If I was in charge, I would...

- ban people who serve stew with a pastry lid calling it "pie

I agree with most of this- though I quite like puff pastry for covering with sundried tomatoes and mozzarella and baking.

I'd also ban Tubthumping by Chumbawumba.

Oh dear lord YES. Bloody idiots.

I make Norwegian spiced onion pie, and that has puff pastry as a base. It's yum.

I note with some hilarity, that I may have just incurred Anita's pie wrath again, but this time for having a 'pie' without a lid, rather than a pie with only a lid.

And for the inclusion of puff pastry, which is banned generally.

You're not making my pies, girl!

[mr_h_r_hughes]

I'm with you on pies but retesting every 10 years...it may be safe but I would HATE doing that.

I'd ban Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, too fast to actually dance to, and irritating

Anyone caught driving without insurance or when banned to have their car confiscated and sold at auction

[november_girl]

I think that happens sometimes already, but no harm in making it more widely used - save for in cases where it's the insurance company's cock up.

You have clearly never eaten my meat and potato pie.

I love pie. I also love stews with pastry lids. However, stews with pastry lids are not pies. :-)

[lstn_natalie]

But what would you call it, then, when (for instance) you have guests over and you tell them what you'll be making?

And what about Sheperd's Pie and Cottage Pie? Where will the madness end?!

:D

Can everyone stop talking about pies unless they can actually arrange for one to appear before me RIGHT NOW *drool*
