Pie And Mash

Re: Pie And Mash

That's the thing about going home for lunch - independence. No having to go with what the school wanted you to have.

Re: Pie And Mash

I used to take a packed lunch to school, i did have a school pudding though sometimes when there was some left over, the dinner ladies would give out bowls of banana custard to the kids who had packed lunches, to this day i still love banana custard.

Re: Pie And Mash

That was probably one of the reason why I went home for lunch while I was at school.

Hollands Pies - it gives "going Dutch" a double meaning!

By the way, Danniella, I like your new name!

Yeah using my real name is much better! ☺

I had a Hollands Pie for my dinner, much prefer to bring my own food into work rather than eat canteen food.

Re: Pie And Mash

We've got all kinds of meat pies in Canada, commercial frozen varieties and fresh made. The quality might not always be much for the frozen though, they used to be good once. There are some frozen that are more locally made at one chain, the crust is still raw and they take awhile while the others are sort of pre-cooked and quick. There must be some delicatessens in the U.S. that make something decent, and I have had Bird's Eye pies frozen in the U.S. (but I just don't think they're much good, though again, they used to be) but I've mostly been in Alaska/Washington/Oregon/Idaho/Nevada/California, might be less likely to find such the further south you go, but who cares as the Mexican food gets better and better!

Hollands pies are my favorite, especially the meat and potato, i cover it with gravy and it's delicious!
I used to like pork pies until i found myself chewing on a piece of gristle, totally put me off them for life. I don't like steak and kidney either, working in a hospital kinda puts me off eating kidney! :-0

My Dad loves his Pie,Mash and Liquor. We'll be visiting his favourite one on our next trip home.

Here in Australia Meat Pies are also very popular, but on their own, covered in tommy sauce. They have to be eaten by hand, no cutlery, just hold the pie and tuck in!

I've recently come back from a trip to Australia, it was fantastic! I didn't try one of your pies though, but i did try the seafood, and i actually went to a barby. ☺

Re: Pie And Mash

the liquoir is a green parsley sauce which many people turn there nose up

you can buy pie mash and liquior in farmfood stores if you don't live in London

As for whelks I love them soaked in vinagar

Are whelks a seafood?
I've had cockles soaked in vinegar which were lovely, shrimps are lovely too.

Re: Pie And Mash

Pie and mash is a southern thing isn’t it ?!?

I tried some mince meat pie with mash a short while ago and it was strangely delish - it was a juicy pie though- I’m not sure dry meat pie would work as well with JUST mash

Up north we tend to go meat pies , chips , peas and gravy ..

Yeah it's popular down south. Our local dish is scouse, it's very nice to have this time of year as it warms you up.
Our local chippy does a Pie Dinner, or a Sausage Dinner, same as you described, absolutely delicious!

Re: Pie And Mash

I love pie with home made mash ☺ green parsley sauce doesn't sound very nice though, it's either ketchup or gravy for me.
