Pieminister hits the shops
In the summer I had the pleasure of attending Bestival, on the Isle of Wight. I heard great things about a food stall named Pieminister - though I was never actually able to dine on their pies. From what I understood, Pieminister was rather legendary on the festival circuit and had built up a phenomenal reputation in the pie-consuming community.
A couple of days ago I was perusing the pie aisle of Sainsbury's, and spotted a Pieminister pie! Naturally I had to make a purchase, and the pie was incredible. So yes, Pieminister pies are now on sale in Sainsbury's!
While I had the Henny Penny chicken and mushroom pie, this Heidi pie was the Champion of the vegetarian section in the 2009 British Pie Awards and Pieminister's Chicken of Aragon pie also won a gold medal in the savoury hot category.

Snooker Championships get Pukka deal!
Here are the Pierate Ship we are thrilled that one of our followers has already drawn our attention to a pie-related news story. With your continued lookout we can be sure that no thrilling pie news goes under our radar (or out of view of our telescope up in the Crows Nest).
Yes, this is the news that one of Britain's favourite pie manufacturers, Pukka Pies, will be sponsoring the 2009 UK Snooker Championships which takes place in December. We're slightly baffled by the link between pies and snooker, though we can be sure that with such a large television exposure there will be a huge "cue" at the chip shops!
