Nothing like they used to be which was full of gravy and edible beef with a nice hard lid to lift off and use to scoop up the gravy and beef. Nowadays you get a bit of dried up mince on the bottom taking up a quarter of the pie with a pastry to break yer teeth. They're crap - the pies in the stadium are 100% better, a bit dearer but very good. My gran and granddad worked in the North St shop, they'd be turning in their graves if they knew this. I haven't had one since childhood, but the thick dark brown gravy in them was delicious back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the meat content in days of yore, but it is now 7.8% with another 7.8% of spuds and some onion. The rest is made up of non-food stuff. Not sure how that compares with others..

Rudolf Hucker Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 If I wanted something incredibly hot, very tasty but perhaps a little on the crusty side, I wouldn't waste time eating pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that has changed with a Clark's pie is slightly less gravy (h&s apparently), there has been no change of recipe. They remain the superior pie of the west country and far better than any Pukka (puke) pie or any other pie sold in the stadium, which are not just a bit dearer but almost double the cost of the £1.90 you pay for Clark's. IF you want a better pie than Clark's you have to shop up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 They used to be moist and meaty. Now they are dry and the meat is tough. I really can't understand why firms ruin their brand to save a few pennies. Jacobs Club biscuits are another prime example. Remember when there was "a lot of chocolate on your biscuit"? Ginsters Pasties don't seem as great as they once were either. How many other brands have you seen destroyed like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite expensive as well. On the rare occasions I want food at the Gate these days I get a botulism burger from outside. Or eat somewhere nice in North St, before walking down.

If they weren't knocked out the lava like filling would get em. Clarks pies seem to have been a well used missile. I remember watching The Herd (with Peter Frampton as singer) playing at the Victoria Rooms in the 60s. They weren’t very good and suddenly a group of people bombarded them with Clarks pies. I did consider going onto the stage to retrieve the pies, but decided against this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
