Are deep fried chocolate bars still the worst food concoction humans have come up with?

But they aren't "serious" foods people regularly eat and enjoy.

I do love a bit of Good Mythical Morning.

Breadcake if you're from Sheffield.

Bread cake?

BREAD CAKE?

Send UN Peacekeepers to Sheffield, clearly they're a failed state.

If I got a bread cake on my birthday, I'd call the NSPCC.

People who are so fussy as to dislike food in that manner are just mentally children as far as I am concerned.

Children eat food they dislike because they are told to.

Adults choose what they want to eat.

Same, used to have them all the time as kids but not seen them in the shop in ages.

Looking at Wikipedia I see no difference between a scotch pie and a regular pie you can buy in any branch of Tesco or a chip shop. What's special about them?

It’s a different type of pastry and stuff.

Apparently pie barm is a Wigan thing so I guess an entrepreneurial Boltonian imported the pie-in-bread idea. But I dunno about the regional thing, according to a couple of bread maps barm is north west but maybe more southerly than the 'crap towns that begin with B' axis. Roll, bap, barm, I think I've heard/used them all.

Your second image isn't working but I get what you mean, it's not shortcrust or puff lie more common pies. Is it the same pastry you get in a pork pie? It looks hard, buttery and crumbly.

I watched Wigan for a season and I'm gutted I never got in on their mad chip shop culture. Pea wet seems a bit bogging at first glance but I'd give it a go (I prefer to control the spread of watery sauces, e.g. bean juice, and not have it cover everything).

Yeah I think so, means you can fill that top with gravy when you cut into it flows down and in as there isn’t a sauce in the pie much like a pork pie.

That top pie looks lovely. Like it would make an amazing steak and kidney or beef and stilton pie

I know I've said it in here a lot but I have a really hard time with fussy eaters,. In completely intolerant. "We can't all like the same thing!". strawberry float off.

I wouldn’t mind a scotch pie, but not filled with mutton.

Now, can we talk about babies’ heads?
