because the pastry, goes over his beak, which is pointed upwards.

Ah, thank you MTG and Julia ( and a Happy New Year to you too ).

I had a vision in my mind of a plastic pipe fitted to an open window into which you threw unwanted pies !

But hold up ! ........................ how come this pie funnel does not leave a great big hole in the middle of your pie ?

Julia, Still waiting for mine, Suppose they,re all eaten now.pmsl.:o)>.**M**.

Love the explanation by Dizzi...,,,,LOL,,,
