It seems like the kind of people who enjoy higgidy are pretty creative because we keep getting sent poems. Wordsworth would have been proud. Here are some odes from higgidy inspired poets…

Vital ingredients (Ode to a little spinach and roasted pepper quiche)

by David D. on the 13th of May 2012

Egg and pastry, oh so tasty,
Pepper and and feta, it just gets better,
Cheddar cheese, oh yes please,
Onion and spinach, it’s all finished.

Higgidy quiche

by Alan A. on the 8th of May 2012

You can’t pass by a Higgidy Quiche
Each one is a serious treat
For tums that are never quite replete
Its a Higgidy quiche that fills the niche

Learning to Cook

by John Arthur B. on the 3rd of May 2012

My wife has died, and at eighty-five
I’ve learned to cook to keep alive.
Novice at cooking I might have been,
At supermartket shopping I am quite keen.
Discovering quiches with the higgidy label
They quickly appeared upon my table.
There’s a moral in this tale, sans doubt:
For culinary bliss, higgidy carries some clout.
For family and friends they bring delight.
Higgidy – keep cooking with all your might!

QUICHE!

by Sadie G. on the 27th of April 2012

I would do anything for my quiche,
even hide it from the police,
if it would keep my quiche at peace,
I would gift it twenty geese!

Roses are pie

by Clare A. on the 27th of April 2012

Roses are pie,
Violets are higgidy,
Most pies rhyme,
But this one is mine.

Oh, yes please

by Sarah T. on the 26th of April 2012

Higgidy piddigy Pie,

My Mum says my oh my,

But it’s a veggie pie!

So no, not for I!

But just once I suppose I can try.


So mushroom, feta, spinach and cheese

Oh she proclaims in that case yes please

So do these pie freeze?

Yes in with the peas

In that case you better buy three!

Ode to Higgidy

by Coral W. on the 21st of April 2012

I bought this Higgidy quiche

I thought I’d just try a piece

It didn’t go far

Just back to the car

That scrumptious Higgidy feast!

Weightwatchers!!!

by Coral Whyman on the 21st of April 2012

When I first bought a Higgidy pie

I was tempted I cannot deny

Goodbye to the diet

I just had to try it

That hussy Higgidy pie

Pie-Ku

by Helena on the 19th of April 2012

I call this Pie-Ku
For it follows convention
But is about pies

Only a pie will do

by Josh. N on the 13th of April 2012

What is that feeling to which I must succumb?
A terrible aching that rests in my tum,
A feeling that wrestles and tussles and hides,
And one that won’t simper, give in or subside.

The wanting often comes in waves,
but this time my hunger just will not be staved.

I need something hot that will quieten the rumble,
Something with pastry to flake and to crumble,
Something meaty to strengthen my soul,
Something substantial to fill up this hole.

Aha! I see something down the savoury isle,
An obvious option! It stands out a mile!
My heart skips a beat as it catches my eye,
Ah yes my favourite, a Higgidy Pie.

I could smell in the oven

by Mrs Kate P. on the 11th of April 2012

I could smell in the oven
a higgidy pie.
It smelt so good that I
thought I should try.
So mushroom and beef was
my choice today.
A good combination and
British, Hooray!
It’s just the right size
as I dont eat a lot.
So I will let you know
whether it’s good or not.

Easter came and Easter went

by jacquie R. on the 11th of April 2012

Selsey fields were stretching out afore our very eyes
We gazed upon the gliders and the balsa wooded plane
But despite our best intention we focussed on our pies
This Easter came and Easter went – we ate a lot of fare
But the higgidy moment on the ’wolds
Will never come again!

Lunchtime Grace

by Kristian F. on the 7th of April 2012

My Higgidy Pie
Is a delicious little guy,
With spinach and feta and pepper inside,
A poopy seed crust,
Another bite is a must,
I know it’s made with love
But I devour it with lust. x

Once Smitten

by Beryl A. on the 6th of April 2012

I found the pie all sad and lonely,
And bought it for my one and only,
I took a bite – he had the rest,
Oh boy the taste was just the best,
More pies are on the shopping list,
Higgidy flavours must not be missed.

Too Good for Sharing

by Matt R. on the 6th of April 2012

On the side of a hill, with larks singing in the sky
Sat me dad, me mam, 4 higgidy pies and I.
“We have spinach, pepper, bacon or cheese.
Which one would you like?” dad asked. I said, “all 4 please”
“You shan’t have all 4, but you may still choose one”
“That’s fine”, I replied “I’ll have the fourth when you’ve gone
Back to work tomorrow and I can enjoy it in peace
Without this delicious pastry crumbling past my knees”
Said my mam; “but son, don’t you see the larks must dine too”
“Sod the birds, this is my higgidy. Give them yours if you want to!”

Savoury Perfection

by Vince W. on the 23rd of March 2012

I was feeling fly
So I had to buy a Higeldy Pigeldy Pie
My friends said what?
‘Said that’s what I’ve got.
A Higeldy Pigeldy Pie
I ran to the kitchen
To scratch my itchin
For savoury perfection
Comin’ my direction
Set the table
While I was able
The oven went ping
I started to sing
Put on your black tie
For my Higeldy Pigeldy Pie

Thriller in the Chiller!

by Janorama on the 20th of March 2012

When James clapped his eyes on Camilla
‘Twas love at first sight what a killer
Now with two kids in tow
And in case you don’t know
Higgidy is thrilling the chiller!

Love Grows..

by janorama on the 19th of March 2012

When James met Camilla he just knew
She fell equally deeply ’tis true
Out of love in their eyes
A shared passion for pies
The kitchens of higgidy soon grew!

Happy with a Higgidy!

by janorama on the 18th of March 2012

My tummy is complaining
It’s pleading please feed me
I stop beside the chiller
To see what I can see
Therin I spot a brown box
A cur-ios-ity
Little spinach feta quiche
Branded a Higgidy
Just the ticket for my lunch
I eat it eagerly
I’d love to have another
But that would be greedy
My tummy’s more than happy
It’s full as full can be!

Pie week!!

by V. Andrews on the 16th of March 2012

A Mouthwatering Delight
It would seem,
Will be a HIGGIDY PIE
I read on the box, with a sigh,
About well sourced ingredients
I love how it draws you in,
Delicious pie or tart,
Both them and box
Are a work of art.
I love it all.

Quiche for tea.

by Bethany L. on the 16th of March 2012

Yesterday evening we had Quiche for tea,
A higgidy one was all for me,
It was smooth and creamy,
and really quite dreamy,
it was small and round,
and only cost just over a pound!
Inside it was spinach, tomato and feta,
I have to say it could not have been better,
I love the fact that the eggs are free range,
And from now, I will never change!

Red and Green

by Simon H. on the 15th of March 2012

Roasted red peppers so vibrant and sweet, an infusion of flavours,an exotic quiche treat.

Tangy mature Fetta, as taste buds explode ,a spinich delight one more treat to behold .

Made with care and pride ,that is for sure ,always leaving you wanting just one more

Spinach Finish!

by Beth N. on the 5th of March 2012

For lunch one day I fancied a pie,
Some cheese and veg should do the trick,
But what did I spy?
A neat wee quiche, that was nice and thick!
I gave it a try…
Before I could utter “my goodness yummy spinach”
The whole thing was finished! :)

This ones for you!

by Ruth C. on the 4th of March 2012

Higgidy piggidy boo this little pie was made for you,

Higgidy piggidy bong, enjoy one and sing along,
Higgidy piggidy ping they really are the best thing!

Higgidy Star

by Amanda on the 29th of February 2012

Fresh Ingredients prepared with care
Supreme taste no compare

Various sizes big and small
Not one size made for all

Veggie and Meat Eaters catered for
Gourmet Pies without a chore

My current Star – Moroccan Pie
Delicious. Go on – Give it a try

fly that pie

by Ev on the 28th of February 2012

not a day goes by
when i don’t think about you pie

tomatoes in the air
people stop and stare

but we really don’t care

they don’t know pie like i do
chilli with feta cheese too

when i need some inspiration
a higgidy pie is the right sensation

feeding the nation
in anticipation

crusts and all
eating it all.

home alone

by Suzanne B. on the 23rd of February 2012

I love this small and savoury quiche
The design on the pack is fun
Coming home at the end of the day
It’s the perfect supper for one!

My first time - Spinach,Feta cheese and Tomato

by Julie P. on the 23rd of February 2012

I walked right past, then doubled back
to see what caught my eye.
Nicely packaged in green and brown,
a tiny Higgidy pie.

It’s not a name I knew before
but thought I’d try a treat
It put it in my trolley
then took it home to eat.

I warmed it up, a bit too much
The pastry was quite crisp
But I have to say it was so scrum
It was really worth the risk.

Next time I’ll get a larger size,
Big enough to share
To show my lovely boys
Just how much I care

A problem I see, which to choose?
They all look so lovely and tasty.
I’ll be stood a while in the chiller aisle,
No need to be too hasty.

higgidy ditty

by Sarah C. on the 18th of February 2012

the time it takes to bake a cake is about the same for a pie to bake
higgidy pies are made with love and pride
full of goodness and proper stuff tucked inside
only the best forget the rest
nothing beats a higgidy pie
their so yummy but even better in my tummy

spinach and feta couldnt be better

by Susan S. on the 16th of February 2012

Love at first sight
And not containing meat
I saw the spinach feta and tomato quiche
It looked so scrummy healthy and fresh
I took it home for my tastebuds to test
On the plate it lay with potatoes and peas
An aroma saw tempting
Made me weak at the knees
If I knew Camilla
I would certainly say
Your higgidy pie
Just made my day.
