pot pies
Talking about pies, I remember as a kid going once a week to the Pie and Pea shop in Eldon Street. I used to get pies for the whole family and took a jug or dish with me for the peas. There was always a queue a mile long for them, They did not sell anything else; just pies and peas. I suppose that was the old times version of a fast food take away.

Yes I remember pot pies from the 1A caff......where did you get your pot pie from now, wizzy?
I worked in Fowler Street and my bosses used to get these massive take-out dinners from there. There was literally a mountain of food on the plate, usually pot pies and loads of gravy, peas and mashed potato.
If you remember the lady who ran it, her name was Mrs Krapp (honest!).
