When too many pies are never enough

We left Gosport and drove back to Ledbury today to visit our friendly butcher and baker of pies David Waller. We thought we'd visit and collect supplies. It's always such a difficult choice cause everything looks so tempting.
We decided on a small piece of Game Pie for lunch on the run, very convenient.

Then for a picnic dinner we chose a piece of a much larger Pork & Pistachio Pie which was liberally laced with garlic, an original standard Pork Pie and a Wild Boar Pie. There was also a Beef & Stilton pie, but we thought we'd be sensible and call it a day.

Then we saw a Pork Meatloaf which had been lattice wrapped in streaky bacon. Yummo.... that can tomorrow nights meal with mash.

Feeling vey pleased with ourselves we said that was it. We hadn't seen David to chat to on this occasion, we were served by his trusted offsider. The butcher could detect a savage interest in pies, on John's part and also detected a 'not from around here' type accent. We told him we'd been returning here for years because his pies were soooo good. He was very pleased and on account of our loyalty, he'd throw in the Beef & Stilton one to try.

So much for self restraint....
We will return next Friday for more supplies and hopefully a chat with David...
Let the Foody experience begin!
