Pineapple pies.

Googled it.

Dick Emery in the blond wig. I bet you the PC Brigade would have complained big time if he appeared now. He was so funny.

I used to make them in a bakery many years ago in Cornwall. Baked pastry cases, a layer if pineapple jam, a swirl of synthetic cream, then runny pineapple flavoured yellow icing, fondant we called it and I think a cherry on top. I don’t remember actually eating one but they must have been very sweet and sickly!

Blame Resurgam, I'm an innocent!

Just remembered. Ooh you are awful, but I like you.

Oooh you are awful Marydoll.

I’ve forgotten which comedian said that but I know he did some cross-dressing for the show. ?

How phallic do you want?

Had I better stop being rude. I don't know what has become of me.
Will I get told off.

????

I don't think I will ever be eat one ( a pineapple pie) again! ??

Phallic?? What sort of willies have you been looking at??!

Not so phallic, but not as exciting!

How could anyone BU about pineapple pies?

Like that but not looking quite so phallic.

M&S has them if anyone's interested. I bought a box of 4 to take to a friend. I found them very sweet indeed and really couldn't face a second one (which is saying something!!)

I've been craving pineapple ever since!

If your pineapple pie/cream/tart mission proves unsuccessful let me know and I’ll stick some in the post to you - it will give me an excuse to pay Greggs a visit! ?

I am going to ask my choir friend if she could see if they have them in her Iceland store and bring me some tonight when we go to choir tonight.
No stone will be unturned in my pineapple pie mission. ? ?

The shop, not Reykavik

Thank you Resurgam for my first giggle of the day!
?

So its good to know they might still be available. It appears that Iceland sell them .
I will not drive the 10 miles round trip to Iceland today.
The shop, not Reykavik.
It seems to be a popular in Scotland.

Thank you.

They are indeed super, sickly sweet. We can buy them as individual cakes or tarts, like in the blog.
There is a layer of pineapple jam between the pastry and the cream.
All the major supermarkets sell them here, as well as independent bakers.

Are they super sweet? I just rummaged thru the pantry looking for a can of pineapple! I also found this blog ..

They look amazing ..

Ps may be should have called them 'creams' rather tarts

Marydoll blast from the past.

My paternal grandmother always had some in for when we visited.
Unlike my maternal gran, who loved to bake, she wasn't a domestic goddess (a bit like myself), she would quite happily nip to the bakery for some pineapple tarts and strawberry tarts.

Unfortunately after a couple pineapple tarts and glass of ironbru (only usually allowed at grans) I would feel quite sick!

Long time since I have tasted one.

Love pineapple and raspberry creams ❤️ They often appear in our NHS tea breaks (because we practice what we preach, obviously!)

My Aunt used to get me the pineapple ones in Glasgow as a treat , strawberry tarts too I seem to remember

Lyons used to make a pineapple tart in a little cardboard box. Other flavours too. I had them for my school packed lunch in the 50s. Love the pineapple one best. Haven't seen then for decades.
