This was originally posted on singletrackworld over a year ago, and got much accolade!! Bunch of fat b.....s!
The text is taken as posted:

I'm not promising this is an analgesic, nor will it give some sleepy people a whole bunch of 'get up and go' (  ), but it is a pie based on a full English breakfast!!!
Following on from an idea sprung from these four walls of the forum, rather than spend the day revising, I have been masterfully creating the most splendid of culinary concoctions....

The (non exhaustive) list of ingredients is as follows....
-between 5 and 7 sausages (6) - butcher's finest
-some streaky bacon
-a few eggs (hard boiled or it will be messy)
-tin 'o' beans
-'shrooms and 'omatoes
-homemade shortcrust pastry

Mmmmm - bacon... Prior to being crispified

250g of plain flour, 110g of cubed butter, and salt. Whizz it up, then add about 60ml of cold water - nice! (wrap in film and chill for about 30min)

Thus far the meat is cooked, and the pastry is chillin'...

Will update once all ingredients are ready to come together!

My long suffering wifey has an inkling we'll be having this for tea tonight - lots of loud sighs seem to be coming from her direction about the whole subject TBH (oi oi, not that kind of sigh...)

I seem to be down a sausage (licks lips shamefully).....

Pastry all rolled and just being pre baked (180deg for about 15 min)...

Right......
First things first - I've convinced the wife that there's no way I could wait until this evening to devour this, so it's pie for lunch - on a wednesday - am I mad.....?!.
Secondly, it's all sorted, in the oven, having the final bake....

Just to get the salivary glands oozing, here's the story thus far....

All ingredients cooked and ready for assembly. I could have done with about twice the amount of pastry, as it shrunk a bit as was stretched thin...Oh well...

A close of of my sausage and ouefs...

Half the 'dry' ingredients

Add some beans and 'shrooms to the equation

And the final dish...

Note the homage to a certain Desperate Dan, and also the 'warning' bacon (alerts inquisitive vegetarians to the impending meatyness...).
I once saw someone paint milk onto the lid, so that's what I've done, and popped it into the oven for about a Simpsons episode and a half....

Will keep a close eye to ensure my creation doesn't burn!

Here...

Bon apetit!
