BRITISH PIE WEEK POLL FOR THE MOST BEARD FRIENDLY PIE OF 2020: VOTE ENDS MIDNIGHT
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with British Pie Week running from 2-8th March its annual poll on the most Beard Friendly Pie is live on-line. It will close at midnight on 7th March
The hirsute campaign group say that as with many prepared foods the requirements of people with beards are often overlooked when it comes to pies. The outcome of the annual poll often reflects that with traditional pies designed for eating ‘on the go’ easily beat leading pie brands.
The BLF says that common issues with pies for those with beards are:
Excessive gravy
Puff or flaky pastry which ends up in the beard not the mouth
‘Deep filling’ making it difficult to avoid contact of the pie with the beard
The campaigners cite some types of the traditional steak and kidney pie as an example of pies which are made without thought for the requirements of the hirsute pie consumer. Such pies often have excessive gravy- and comparatively little steak and kidney- which ends up in the beard.
Unfortunately the same issues tend to apply to many vegetarian and vegan pies too
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, with an increase in vegetarian and vegan cuisine the range of pies available is now much greater than 5 years ago but the question of how beard friendly they are is key for the hirsute. So far meat focused pies lead but this poll is about how beard friendly pie is regardless of the contents
