poor poor Walter
my sympathies go out to him
Roll down the windows on the drive back.
I don't know what possessed poor poor Walter.
i love shephards pie (when it's just like a pie, with potato on top, anyhow)
Green beer day is on the way!
who in their right mind would EVER order a shepherd's pie voluntarily? well, if you must, just don't order it at Cornwall's. In fact, if you can help it, don't order ANY food at Cornwall's whatsoever, for it's just plain inedible. A true British pub it is.
Dag, hold still while I beat you with a meaty faggot.
Got this recipe for shepherd's pie from a Dick Francis mystery.
It's edible if your standards aren't terribly high. Mine aren't, if I have to cook it myself. And it's certainly easy.
Crumble a pound or more of hamburger and cook it.
Make four servings or so of instant mashed potato mix.
Put hamburger in a baking dish.
Pour a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup over it (don't uncondense it).
Add some sort of canned vegetable (beans, peas-and-carrots, etc.)
spoon the mashed potatoes over the top.
put pats of butter on top. Bake in oven at 350 or so until potatoes brown on edges and whorls.
Well, it's quick-and-dirty, requires no skill, and the Brits aren't known for their haute cuisine.
Dag - a well-made shepherd's pie is absolutely marvellous (and the one Set made earlier this week was very well-made). Don't be put off by bad pub food - just make sure you're ordering pub grub in a place that is noted for its kitchen.
Oh yeah... shepherds pie is good... Did he put cheese on top ehbeth?
There was no cheese on top, hephzibah - but we mixed some fat free cottage cheese into the mashed potatoes. That worked brilliantly.
Oh my! Are you serious? That sounds... interesting... Huh....
Hephzibah - it's based on the recipe that Lord E posted on the first page of this thread. We didn't have any quark, so subbed in the cottage cheese. It was scrumptious.
Gotcha. Ok. LOL I didn't realize he'd posted a link. I'll have to take a look at that. Hehehe...
