Anyone on here who ended up at St Athan in Wales must have experienced the Cardiff Clark's Pies, personally I didn't get on with them, the pastry didn't do anything for me. Much preferred the Peters flat corned beef pasties from nearby Caerphilly loads of pepper in these but god knows what else!

With a few hours off from a detachment to Leuchars, I remember visiting a caff in Dundee with a grizzled old Scottish AEO, who ordered "Pie, beans and chips twice, hen", on our behalf.
Strangely that meal sticks in my memory when many other grander ones have been long forgotten
GlobalNav - British cuisine can be found all over the world. Have you never had a curry?

Good Lord! No wonder my ancestors immigrated the New World, and for the of me one can hardly find an "English" restaurant outside GB.

That would be Mr Delpippo's emporium. His fat fryer was coal-fired and he used dripping - none of that cooking oil stuff - which meant his fish and chips were very moreish. Then he went modern, changed to electric and the food never tasted the same again.
The army bakery at MPA would produce jock pies if you asked nicely and had something to barter.
The excellent Jockistani chip shop close to Leuchars always used to ensure that their 'scotch pies' were served piping hot....
...by the simple expedient of dunking them in the deep fat fryer for a few moments!

I remember at Lossie you used to phone the local taxi firm who would then pop round the local chippie, buy the pie and chips and deliver them to you on camp, you then paid for them and the fare, they did a roaring trade without actually carrying any passengers.
Rather trusting really, but it obviously worked well to everyone's satisfaction or they wouldn't have done it.

Was a blessing when the Treasure pagoda opened.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Wander, I know he died before Christmas but I would be surprised if they had closed.

The best pie I've found so far in Oz is the curry pie made by Kipling's Bakery at Port Wakefield, SA.
The friendly staff have to warn you that the curry pie is hot, as in spicy, and contains sultanas, they've had some complaints.
Who'd have thought it, a curry pie being hot
The vast majority of the other pies I've tried would make a bad jock pie taste like H'aute Cuisine.

And this is the military version, we have made them look like babies heads

And as you can see this one saved a Soldiers life, he had it in his pocket when it was struck by an SLR round.

PN - I am delighted to be able to defer to you - I am delighted to say that Lakings remain open - a misunderstanding between me and the former Practice Nurse at the Grimoldby GP's surgery, where she worked for an old school chum, who was the GP and an aviation medical examiner, and is still flying from Gamston.
Summer 1981; BB family and family of distinguished Vulcan, Tornado and latterly Harrier simulator nav ( that must have pi%%ed off a few knuckleheads) holidayed in Carsthorne on the northern littoral of the Solway and ventured to Dalbeattie for early morning sustenance. The distinguished officer ordering eight Jock pies. The waitress, one Aggie, served us with a look of scorn. The pies were wonderful.

Jock Pie delivery
Nut loose at #27- that was probably me, '75-'78. Finish in ops at 18.00, walk to AMQ in Hythe Hill, have tea, down to AARONS taxis, drive until 01.30, home, sleep, then back to ops for 07.30. (Not on Fridays, my Wife worked in the Hythe Hill chippie and bought me a treat of a half rack of ribs at .50p out of her wages, to go with that weeks two tins of McE's Export) Of course, that wasn't when I was selling fish to Conningsby courtesy of 8 Sqn. cargo lines. Brilliant exchange rate at Conningsby for local Lincolnshire produce! Of course I wouldn't have had to do that if "They" had brought in the proposed Scottish LOA. I have often wondered why my children hate Jock Pies and Haggis.

Did some work last year at Ronaldsway,IoM & the petrol station just outside sold Jock Pies.I was a bit disappointed,I think 40 years ago they tasted much better.
The best pies in the world are the Chicken Balti ones sold at Watford FC's Vicarage Road.
