Tall King Blox Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I stand for the rights of the common people of this great city of ours...I know that Clarks pies originated from a Cardiff "family" but to me and many of my friends the clarks pie has been the staple diet for many a year, it's a bit like the cornish pasty, designed for the working man...unlike the afore mentioned pasty you will need at least three hands to eat it! but that said after all the publicity about the above mentioned pies i thought that Clarks pies needed a mention.....Thats all.....

havanatopia Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Pies are bad. OK +1. Very high on the food glycemic index. Kids.. just say no. Instead have a bowl of cherries with low fat yoghurt.. very low on the food glycemic index. love to have them at the cafe's. never gonna happen though is it?

CardiffBlackLabel Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Clarksies unite our two cities. When they built the second severn crossing, it should have been marked with a symbolic 'breaking' of a Clarks Pie. Are they different in Bristol? I find the Cardiff ones a tad pastry-heavy to be honest, although they are still lush, and it's good to see a few pubs doing the 'Clarks and Brains' meal deal for £3.50.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Are they different in Bristol? I find the Cardiff ones a tad pastry-heavy to be honest I find ours are slightly brain and b*llok heavy, although I found one with an eyeball in it the other day (I never knew cows wore contact lenses as well?)..,,still, they taste goooood and now I want one. (I would like to point out for possible legal reasons that I am joking, apart from the bit about tasting good, I love Clarks Pies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZepperin Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 The advantage of cottage pie is that you can make it at home. Think of spag bol without the spag, add mash, grated cheese. In the oven. Nice. I was, however, introduced to the world of cottage pie baking by someone who referred to it as shepherd's pie". Thank heavens for the sage gastronomes on OTIB who put me straight on this one. Information like this can save you a few blushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly The Kid Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I found my first grey pubic hair the other day. Wouldn't have minded but it was in the middle of a Clarks pie I bought from a chippy in little stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love their flaky crust pasties as well, (to look at me you would never know it ) When I lived in Lime Road the shop in North Street was great for us because the lady that served in the shop lived in the same street and used to give us bogof's when the boss wasn't looking!!

Talk Of The Town Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I just love a good pie. I could quite easily munch on a pie everyday.Its important the pie tastes good and is moist.
