Saturday 21 September, 2013 
Birmingham City 4 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday
St. Andrew's Stadium  -  Attendance: 14,379

Well, the match was a BIG improvement from the last outing, but would being back on our own patch help the pie situation......

 

 

Verdict:
I was greeted with fast, friendly service, which has become the norm at St. Andrews this season (about time too)!  And my Balti pie looked fantastic.

The flaky puff pastry on the top automatically put this pie on a pedestal compared to the weak showing of Burnley FC.

Again as is the norm with this years' pies, the filling was hot, tasty and had plenty of meat. Pukka (@PukkaPies) really seem to have nailed a good Balti filling.

The downside for this pie came at the bottom. It was undercooked and, as any good pie taster will tell you, that leads to unwanted levels of sogginess and greasiness.

As I've said before, in previous years this showing would have got a great score. But the bar has been raised this year, both by the Blues and Pukka, so it only gets:

SCORE : 7/10

 

 

A night game this Wednesday sets a big challenge - stock levels and quality usually suffer in midweek. Let's see what awaits.
