"apart" meaning "in separate pieces"
a pie left as separate parts wouldn't really be a very good pie.

Pies are dead easy to make. Try it. Just get a recipe from BBC good food.

don't.
buy it. Even I can rarely be arsed to make pastry and I make pretty much everything else from scratch. But I like puff pastry for pies and it's a monumental fanny to make.

Oh, ok
like that is easy. What I meant is cooking traditional English food is quite complicated and needs a lot of work and time. If we're going to start cheating with the dought we can just buy ready meals.

It's not the same. Pastry=cheat but if the rest is homemade=nom.
Your cooking is fucking ace anyway.

Spanish cooking
in general, for every day, is much easier than British. We can cook a very nice meal in a few minutes. I think that's what the British are missing. You went for full roasts that took a day to cook to just a sandwich. There's not much in the middle.

It would be a terrrible sandwich with nothing in the middle.
Hahahahahahaha!

That's not cheating
If you follow that argument, not butchering your own meat is cheating. Or not brewing your own wine.

Pastry isn't difficult to make, it's just tedious and home-made (unless you are making sweet pastry) is rarely much better. So, I make my own dough for bread and for pizza, for example, but I'd almost never make my own pie pastry.

leave apart should be "never mind"
To leave apart is to disassemble.

DISASSEMBLE?

I'd suggest "let alone"

I would reject your suggestion out of hand.
Despite it being perfectly correct.

Let alone
I think that's the one I was thinking of, but couldn't remember.

I wouldn't worry.
Your English better than our Spanish and all that.

Thank you
I'll try to remember.
