15 JULY 2002: “Music
is not the food of love. The pies are so much better.”
“This was the Glastonbury
of food, Pastie-onbury, maybe except I didn’t have
a pastie. But man, the Square
Pie Company was for me the equal of Pulp
headlining in 1995.
Their World Cup Pie cam with a bostin’ mash and gravy
that could mount a healthy
takeover bid on Heavens Ambrosia”
Caitlin Moran, The Times, Mon 1st July
Quick update on the Square
Pie World Cup, apologies for the late result but
we’ve all been down in Glastonbury
Festival selling pies, which was
fantastic.
The Pie World Cup finished
on Sunday with a play off between the favourites
England Steak and Kidney
Pie and the dependable Irish Lamb Stew. Both teams
went for it from the beginning
and in the highest scoring game of the
tournament so far both teams
sold out by the end of the day – we had made
the same amount of each
to be fair. In the end the Cup went to the English
Steak and Kidney on a Golden
Pie as they sold out quicker than the Irish.
The Steak and Kidney will
now become a permanent fixture on the Square Pie
menu at the shop in Spitalfields
Market and after some great reaction other
world cup pies will come
back as weekly special now and then, namely the
Uruguayan Rabbit, Spanish
Chorizo, French Beef Bourguignon, Irish Lamb Stew
and the amazing Senegalese
Chicken Yasser. We will never sell a
German
Bratwurst
and Sauer Kraut pie again.
Other pie news, the shop
has just adopted Gordon the baby Orangutan at
Monkey World in Dorset
and will be making a special pie in the shop based on
what the primates eat
down there. Well that’s the idea. We’re chatting to
the wardens down there and
the chimps seem to have pretty upmarket
tatsetbuds so we’ll let
you know when we come up with the final recipe. For
each sale of these pies
we will make a donation to Monkey World which
rehabilitates abused Chimps,
Orangs and other primates. More on this to
come soon when we sort it
all out.
