I am not sure to be honest Gerry cos I usualy eat them on the sleekit. Put it like this if a pass a bakers and a hivnae had wan and a get a wee whiff of a Pie and smells good am Fecked a hiv tae have wan, and if it is really good and I wolf it down to fast I will go for another.Problem is whebn I get back tae my Ma's she knows I like a pie so she usually has won for me as well for a wee snack  afore my supper. Next thing is when I go visit any
relatives they usualy hiv a Pie for me as well as they all know I like them but they usualy have staek pie and thats just Magic. I can do a few Pies no problem there. But Pies are nothing, to when it comes to a pot of ham ribs.It would not be the first time I have went up to the shops in the Arcade and cleaned oot the Butchers of all the ribs.

This is a true Story once when I went hame with my brother Tony.The both of us say tae Ma mammy wit aboot some Ribs the night Ma ok she says you two go up tae the shoaps and get them, much will we get Ma I dont know she says hiv a look and see fur yersels bring them hame and i'll dae thum fur yeez.

We both go tae the shoaps and look in the butchers windae and he has loads. So my fly arse brother says you go in and get the Ribs while I run roon and put a line on. Fly Bassa copped the price of them .I go in and the butchers says yes I say gie me Ribs he says how much, a dont know what weight tae say so a say geez the whole tray!!! what he says ? I say aye gist geez the lot Fecket. he fulls two message bags and am oot of there.Donner roon tae the cream cookies and my brother comes oot sees what
I got and says magic big man. I tell him the price and he says square ye up later (a know what that meant ) anyway I take thum hame and ma Mammy says Jesus Mary and Joseph, al hiv tae use awe ma pots.

Thats fine so me and my bro go oot for the day. We meet my other Brother Mick and he hangs aroon wae us all day then hes driving us hame and daft arse Tony says to him jist as we get tae the close weer hivin Ribs the night. Oh well he says a hivnae hid ribs for ages I say tae him dont think theres enough Mick and then Tony says I they ur dont be a big greedy bassa come oan up tae ma Mas Mick fur yer supper, a think awe well there is hunners anyway probly right. We get intae the hoose and the smell of the Ribs and Cabbage is driving me mental.

My Mammy fulls the three of us plates and a wee plate fur herself and the three of us go at it like a prile of cavemen.I finish furst and then realise I didnae hod on tae a wee bit for a roll with my tae, I think awe well that was graet so it wiz and we all sit back my Ma says Thomas goin put on the tea ok says me and away intae the kitchen I go and I look and the oven is still on I shout tae ma Mammy hey Ma how come ye still got the oven on.

Dezi's Dinner is in there he will be hame soon fae work!!!!! FECK I forgot aboot him my other brother who isnae merried at this time I look in the oven and ye want tae have seen the plate of ribs she has left for him her wee Baby boy I shout to her "haw Ma that load ye left him wid feed an army ' jist you dont touch them she says there his, he has been workin awe dae, the other two chime in aye leave thum ya greedy big bassa. I start whining
about nae woner I couldnae get maer fur a roll with ma tea and it was me that paed for them. My Maw knows the score dives in and says ok well jist take wee bit for a roll as she stands there and supervises the amount I take for a roll. I will never forget that day we all had a laff every time I left the livin room my Ma wid follow me oot jist in case I went intae the oven.;-)))))) So Ribs is my first choice Pies second Gerry hope I answered yer question ;-)))))))))
