The countdown is over and British Pie Week is upon us! This week - from 7th to 13th March – we're joining with thousands of other pie fans in enjoying the pastry beauties that are the Great British Pie.

Apart from we're not quite like "other pie fans" in that we tend to go slightly beyond the call of duty when it comes to eating and rating pies! You may have read our British Pie Week article and know that in British Pie Week 2013 we ate 50 pies between the three of us and in British Pie Week 2014 we went even further and ate 55 pies - including making and trying a Python pie!

And we added even more to that number last year by eating 71 pies between two of us! This included a Pieathon challenge, where Sam and Rob both went three and a half days eating just pies and Rob's diet being made up of 66% pies during the week. And this year is no different, so keep reading for info on what us Pierateers are getting up to this British Pie Week!

First and foremost, it is almost taken as a given that Pierateers RAS, SJL and TJP will all be eating at least one pie every day in British Pie Week - while rating as many of them as feasible this week too. In addition, all three of us will be heading to Melton Mowbray on Wednesday for the British Pie Awards 2016, with Tim and Rob judging and Sam providing the media coverage! But the Pierateers also have their own unique ways of celebrating British Pie Week as follows, which we've named our #PiePledge commitments to pie!


As well as taking the whole of British Pie Week off work and judging at the British Pie Awards, Pierateer RAS has committed to travelling to Wales and Scotland to rate some pies, and the plane has been booked for his flight back from Scotland so he can have "Pie In The Sky"!

BREAKING NEWS: PierateerRAS has just announced his British Pie Week 2016 #PiePledge, eating a new pie in England, Wales and Scotland! #pie

— Pierate (@pierateers) March 4, 2016

Yes, for the first time Pierateer Rob will truly be putting the BRITISH in British Pie Week, travelling to all three countries that make up Great Britain in order to rate some new pies. On Monday he'll be heading to Cardiff for some Clark's Pies, made in Wales for over 100 years now! On Wednesday he'll join around a hundred other judges at the British Pie Awards in Melton Mowbray, central England. While on Thursday he'll be picking up the Scotch Pie World Champion from Kandy Bar in Scotland, before flying back to Birmingham in order to have "Pie in the Sky"!



Pierateer TJP has gone for quantity in his #PiePledge this year, perhaps feeling slightly guilty that he was over in Greece last British Pie Week and didn't get to contribute to the 71 pies eaten by the Pierateers last year! Here's Tim's pie pledge:

BREAKING NEWS: Pierateer TJP has just announced his British Pie Week 2016 #PiePledge, eating 7 pies for 7 days = 49 pies!

— Pierate (@pierateers) February 11, 2016

The pies won't be lacking for Pierateer SJL either, as he will be eating pies every day of British Pie Week too, although he's gone for the unusual challenge of eating a pie in a different way each day of the week! We eagerly look forward to the pie plans he has and if you have any suggestions of weird ways to eat a pie, do send us a tweet to @pierateers!!

BREAKING NEWS: Pierateer SJL has just announced his British Pie Week 2016 #PiePledge to eat a pie in a new way everyday of @BritPieWeek

— Pierate (@pierateers) February 11, 2016

Our Ship's Cook is planning to bake up a storm once again this year, following her amazing "Four course dinner pie" from last British Pie Week! This year she's going to be making a Great British Pierate Ship, using ingredients that Pierateer Rob will pick up from England, Scotland and Wales, plus a special ingredient from Ireland too! (Well, it's part of the British Isles!)

Ok @pierateers, I'm ready to make my #BritishPieWeek #PiePledge - I'm going to attempt to bake a Great British Pierate Ship!

— Emily Cook (@the_cookworm) February 23, 2016

And Pierateer ARL - our vegetarian pierateer - is kindly being sent a six pack of Pieminister Vegetarian pies in order to rate and review their veggie range. One new addition to the Pieminister range this British Pie Week is a new pie created by Leah Shields called the "Saag Pie-neer". This Pea, Paneer, Spinach, Potato, Chilli and Mango pie was created as part of a com-pie-tition Pieminister recently ran to create a new pie for British Pie Week as part of their #TryAVegPie campaign.

We're looking forward to adding these pies to the 12 Pieminister Pie Reviews we've already rated!

More about the #PiePledge

In British Pie Week 2013 we introduced the #PiePledge as a way for pie eaters or pie makers to make pledges either before or during British Pie Week about what they are going to commit to do regarding pie. Find out more about what you could pledge to do this British Pie Week here.

We hope we’ve provided some ins-pie-ration for your to perhaps make a #PiePledge of your own! You can tweet your #PiePledge to @pierateers or leave a comment below - but more than anything, enjoy your pies in British Pie Week!

British Pie Week Special - Could the Four Course Dinner Pie revolutionise pie eating?!

For those who aren't aware, while our main focus on Pierate - Pie Reviews is to rate commercially bought pies on the 7 Cs of pie rating, we do have our good friend The Ship's Cook who bakes pie recipes (or reci-pies) and gives them a rating on the 7 Cs of pie rating too! And while this is normally trying and testing commercially available pie recipes from cook books or websites, as a special #PiePledge for this year's British Pie Week she decided to make her own. Let's see how she got on:

My #PiePledge for British Pie Week was to try out a new pie recipe, so I thought I'd invent one all of my own! As British Pie Week drew to a close, I decided to celebrate in style with a four course meal. But of course this wasn't just any four course meal - this was a four course meal in a pie.

 
Yes, you read that correctly, an entire four course meal encased in delicious pastry!

The Recipe:


I did have to ask for some help on this one, as there was a pretty good chance that at least one course would leak into another through my pastry walls. Thanks to my very clever friends, I ended up with four courses that would work separately and together:

Starter - French onion soup
Main - Pork with apple and mushrooms
Pudding - Apple and raisin
Cheese course - Brie and cranberry

I started by making the pastry case and walls, out of shortcrust pastry because I thought that would be quite sturdy. I then blind baked the case while I made the fillings.



The French onion 'soup' was mostly onions slowly cooked in butter with salt, pepper and some flour, and then I made a very thick beef gravy with Worcestershire sauce to make it more like soup. The pork course was pork mince, onions, mushrooms, apple, salt, pepper and some dried herbs. The pudding (apple and raisin) was Bramley apples, raisins, ginger, cinnamon, mixed spice and brown sugar. Finally, the brie and cranberry was just that - layers of brie with cranberry sauce. I topped the whole thing off with a puff pastry lid, marked it with a series of holes to indicate courses 1- 4 and popped it in the oven until it was brown and crispy.

I'm not sure whether it's fair of me to rate my own pie, but I'm going to give it a go anyway - I'm afraid I am a bit biased and I think it was brilliant!


 The Seven Cs:

Colour: 
I'll be honest - this could have been a bit darker. I got over-excited and couldn't wait any longer to try the pie, so I took it out of the oven a bit early...

Consistency:
Mixed success here but mostly good. The onion soup section was lovely and moist, with soft onion and smooth gravy. The pork mince was a bit dry and needed some sauce. The apple and cheese layers were both moist without being too runny.

Capacity:
I packed this pie pretty tightly with filling, but it still felt like I was eating a lot of pastry. Still, if you're going to eat four courses of pie you probably love pastry, and I certainly didn't mind!

Chewiness:
No unpleasant chewiness here - I think I got it right with the mix of ingredients. The fairly large pieces of onion in the soup course meant it wasn't too runny, and the addition of mushrooms to the pork and raisins to the apple added a nice texture. The cheese was soft and gooey, which is exactly how melted cheese should be.

Content:
I'm giving myself (and my friends who helped with the recipe) full marks here. It was a FOUR COURSE MEAL in a pie, and it was absolutely delicious. 

Cheapness:
This isn't the cheapest pie ever because you have to buy quite a lot of different ingredients, but I did end up with loads of leftover fillings that didn't fit into the pie. So those are in the freezer ready for another meal, and I think the cost was worth it for the impact this pie makes.

Condition:
I was really impressed with this pie. I thought it was going to collapse and end up being an onion-pork-apple-and-cheese pie but amazingly the walls stayed solid and the courses stayed separate. I even managed to get a slice of each course onto a plate so you can see them properly!

Overall, my #PiePledge was a definite success. I strongly recommend that you all go and make your own four course meal pies. Try out different ingredients and let us know what you think! Be prepared to be very full though - I know I am!

You may have seen that we’re once again encouraging pie fans and pie companies to make promises regarding pies for British Pie Week (from 2nd to 8th March 2015). This is in the form of making a #PiePledge or two, possibly committing to eat more pies or try a new pie flavour or do special pie-motions to celebrate pie!

But it would certainly be hypocritical of us to ask you to make a #PiePledge without making a few ourselves, so over the coming days we will be revealing the various #PiePledge ideas the Pierateers will be committing to!

It has to be said that it's going to be hard to beat some of the #PiePledge ideas we had last year, but we'll give it a try! Of course, there's no beating the pie-thon (python pie) Pierateer Tim made in terms of a piefect pie pun, and it was an epic feat for Pierateer Sam to make a video of all 21 consecutive pie meals he ate in British Pie Week 2014 whilst losing weight, but we have a few pie-deas to ensure British Pie Week 2015 is pastry crazy!

So what of 2015? Here are our Pierateer #PiePledge commitments:

The headline grabbers are these:

Pierateer Rob will be doing a 50-50 Pie Challenge, in which he aims for pie to be at least 50% of his diet during British Pie Week 2015! While still unsure quite how he's going to consume that much pastry in a week, he's up for the challenge and will record his pies and non-pies in our daily posts! This is not going to be healthy!!!

Pierateers Rob and Sam both aim to compete in a Pieathon - where they will both aim to see how many hours (and hopefully days!) they can survive on just eating pie until the craving for a non-pie option becomes too strong! Starting at Midnight on Monday 2nd, they will only eat pie until one of them cracks under the pie-ressure! You can see timers of how long we lasted in our Pieathon post.

We're pleased to announce that we will be supplied with pies for some of these challenges by Nice Pie, Pieminister and Toppings Pies. We look forward to reviewing these and taking us past 500 pie reviews in our Pie Rankings table very soon!


In addition, the Pierateeers commit to the following:

The #PiePledge by Pierateer TJP will be attempted outside of Britain! Will he be able to take the spirit of British Pie Week abroad as he travels to Greece?

The Ship's Cook has made a #PiePledge to "push the boat out" (so to speak) by attempting a new reci-pie in British Pie Week. We'll find out what in British Pie Week!

The Pierateers #PiePledge to do a day-by-day account of every pie they eat in British Pie Week! Check back daily on www.pierate.co.uk to see what crazy pie antics we’ve been up to during the week!

Pierateer Rob has gone the extra mile by committed to take 3 days off work to help aid this regular pie review posting!

Plus as he's eating so many pies anyway, Pierateer Rob will #PiePledge to eat at least one pie all seven days of British Pie Week! Check back daily on www.pierate.co.uk to see what pies we've consumed each day!

Don't forget though that you can get involved too! Check out our #PiePledge video above or check out our #PiePledge article. And follow the #PiePledge hashtag on Twitter for how we're doing!

I’m sure you won’t need any reminding that it is British Pie Week from 2nd to 8th March this year – in fact you can see our countdown clock telling you exactly how long you have to wait in our Countdown to British Pie Week article – but you may be thinking “What can I do for British Pie Week?!”

After all, you may have read our British Pie Week article and know that in British Pie Week 2013 we ate 50 pies between the three of us and in British Pie Week 2014 we went even further and ate 55 pies - including making and trying a Python pie! Not everyone is quite that pie-crazy!!!

But what can YOU do for British Pie Week? Well we’d love you to get involved in whatever way you can and here’s how:

Introducing the #PiePledge

In British Pie Week 2013 we introduced the #PiePledge as a way for pie eaters or pie makers to make pledges either before or during British Pie Week about what they are going to commit to do regarding pie. Then in 2014 we got others involved in making a #PiePledge too! And with British Pie Week coming up soon, what better thing than make your #PiePledge ready for British Pie Week?




Here’s some examples for individuals:

- #PiePledge to eat a pie every day of British Pie Week (not for the feint hearted but the Pierateers pledge to do this as standard)
- #PiePledge to “shop local” and buy a pie from an independent local supplier/butchers rather than the Supermarkets for British Pie Week
- #PiePledge to complete Pie-thagoras Theorem on one day of British Pie Week – where you eat pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner! (See our article on Pie-thagoras Theorem for more details!)
- #PiePledge to make a homemade pie – completely from scratch – this British Pie Week
- #PiePledge to eat a flavour of pie you’ve never tried before – like Zebra, Kangaroo or Squirrel

And here’s some examples for pie companies:

- #PiePledge to release a new pie flavour for British Pie Week
- #PiePledge to increase the number of pie-motions in British Pie Week to boost pie sales even further!
- #PiePledge to tweet about pies even more than usual in British Pie Week (though that's surely a given!)

We hope we’ve provided some ins-pie-ration for your #PiePledge. You can tweet your #PiePledge to @pierateers or leave a comment below - but more than anything, enjoy your pies in British Pie Week!

We'll be checking twitter for some of your #PiePledge suggestions and picking some top suggestions to add to this article in the coming few weeks!

The Aldwark Arms are planning a new special pie on their menu every day of British Pie Week:

Well there we have it. British Pie week has come and gone, a LOT of pies have been eaten and almost as many #PiePledges have been fulfilled. As you might remember from my last post, my #PiePledge was to attempt hot water crust pastry for the first time – something I was a bit nervous about. Luckily I managed to overcome my pastry fears and bake a truly ginormous hot water crust pie, and it wasn’t as tricky as I’d expected!

Nice Pie wild boar pork pie

Nice Pie wild boar pork pie

The wild boar went down a treat, and it gave a nice twist on the traditional pork pie (which, when eaten in excess, can be quite overwhelming in its richness). I found myself cruising in the challenge at this stage; the wild boar was so delicious that I was wondering whether this whole pork pie thing was even a challenge at all.

However, even the wild boar, which in its first few slices provided a welcome relief to traditional pork pie, soon became quite overwhelming in its richness. These pies are quite large and rich, so there was certainly no way I was going to be able to eat the whole thing in one go. Instead, I ate a third of it, had a break and then snacked on some smaller slices.

Next on the pork pie menu was a Mrs Kings Melton Mowbray pork pie, which I ate for my mid-afternoon snack. Mrs Kings have won multiple awards for their pies, including Best Melton Mowbray Pork Pies at the British Pie Awards (2011-2012) and Best Hand Raised Melton Mowbray Pork Pie (2013-2014) so I knew I was eating a quality pie. The quality of the pie certainly made it easier to eat at this stage in the challenge.

Mrs Kings pork pie

Mrs Kings pork pie

By this point, I had learned that rather than trying to substitute a pork pie as a whole "meal", it was much better to eat small amounts of pork pie at a time. But while the quality of the pies I had eaten was high, there's no denying that you can have too much of a good thing. By the late afternoon I was feeling quite sick, and felt the need for a large meal. But I knew the large meal was only going to be more pork pie.

That evening I headed down to the Princess Victoria Pork Pie Off, which was really the main driver for me attempting this pork pie challenge. You can read more about the pork pie off here, but let's just say that after trying 10 different pork pies I was feeling really quite ill and gained the pork pie sweats! But a couple of glasses of water later and a chat with a few other pie fans, and I was feeling a bit back to normal and headed home for a herbal tea.

The pie reviews will come later, but I was very impressed with nearly all the pork pies that I ate on the day, particularly Mrs Kings and the wild boar pie. I thought just eating pork pie would be a relentlessly monotonous experience, but instead I found there was great variety within pork pies - as if they're almost a food group of their own.

The pork pie challenge is not something that I'll be attempting again. It perhaps wasn't the day of doom that I was expecting it to be, but the pork pie sweats are not pleasant and my stomach took a couple of days to settle fully. But I was certainly spurred on by the quality of the pork pies, and I feel indebted to the tastiness of the pies for helping me complete the challenge. Long live the pork pie! I have a new fondness for these delightfully British icons.

The pork pie challenge was my Pie Pledge to celebrate Day One of British Pie Week 2014.

It is well known that on the Pierate Ship we like to sail all around the world to see if we can find pies in other countries. British Pie Week is a chance to share the best of British Pies on an international stage. But for Pierateer ARL it is also a chance to bring the international stage to British Pie Week. This year ARL will be visiting the Spanish island of Grand Canaria. Her two pie pledges are hence of a Spanish theme. Firstly she will be attempting to find a pie while she is there. Secondly, she will be bringing home some Spanish rice in order to make Paella Pie! This is something that has never been done before and is at the forefront of pie research.

We all wish ARL the best of luck with her challenging #PiePledge ideas. Have you made one yet?

Dear all,

As British Pie Week looms closer, I can reveal that I will be making two “#PiePledge”s this year – both of which I am rather terrified of. I’ve been keeping them a secret for a while now, to give myself time to establish whether I am willing mount the challenge.

Now that I’ve mulled things over, I can unveil my pie pledges to the world.

But firstly, my oh my, hasn’t British Pie Week come round fast. Yes, it was a whole year ago that we were marvelling at SJL’s #OnlyPiesAllowed one-day challenge and RAS’s unremitting commitment to pie. As I reflect on my own experiences of last year, though, British Pie Week was a bit of a damp squib for me – and I have only myself to blame. I didn’t realise British Pie Week included the weekend, so technically I failed in my pledge to eat a pie for every day of the week!

This British Pie Week will be different. I pledge to make up for last year’s disappointment by making two “#PiePledge”s – and here they are:



1) #PorkiePies

In honour of the fine tradition of the British pork pie, I will welcome in British Pie Week by eating only pork pies for the entirety of Monday 3^rd March. No other food shall pass my lips! I will reject all fruit and vegetables, rice, salad, bread, pasta – all of these foods shall be banished to the back of the fridge. Unless it can prove itself to be a pork pie, I’m not going to eat it. For breakfast I’ll eat pork pies. For lunch I’ll eat pork pies. For dinner I’ll be attending the Princess Victoria Pork Pie Off, where I shall eat pork pies. I’d love it if you followed my pork pie journey on Monday, as I’ll be using the hashtag #PorkiePies. I have to say, the idea of this fills me with fear – but I’ll do it for the love of pies! Pork pies for a day, no porkies!

2) Python Pie

I’ve been showing a picture of a peculiar pink meat on Twitter, asking if you can #GuessTheMeat. Well I can reveal that the correct answer was: python! Yes, because on one day during British Pie Week, I will cook and eat a python pie. I haven’t yet decided how to cook my python meat, perhaps with a fish stock and some broccoli/peas. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have to admit I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to cooking python meat. I have tried miscellaneous snake meat once before, on a roadside in Malaysia. But it came in the form of soup, which was stringy and gelatinous – not to mention gag-inducing! But stick python meat in a pie, and I’m sure it will be delicious!…Right?...Oh I’m feeling s-queezy already.



So there you are - my two #PiePledges for British Pie Week! What are yours? See what pledges others are making. And SJL has already revealed his #PiePledge for British Pie Week – to eat a pie for every meal of the week!

Please note that if you have a pork pie that you’d like the Pierateers to try, or you’re interested in supporting the #PorkiePies pork pie challenge (or indeed any of the #PiePledge challenges we’re undertaking), of course feel free to contact us on Twitter @pierateers or email: pierateship@yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks all!

My mum is a bit of a legend when it comes to cooking, and her answer to any cookery question is always “Ask Delia”. So when I was looking for a proper, top-and-bottom crust, simple but tasty dessert pie, I turned to Delia Smith. This recipe is from Delia’s Complete Cookery Course, and uses lard for the shortcrust pastry. I’ve never made pastry with lard before, but I will definitely be using it from now on. The mix of lard and butter makes really crispy, flaky pastry and I could definitely tell the difference compared to using butter alone.

Dear Pie Community,

At Pierate we are encouraging people to take up a #PiePledge for British Pie Week. It can be anything a bit unusual to do with pie. Like British Pie Week itself a #PiePledge can help raise the profile of our favourite traditional British pastry product.

Last year I went a whole day eating only pies. I wasn't allowed to eat anything with the pies and consumed a total of 11 pies and 3362 kcal!

This year I want to do something a bit more balanced. There is a sentiment that pies are unhealthy which we believe is unfair. At Pierate we eat a lot of pies and we're a pretty skinny bunch despite having reviewed over 340 pies! (If you don't believe us just see our photo on the About Us page!) Part of the problem is that pies are not always combined with a balance diet and active lifestyle. I want to show that you can eat a lot of pies without becoming obese. I am therefore going to have PIE FOR EVERY MEAL during British Pie Week to make a total of at least 21 pies. I am going to do this whilst still getting my 5 portions of fruit and veg a day and a balanced diet. Just think about it, Pork Pie and salad or a Steak & Ale with mashed swede, you can have both nutritious and delicious! Then let us not forget that pies can have a variety of filling, many of which are healthy is their own right. I will carry-out a daily weigh-in to show that (hopefully) there is no affect on my weight. This will be documented in our daily British Pie Week diary as we did last year and with regular Twitter updates. I also pledge to match my own my pie consumption with donations of tinned pie fillings, packet mash/tinned veg and ready mix pastry (all you need to make a pie meal) to Gloucester foodbank.

This challenge is a bit of an unknown for me. I have an equal mix of excitement and trepidation. I am not sure if it will work but will give it my best shot. Follow my exploits on twitter with the hashtag #pie4everymeal.

I would like to focus particularly on one or two pie suppliers, especially if they have a pie which is good for breakfast (a meal which could be a problem!). If you want to become one of the pie suppliers/sponsors for this challenge then do get in touch with @pierateers on twitter or just send me an email to pierate@gmx.co.uk.

British Pie Week 2014 is from 3rd March to 9th March.

Lastly, a personal plea to make your own #PiePledge. See what pledges others are making.


Yours in Pastry

Over on Twitter I’m playing a little game of #GuessTheMeat.

I’m asking whether you can guess the meat I’m putting in the super-special pie I’m making for British Pie Week, to fulfil my rather ridiculous #PiePledge!



Of course, it’s just for fun (the Pierate budget of £0.00 can’t stretch to prizes unfortunately).
Let me know your guesses on Twitter or in the comments below. And while you’re at it, you can make your own #PiePledge for British Pie Week 2014!

So come on then, #GuessTheMeat!
