What’s the Best Condiment for Pie?
Let the Saucy Debate Begin! 🥧✨
If you somehow haven't heard, our Smokin’ Brisket Pie is back, baby! 🙌
It's packed with beef brisket rubbed in chocolate and coffee (yep, you read that right) ☕ slow-cooked to perfection, and mingling with tasty pit beans and hickory-smoked BBQ sauce!
It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it’s pure pie magic 😎🔥
So we know what condiment works well INSIDE a pie... but here’s the big question:
What do you dip it in? 🧐
Every pie deserves a saucy sidekick, but opinions on the best condiment can divide families quicker than Monopoly at Christmas!! So, let’s dive into the great pie-condiment debate and see which one deserves to be your trusty sidekick for this smoky stunner 😉
Mustard: The Bold Buddy 🌭
Time to start off with a classic. From classic yellow to a fiery Dijon, mustard adds a sharp kick that can cut through rich, smoky pies like the Smokin’ Brisket.
It’s the condiment equivalent of saying, “I’m here to party!🎉" But... it's definitely not a pairing for the faint of heart, so maybe only go for this one if your palate is ready!!
Best for: Adventurous eaters who like a little zing in their lives.
Ketchup: The Classic Crowd-Pleaser 🍅
Now let's go to the OG. Ketchup is dependable, sweet, tangy, and pairs with just about everything. We recommend it with our Pork & Scrumpy Pasties, for instance!
But is it too basic for the complex, smoky flavours of a brisket pie? Maybe... or maybe not. Sometimes, keeping it classic is the best move!
Best for: Those who live for simplicity and sweet nostalgia.
Hot Sauce: The Spicy Sidekick 🌶️
Feeling brave? A dash of hot sauce can elevate your pie game with just the right amount of heat. It’s a bold choice, but if you’re into fiery flavours, this is your condiment soulmate. Just don’t go overboard - Smokin’ Brisket deserves to shine.
Best for: Heat seekers who like a little drama with their dinner.
BBQ Sauce: The Match Made in Heaven 🔥
BBQ sauce is practically built into the Smokin’ Brisket Pie's DNA!! It’s smoky, sweet, tangy, and perfectly complements the BBQ sauce already dancing inside this pie. So, it kind of seems like a no-brainer right? Well, only if you can handle a bit of BBQ overload!!
So, will you double down for a BBQ-on-BBQ extravaganza? If so, just make sure you’ve got extra napkins 😉
Best for: BBQ lovers who believe more is more.
Brown Sauce: The Underrated Underdog 🍂
Ah, brown sauce - the tangy, fruity underdog of condiments (and for some, the sauce always in BBQ's shadow!)
It’s got just enough kick to hold its own but doesn’t overpower the smoky richness of a brisket pie. Some call it posh ketchup, but we just call it delicious 😋 and perhaps worth a go on your next lunch break...
Best for: The secretly sophisticated sauce connoisseur.
Chutneys and Relishes: The Fancy Friends 🥭
For the foodies among us, a spoonful of chutney or relish can add depth, sweetness, and sophistication to your pie-eating experience. Mango chutney? Red onion marmalade? Why not both? Fancy pie pairings are so 2025 🥂
While we have recommended a good chutney with our Ruby Murray Pasty before, which would YOU pair with a smoky Brisket Pie? Definitely one to think about before your next shopping trip!! 🍴
Best for: When your pie deserves a touch of bougie brilliance!
Mayonnaise: The Wild Card 🎲
Now, hear us out. Mayo might not be the obvious choice for a brisket pie, but its creamy, slightly tangy vibe can cool things down if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all that smoky intensity.
We all know that sometimes the weirder food combos can actually come out the tastiest... Plus, it’s mayo - when has it ever let you down?!
Best for: Those who believe every meal deserves a dollop of creamy goodness.
What’s Your Verdict? 🏆
Here’s the thing: there’s no one answer. The best condiment for your Smokin’ Brisket Pie depends on your vibe, your taste buds, and how saucy you’re feeling that day!!
Whether you’re a ketchup loyalist or a BBQ die-hard, there’s room for every dipper, dolloper, and drizzle in the world of our pies!
