When I first started watching I looked forward to the pie, peas and gravy or a nice bovril with mushy peas more than the majority of the first half, I think bovril and peas with a spoon was about 80p and pie peas and gravy was about 1.60 or so. I would happily pay double this as that was about 1984 so obviously inflation comes into it.
The difference is that the product now appears to be shite, caterers could still make a decent profit flogging bovril with a scoop of mushy peas at say 1.75 and pie peas and gravy at 4 quid, even if just a Holland’s pie.
Cost for pie chips and gravy, bought in bulk, is about 75p, add staff costs and cooking etc call it 1.50 being stupidly generous, still a huge profit. 1.60 for a twix, you can get 4 for a quid!
Someone is fleecing us, so just don’t buy anything there and tell everyone else not to, remember Northampton away years ago when pie stands were boycotted!!!! |
Bovril and peas,that's a pot of peas and nothing else like chips with it? If the peas have sold out are beans an acceptable alternative? Why have just a bowl of peas on their own? I'm not having a pop at you Thacks as I'm presuming it's normal in Rochdale
I honestly would like to take the p1ss out of you lot for a tread lasting six pages about pies but having gone through it there's some serious posts about the situation on here,it seems like a serious concern in which you are all United and making a stand against which seems bizarre to me,I think that there was some complaints about the quality of the pies at Meadow Lane on a Notts forum once and it went like this....
"The pies was like cardboard today" ...
"Yeah next time I'm buying a pasty"....
" I'm bringing in some crisps and a Mars bar from home ".... And seriously that was the extent of the conversation |  |

Can still remember the Pie, peas and gravy that i used to buy from the kiosk in the corner of the Sandy and Willbutts. The chaps names i think was Ashworth, and he ran a printers based in Woodhouse Mill up Norden at the time. Simply the best, the gravy was actually homemade Oxtail soup, so thick i would put hairs on your chest and lead in your pencil, Halcyon days indeed! sounds better than today's offering? |  | | |

Jack Ashworth.
It was like napalm. It stripped the skin off the roof of your mouth if you weren't careful, but it was a life saver on cold nights. Bloody marvellous stuff. |  |

Did someone mention that a Pasty was thrown onto the pitch last night.
Just wondering whether it may have been a throw of no confidence in the catering or what ? | | | |

Yes, I mentioned it. It was more expensive than the whole of the Bolton squad.
By the way, I did not buy nor throw it - I wouldn't waste my money on a scandalously priced piece of pitch-damaging tat. |  |

Go to Great Yarmouth and you can buy a bowl of mushy peas on the market. Even in “up market” Norwich market you can buy mushy peas on their own or with a submerged pie. Not just a Rochdale delicacy. | | | |

Talking of food customs, when I was at university in an unnamed Yorkshire city, I visited a greasy spoon to obtain a morning cure for the previous night’s reverie.
I ordered a sausage butty.
The buxom lass behind the counter promptly asked: “D’yer want thum dipped, luv?”
While I was trying to overcome my bashfulness, and, dare I say it, excitement, I realised she was asking if I wanted the sausages lowered into a vat of peeled plum tomatoes prior to them being laid on the bread.
A strange, but actually quite tasty, experience. |  |

Similarly, when ordering a breakfast in the Trent Bridge café and was asked "would you like toast with that, duck", I thought the last word was an instruction so almost fell to the floor in answering "yes please". | |

The Old Bridge Inn in Ripponden serves up a decent pork pie, but insists on adding mint sauce. Just weird | |

Given that the kiosks only have a finite window to sell their fayres and that the ones in the TDS had healthy queues throughout half time last night with a sparse home crowd, i would recommend that prices are put up even more to capitalise on the willingness of people to part with their £££
The £2.60 ‘happy meal’ is a bargain! |  |
