Fleur de Lys pies (1 Viewer)

[SkyBlueSwiss]

One of the things I remember most fondly of my childhood in Coventry was Fleur de Lys pies. We couldn't afford them very often, but I absolutely loved those pies.
Do they still make them, and if they do, do the other old guys on here think they are still as good as they were in the 1950's and 1960's?

And how can I get one over here in Switzerland???

I like how they have made them bigger over the years, clues in the name "Pukka"

On another note, why is this not an off topic?

Also the name of a great British 60s Garage band, without the word "pies", of course.

YEs, that's right. The factory was by the bridge. That little bridge used to terrify me when I was learning to drive as I was rubbish at hill starts. Flats on it now.

You can't get them anymore because of Brexit.
