The best food I have ever tasted. Sure I like a full fry-up, sunday roast, beans on toast... but Pie & Mash is all that and then some ;) --Angryjames 22:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eel population of the Thames[edit]

There are substantially more than 50 eels in the Thames! Despite the EA only catching 50 in baited traps, if you ask pleasure anglers how many eels are caught when fishing for other species and returned unharmed to the water it is far more than 50 and the idea that the same 50 fish are being caught over and over is ludicrous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.74.242.33 (talk) 09:57, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In its current state, the article makes use of h2g2.com. This source is inadequate: see WP:USERGENERATED. -- Hoary (talk) 07:05, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a pie and smashed potato[edit]

So what? The point is that it's a culturally important thing. CrickedBack (talk) 22:58, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of a pie's crust[edit]

The article says the pastry is to "keep off dirt" but I've heard anecdotally that is not the case; rather it was a way of stopping the contents from spoiling. i.e. the cooked contents have bacteria, and the pasty also stops bacteria getting in.

But I really only have heard that anecdotally, and I'm not confident I could research it, so I think it's correct for me to write this rather than edit the page. CrickedBack (talk) 23:00, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
