'I had the best pie of my life on one of Manchester's last cobbled streets'
All pies are not created equal. The best pie I’ve ever eaten was in fact a pudding, which, I think, is surely a type of pie. And it was the other week. I’ve been eating puddings, of varying quality, all my life. They’re much of a muchness, reliably fine at whichever chip shop you decide to stumble into.
