Steak and ale pie with bizarringredient crowned championt Br

A STEAK, ale and Stilton cheese creation has been named supreme champion at the British Pie Awards.

The crusty concoction called Moo and Blue rose up to beat a record 907 rivals to the coveted title.

Each was sampled by 150 judges at the UKs pork pie capital, Melton Mowbray inLeicestershire.

Family-run Brocklebys Pies, based in the county, added the top award to more than 30 accolades it has collected at the event over the years.

Rival pie entries included Marmite-and-cheese, kebab and lasagne.

As well as attracting a record number of pies and pastries, the awards organisers recruited judges from major retailers, including Selfridges andTesco, to work alongside chefs and pie experts.

Awards chairman Matthew OCallaghan said: We are always highly encouraged to see the nations love of pies and this year there has been a huge level of excitement and creativity.

Brocklebys has overcome exceptionally stiff competition for not only the best hot-eating savoury pie, but has ­triumphed over all and been crowned supreme champion.

These awards celebrate the skill of British piemakers across the nation, so Id like to say a particular congratulations to Brocklebys for this huge success.

The meat treat contrasts with last years supreme champion, Pieministers gluten-free Mooless Pie.
