National Pie Day
Pies weren’t just for royalty or the rich. They were a staple food for everyone from peasants to labourers. Pie mash and liquor became a classic working-class meal.
There are many regional pies, but popular ones are Steak and Ale pie, Chicken and Mushroom, Shepherds pie/Cottage pie and regional specialities like Scotch Pie or Cornish Pie.
National Pie Day is an opportunity for pie lovers to enjoy either sweet or savoury pies. This day is an opportunity to enjoy the art of pie making. Bakers, pastry chefs and home cooks can showcase their skills and creativity by baking pies of all kinds.
To celebrate this day why not bake your favourite pie, host a pie tasting party with friends and family. Visit a local bakery and try their pie offerings. Organise a pie making contest or try a new recipe.
