3 unusual facts about Butter pie


Butter pie

This dish is also mentioned in the Paul McCartney song "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" where Sir Paul sings (rather garbledly), "I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie. (Butter pie?) The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie ..."

From 2006, the butter pie was included in the annual World Pie Eating Championship in Wigan, in the vegetarian category.

The butter pie can be found in most areas of the historic boundaries of Lancashire, including Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton, Burnley, Bury, Chorley, Lancaster, Preston and Wigan (whose residents are some times known by the nickname, pie-eaters).
