Chip shop boss John Clarkson has created a new answer to the Creme Egg question of 'how do you eat yours?' - by turning the chocolate into a pie to serve with chips. Eschewing the savoury favourites of sausage and egg or mince pies, Mr Clarkson decided to wrap the Easter delicacies in pastry before they were battered and deep-fried. The result is his very own 'Pie-egg-ra' dish - Creme Egg oozing from the traditional pie casing which is then served with chips to more adventurous customers at a price of £2.75.
