Championing Proper British Food and Drink

At this time of year it's time to champion those seasonal foods. Yep, the Christmas Pudding and Mince Pies. 

Pies are a British speciality, whether it's pies made with meat, vegetables or savouries. There is a place in the south of France called Pezenas where Clive (of India fame) settled and he abhorred the local food so a local baker made him a special pastry encrusted pie, now sold locally in that area and known as Clive Pies. A curried raisin type of pie. We've had them and they were indeed delicious.
