Pie and Mash; and Balti!

A recent article in a food magazine called Vittles criticises a move to go for protected status for London’s pie and mash. If boiled mash (no butter allowed), meat pie with eel liquor and chilli vinegar floats your boat then fine but give me a proper balti anytime.

Having said that, although the pie and mash shops are disappearing at an alarming rate, I would have no objection if it wasn’t for one fact. 

The bid for Balti to get protected status was refused initially because the term was now in common usage so best of luck with ‘pie and mash’!!
