There used to be hundreds of pie and mash shops in London. Now there are barely more than 30. Can social media attention and a push for protected status ensure their survival?

Use them or lose them I guess
EastEnders in East India dock / Chrisp st market is my favourite at the moment and has even surpassed Kellys and Maureen's
I also support one near my neck of the woods Hughes in Ruislip gardens which is pretty good too.

Yeah, I'd question it being that severe but it's certainly been on the rise and seems to be pushed when many indigenous folk don't care for it. Next they'll try to make the Countryside less white..

Being replaced by halal shops in their hundreds.
I was once told nearly all the meat slaughtered in this country is halal but onlty a small percentage is actually sold as halal.
No idea if it's correct.

Being replaced by halal shops in their hundreds. Sad to see their decline.
