Pie slag

[Snurfen]

Can any northeners on the board confirm or not the following.......

When a pie furnace is capped off and the pour begins, BEFORE the pastry or filling goes into the bogey car, is the residue that runs off the top REALLY called "pi slag"?

I'm sure my mate from Denbydale is teasing me about this.

[Mr Bean]

Not being a Northerner I can't confirm for sure, but I remember seeing something about this on TV one time.

I think if I remember rightly it depended on whether it was a type 1 or type 2 bogey car.

Something about the shift pattern I think.

And I always thought a pi slag was a young woman of ill repute who hung around with Dammit's mate!

No Neddy I think your mate is takin the p1$$
The only pie slag I know is Edna at the local bakery.. who lovingly hand crafts each meat and tatty pie... with a fag hanging out the corner of her mouth. Ohh how I laugh when I come across the chargrilled flavour of an inch of Woodbine ash.
Hope this helps.

Google says,"NO!"

Anne says "eh eh eh ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Dibnah used to use his pi slag for getting the clinkers out of his "old thunderer". The one he used to do that documentary where he tugged a romany around the UK.

correction to that last post, should have read "romany caravan".
Apologies if I didn't offend anyone.

one of our top tv cynics recently said he'd eaten flipper. compared it to eating a baked kitchen glove filled with wallpaper paste :eek:

Think I'll pass on this recipe, thanks all the same mate :rotflmao:

"pi slag"?
I notice the title of this thread is different...Why was this made when I was gone, I wonder???

To answer the original question, maybe pie, but not pi.

[Snurfen]

Where've you been? I didn't know you'd gone anywhere?

Sleeping while this thread was created, then at school (half-day today).

I like the second part of your sig., except I like the combination of detailed knowledge and general common sense. :thumbsup:
