Most places the pies are made to an LCD standard. Fruit pies, cream pies,
sugarless pies, etc. I seldom order pie when dining out. Unless I have
experience of that particular venue's baker(s).

I've never understood hanging meat. What was its offence? But, the Brits have
always been pretty vindictive. They once hung one of their politicians who
displeased those in power. Then someone higher up decided that hanging was not
sufficient - so they dug up the body and subjected the corpse to drawing and
quartering. An odd folk at times.

Here is a proper use for beef fat ....
