£3:49 New M&S Foods Fish & Chips Pie

[Ammi]

..will you try it..?...

M&S, a company intrinsically associated with British traditions, has gone one step further and taken that classic fare - fish and chips - and turned it into another time-honoured treat - a pie.

Part of its Gastropub range, the pie - which has been handcrafted in Yorkshire - is an all-butter pastry case containing a layer of minted pea puree, covered by chunks of cod in a béchamel based tartare sauce. It is topped with chips and smoked sea salt

The pie takes 35 minutes to cook in the oven (about the same time as the queue at my local chippy on a Friday night) and contains 581 calories and 31g of fat - roughly the same as a BLT sandwich.

At the time of reporting, no samples of the much-tweeted pie were available but, in the name of serious journalism, MSN Food will be trying one as soon as possible...

A pie for one costs £3.49 and is available from Marks & Spencer stores from 22 April

Ew

[Jessica.]

I would try it but Ireland doesn't have that supermarket so I probably never will. :hugesmile:

[Me. I Am Salman]

[Ammi]

I would try it but Ireland doesn't have that supermarket so I probably never will. :hugesmile:

..you don't have M&S..?...I'll send you one when it goes on sale...

[Jordan.]

I thought ew but after seeing and reading it sounds quite nice

[Jack.]

It sounds nice might have to try one

[Samm]

What's the point you will get more out of it if you have it with out the pie, wouldn't mind if they made the pie bigger

[Ammi]

I thought ew but after seeing and reading it sounds quite nice

..I think if you like fish pie it might be ok apart from the pastry, but I would just leave that bit...

[Loukas]

Yeah :amazed:
looks so much nicer than i initially pictured in my head :spin:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Can remember the pasty shop at Paddington station selling a pasty for a while which was apparently fish, chips and mushy peas flavour, never risked trying it though

[Princess]

I would try it but Ireland doesn't have that supermarket so I probably never will. :hugesmile:

What? We do have M&S, in Dublin at least, I don't know about everywhere else.

[Jords]

Looks tasty but will be unhealthy AF.

[Jessica.]

What? We do have M&S, in Dublin at least, I don't know about everywhere else.

:shocked: This is brand new information, although I looked it up and they only have like 15 stores in Ireland and most are in Dublin, there's none in Limerick, so it's the same situation. :joker:

[Ammi]

Looks tasty but will be unhealthy AF.

..yeah, there are all sorts of heart problems going on in that pie..:laugh:...it's ok so long as you don't eat it all the time though...

[this is not just any portion of fish and chips … this is Marks and Spencer fish and chips. And it comes in a pie – complete with a layer of mushy peas.

The extraordinary creation is made from chunks of cod, pea puree and tartar sauce, all held together in shortcrust pastry and topped off with a chip ‘lid’.

Designed to treat indecisive eaters to a mixture of two traditional favourites of British cuisine, the pie is due to hit the shelves later this month, priced at £3.49.]

Had one a few weeks ago, it was great
