Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
Linda, if I'm making a steak lie I always have marrowfat peas with it. I love them. My partner makes great yorkies - his toad in the hole is lovely. So quick and easy to make.Talking about tea and scones. We have online discount companies who email you half price deals and afternoon tea deals and they are exceptionally popular. Usually in a nice restaurant, sometimes hotel. I've had a few and they've been delicious. Very dainty and look great.

Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
Never had Pie and Mash, tend to think thats a delicacy of the Cockanee tribe.
Sunday roast not for quite a while, as im single its more a family food.
Fish and chips, once popular and cheap now expensive, and every town and city in the UK claims theirs is the best.
Yorkshire pudding has evolved, these days you get large ones filled with all sorts of foods, but for me best with a traditional roast.
I will leave the tea n scones and cucumber sarnies to the posh lot on here, give me a ham and pease pudding stottie and im a happy bunny.

Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
Pie and mash - definitely with a big yes! My town still has a Manzes, who were supposedly the best. However, if I go to Romford I will go into a big pie and mash shop there, which is always popular.Always cooking myself a roast dinner, but not with a joint of meat. Not cost effective living alone so I'll get varied sliced meats from the supermarket deli.
Fish and chips...not in a restaurant or seaside place as too expensive, but our Morrisons cafe do a mini meal, and is just as nice.
Yorkshire puds...always with a roast. I usually get a pack of frozen but have to buy in chilled sections ATM as absolutely no room in the freezer.
Oh, and always buying crumpets.

Re: Pie & mash, Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and Yorkshire pudding
I've enjoyed reading each and every reply, thank you so much. I love learning and reading about these things. Oh and BowieEyes, great poem!The eel pie I've heard of, but I was talking about typical meat pies using beef or whatever meat of choice.
Oh and I have a question.... over here we have recipes for things like Shepherd's Pie, but with different meats, even one that calls for chicken. Which, if I remember correctly, a pie made with any meat other than lamb or mutton makes it a Cottage Pie, but I could be wrong there.
Anyway, my question is, when making Shepherd's Pie there, is it really considered sacrilege to use anything other than lamb or mutton? That's what someone told me once, so figured I'd try and find out. I know the Irish sometimes use beef, but I think the Scots stick with lamb?
And pasties! I love those things. When I learned about them a few years ago (believe it or not from watching Supersize vs Superskinny) I started making them myself.

Never have I seen frozen Yorkshire puds, but I have a recipe for them. However, I've just never taken the time to make them because it looks pretty involved.

So, I'm cooking Haddock & chips tonight (with my special beer batter) - don't do mushy peas here. For tomorrows dinner, it's venison (roe ) bourguignon with potatoes & veges from our garden.
