Alternative names Catholic pie, Friday pie, air pie, a special Place of origin England Region or state Lancashire Main ingredients Potatoes , onions , butter
A butter pie is a traditional English savoury pie consisting mainly of onions and potatoes . It is also sometimes served on a savoury barm cake . The pie is stocked by chip shops , sandwich shops , local corner shops and some supermarkets within Lancashire. It is also known as Catholic pie , Friday pie , air pie or a special .
History [ edit ]
The pie is known to have been created for workers from Lancashire 's Catholic community, to consume on days (mainly Friday) when meat could not be eaten .[1] [2]
From 2006, the butter pie was included in the annual World Pie Eating Championship in Wigan, in the vegetarian category.[3]
Butter pies were served on match days at Deepdale , the stadium of Preston North End F.C. until 2007 when the providers, Ashworth Foods Ltd, ceased trading. With the new providers, Holland's Pies not offering a butter pie, two Preston North End fans started a campaign on Facebook calling for the return of butter pies to the matchday menu.[2] [4] [citation needed
This dish is also mentioned in the Paul and Linda McCartney song "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey ", which contains the lyrics, "I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie".
Areas served [ edit ]
The butter pie is served in most areas of the historic boundaries of Lancashire , including Blackburn , Blackpool , Bolton , Burnley , Bury , Chorley , Lancaster , Preston , St Helens and Wigan (whose residents are sometimes known by the nickname pie-eaters ).[5]
