Does it really matter if it's described as a Casserole with a pastry lid or a pie without a pastry base? What I'm more concerned with is that it has over 5K of people who think this is a serious issue!!!!!!

Ohh man, if I was in UK I totally would sign!

 

It is a serious issue in Canada too.  Lots of times I would go to a new Pub, and order a pie, only to be given a stew in a pot with crusty pastry on top.

Not a bloody PIE that I expected and wanted.  Again and again, the menus LIE to us, citizens!

 

I now have sought out a frozen pie shop (of very proper standard and quality) and bake proper pies at home, since those casseroles just do not satisfy my pie cravings.

God damn right, it is!   It is a devious consumer deception at the mass level.

 

It goes without saying, that you are obviously not a pie connoisseur, my dear Sir.

another one would be:

"prevent americans wrongly using the phrase 'i could care less', which is illogical and actually means the reverse of what they are saying.

 

"I COULD CARE LESS" - meaning: i really care a lot about this, and there is scope for me dropping the level i do care

"I COULDN'T CARE LESS" - meaning: i already care the least amount i can about this and don't give a $#!^

Surely there is enough restriction and unfairness in the UK as it is without more somewhat pointless red tape? There's already the offence of selling an item not as described if you are that concerned.

"prevent everyone wrongly using the phrase 'i could care less', which is illogical and actually means the reverse of what they are saying.

 

"I COULD CARE LESS" - meaning: i really care a lot about this, and there is scope for me dropping the level i do care

"I COULDN'T CARE LESS" - meaning: i already care the least amount i can about this and don't give a $#!^

FTFY

To be fair its just a bit of good humor, Surely everyone noticed that right?

 

It would be funny if say well the whole idea of the petitions if it gets the required number of signatures it gets discussed in parliament for every one to see. That would be funny!!

No, it doesn't mean they care a lot, it means they care a little bit, but they could care a little less, but not much

I hate to be that guy but....

 

 

 

"A baked dish of fruit, or meat and vegetables, typically with a top and base of pastry."

Doesn't that imply that a pie can also NOT have a base and/or top made of pastry? Therefore what you are being served could technically count as a pie?

 

Get your definition right, then we can talk

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

[xrobwx71]

Is this the same thing as a pasty? I have a customer who happens to be from Scotland and he and his wife just started a new business here in Florida,USA and they make these delightful/awesome things called Pasty's. I have never had one until he gave me one now I've gained about 8 lbs in the last month because of these awesome effing things. 

 

Here is his website. http://eatmypasty.com/

haha No a pasty is different. Pasty's are magnificent. 

[cooky560 Veteran]

To be a -proper- pie, the pastry MUST be made of suet! Nice & thick & crunchy & really really bad for you!
