After a pie-deprived 11 days, we hit the jackpot here in Nong Khian, courtesy of the once weekly night market.
Or did we???
Sweetcorn Pie:
Shaped like a small pasty, the pastry was tough and heavy on the lard content. It hadn't been improved by deep-frying. Filling-wise, it was, well, as described, sweetcorn.
A deep-fried pseudo pastry receptacle for tinned sweetcorn.
Disappointing.
Purple Sweet Potato Pie:
Pastry as above. Filling appeared to be a slice of potato, not sweet, but a violent violet colour.
Again, disappointing.
Green Bean Pie:
Pastry as above. Filling was a yellow paste which tasted vaguely of peas. Had it not been for the deep-fried lard fest encasing it, it might almost have been nice.
Mystery Pie:
A bit of a gamble, this one. The label was only in Thai, and the pie-lady spoke no English. However, an unknown pie is a challenge worth accepting.
Obviously, the pastry was lard-laced (and fried) and as for the filling.....
Orange and fibrous, it's difficult to be certain, but I think it was mango chutney. An unconventional and not very successful choice for a filling.
Desperately poor.
