Steak pie on New Years' Day

[BertrandRussell]

What's this all about? Is it a West coast thing?

[bluek]

I thought we all did it

[DannyBhoy]

It can sometimes be eaten just after the bells.

I thought we all did it

So did I. :?

[BertrandRussell]

I only really noticed it for the first time this year (few mates, all from Glasgow or Ayrshire, telling me they were having steak pie).

Never heard of it before.

Naw. Went to New Year's Day parties in Hawick every year and never once had steak pie.

[Archiebaird]

That's weird, I've heard of a few folk doing it in Edinburgh. I'd never heard of it before moving here and assumed it was an Embra thing. :?

Hawick's a backwater. They'll start having steak pie in a few years.

[BertrandRussell]

Maybe it is.

I just wondered. I googled it and the answers all seem to suggest it's a Scotland wide thing.

I never really associate that day with eating at all. Just drinking.

Very rock and roll.

This was when I was a kid. Moved to Edinburgh when I was 18.

The party never stops, does it?

[BertrandRussell]

What crazy shenanigans do you get up to at the New Year like?

:?

[aintnosurf]

Its certainly a West Coast thing for me

No bad thing when participating B)

steak pie just after the bells is as old as the hills.

used to do it years ago, but dont bother now.

Steak pie at hogmanay is the only reason i plod through a year, if the missus said there was no steak pie, i'd probably wreck the joint.
