'Amber Spice'...sounds like one of Lynx's Deodorant Sprays !!....
Whatever you do Mike do not trust any snack which purports to have it's origins in Eastern climes !...
I still waken up in the early hours in a cold sweat having had nightmares about the Chicken Balti Pies purchased at The Kassam Stadium and last season at Luton !!.
It is Redraine these memories of the lamentable efforts of the Baking staff at Pukka Pies which stimulated me to reply with an 'ugh' to your advice regarding purchasing one or more of the objects of mystery produced in their kitchens !!.
Mike!, having fears for your well-being, I repeat my impassioned plea.....leave the Oriental Pies to the fans at Oxford, Luton, and Barnet ....they deserve them !.

If Stanley's gates are anything to go by, so do half of the folk in Accington.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
Heard a Cambridge Utd fan on Radio 5 today discussing this topic who said that the best pies he'd ever had at a football ground were at Kidderminster Harriers.
Amazing, but I came away from my one trip to their ground (it was Stanley's very last game in the Conference, so 10.5 years ago) thinking the same thing. I recall all the food on offer was way above anything I'd ever seen at any ground, anywhere.
It wasn't cheap, but then if price is the only test of whether food is good or bad, there is little hope for human health.
Having said that, having fantastic pies doesn't seem to correlate with a successful team. In the Conference at least, that seems to depend on being vegetarian!

Re: Who ate all the pies?
Kiddy's pies are sensational. The expense story on the BBC is misleading. Yes they are 50p to a Ł1 more than most other clubs but instead of hot air and meat scraps you get a meal in a tray!!

Re: Who ate all the pies?

Re: Who ate all the pies?
Whilst channel hopping just stumbled across a feature on BBC Rip Off Britain about Pies at football Matches.
My Missus asked me which club did the best pies and straight away I told her that Morecambe' pies would be right up there!
Sure enough they were featured as highly regarded.
Why can't we have pies as good as Morecambe's?
