Default Foil tins running low,rising global aluminium prices : Pie Shortage

Foil tins running low due to rising global aluminium prices,
labour shortages and inflation



The Foil is needed
to cook the Pie.

They should wrap them up
say put on your tray.

[The British Pie Association is urging pie makers
to re-use foil tins amid shortages
The issue stems from surging aluminium prices
and shortages in China,
the world's biggest producer of the metal
But Britain's pie makers have insisted
they will continue to 'feed the nation']

It's all passive cooking - you mean they don't have the skill.

No you have to go and buy the ingredients
Prepare the ingredients
Cook the pie
People don’t have the time to eat it let alone cook it

I’m talking about a proper days work, not just sending a couple of emails and three phone calls that seem to make up a lot of people’s work days

aluminium and the foil are used in 1000 more common ways than as a pie liner

Oh do give it a rest DM. drove past a petrol station yesterday, they had fuel and
just one car was in there. You know why. Because the media has stopped
scaremongering. You are literally the enemy of the people.


Myrtle Grunge, Llandudno, United Kingdom, 14 hours ago

Until there are consequences for this kind of journalism, nothing will change.
We need an independent body with the power to take newspapers and media
sites to task for incitement. I'd love to see the smug remainer G r e i g hauled
into the courts and held personally responsible for this scaremongering and
reckless reporting.

The greatest trick capitalists ever pulled off was in convincing the working classes that working themselves to the bone is in some way "virtuous". Work smart and you'll be able to cook yourself a nice pie, Sheriff

WhateverWhatever work people do is work. Whether its manual or administrative, its work. I work 8 hours a day, albeit in an office answering calls and emails, interviewing, client visits but my hands are clean at the end of the day but that doesn't mean my work is less taxing than. someone who has a manual job....i have a child who has activities in the evening, a house to keep on top of a life to live and I can manage my time enough to ensure a cooked meal in the evening....batch cooking at weekend is the key. Like TS said, often its lack of skill and/or motivation that makes people reach for convenience foods like these pies. Its far cheaper to make your own, if you make the time for it.
