Hollands Pies!!!!!!

[Novice Gardener]

My mouth is watering...... and I'm feeling very homesick. I've lived down south for over 22 years now, more than half my life and I suppose I feel more of a southerner than a northerner...... but am sat here watching Burnley V Spurs and have just noticed that Burnleys kit is sponsered by Hollands Pies..........mmmmmmmmm, i'm drooling at the thought of a Hollands meat and potato pie, chips peas and gravey mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Am up north next month visiting my sis, so I'll be taking a big freezer box to stock up Does anyone else get strange longings that remind them of "home"

hollands pies are THE grossest YUKKKKKKKKKKK ...... not helped by the fact i used to deliver there, and the premises were awful (maybe they improved now it was about 10 years ago lol) ...... but i still don't like the taste.

when i go abroad i always take a box of tea bags ...... can never guarantee you're gonna get a good cuppa, so best being prepared

Living only 5 miles from the Holland's pie factory, I could eat one every day - I choose not to! ..... but Vimto, now that's whole different story!!

You beat me to it The only thing that makes me feel nostalgic food-wise is really GOOD fish and chips. I was brought up in Hull so fish in the chippies was always fresh from the docks and tasted fantastic. It's all frozen at sea now and just doesn't taste the same

Chorley Cakes, warmed with fresh butter.........home....

[kernowyon]

a bit obvious but it has to be a Cornish Pasty, not the mass produced stuff from the likes of the west cornwall pasty co. or even worse a gangsters, sorry ginsters piece of s**t wrapped in pastry, but a real 'proper' one like my mum and gran used to make.

Being a Sheffielder living in Skegness I miss "proper" fishcakes where a piece of fish is sandwiched between two slices of potato and covered in batter. On visits to see family back there we buy half a dozen or so to take back with us and freeze them and I soon discovered where in Skeg to buy Hendersons Relish which is so much better than the muck named after a certain county.

You would not believe how many tea bags I have tucked away here
Porrage oats, golden syrup, bovril and tabasco are the other things we stock up on each time we go back.

Mind you, when we came back at Christmas we brought back a huge tv too.....
