Th typical mountains of flaky pastry served on top of pies these days are ridiculous. Sadly, the true S+K (aka Snake & Pygmy) has almost disappeared, and has now been almost completely replaced by steak and ale or steak and Guiness pies. There's a really excellent S+A pie with a very good shortcrust pastry at the Hart Inn in Sandsend on the north Yorkshire coast. http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/138940-2/20080907-_MG_8906.jpg The Rose Inn on the bridge at Pickering does a good one with ruff-puff pastry here are two that got away http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/179151-1/_MG_0254.jpg and there's a very good traditional, home-baked S+A at the Station Hotel in Grosmont (with homemade shortcrust pastry and fresh veggies - not frozen). The S+G pies at the Three Fiddles in Guisborough are well worth trying too. Jerry, 80/- is a quite strong McEwans Scottish ale (4.5% abv) , sadly now only available as a keg ale and in bottles, the cask (barrel) ale was discontinued in January 2007. The 80/- refers to the duty based on strength that was levied on each barrel.
