Pie 'n' Mash: Should the cockney delicacy be protected?
An MP will lead a parliamentary debate calling for traditional pie 'n' mash with liquor to get protected status, along with champagne and Cornish Pasties.
Richard Holden, the Conservative MP for Basildon and Billericay, said the dish was "part of that Cockney diaspora", describing it as "the original fast food".
Almost 30 years ago there were 60 pie 'n' mash shops across London.
In 2020, there was barely a third of that total.
成人快手 Radio London's Barry Caffrey has been to a pie 'n' mash shop in the cockney heartland, east London.
