Oh puh-leeze . . . where's the crust? Huh, huh? Where's the pastry? How the hell is this supposed to be pie? How can it be pie if i'm putting mashed potatoes in it? This is just goofy . . .
It still ain't got no pastry, so it still ain't no pie . . . Lordoftheinediblecuisine, what the hell is this "swede" she's a talkin' about?
I haven't eaten shepard's pie since I moved out of my mother's house 32 years ago. That's how much I like shepard's pie.
Definition of "Pie":- a dish baked in pastry-lined pan OFTEN with a pastry top.
Not always, Set.
Delia is the queen of cooking over here, and I have tried this recipe.....bloody marvellous, but makes one fart somewhat.
Enjoy your PIE, Set. I always cover mine with HP (brown) sauce. My wife calls me a heathen.
That's great E, but what the hell is that "swede" she calls for in her recipe? I assume it is some sort of vegetable?
Of course, I could be wrong. I thought that Shepherd's pie was originally made from lamb. Therefore, the name. I thought that potatoes were a substitue for pastry, thus the name pie.
As I said, I could be wrong.
BTW....where is the pastry in Humble Pie?

I believe they may be called turnips in the colonies, Set.
I love shepherds pie....the 'swede' is a swedish turnip it take twice as long to cook than a normal turnip, not a preffered taste for me.
Well, i'm a fixin' to grill up that lamb right about now, which is runnin' rather late, as the better half just walked in the door . . .
Don't forget to smother it in brown sauce.
I'm salivating at bedtime again......thanks, Set. I think you do this on purpose.
Cheese and crackers, methinks.
Well, it weren't no purposeful thing, but now that you mention it, i'll keep that in mind . . .
Just waiting for Dys to show up with a Frito Pie...
The Shepherd's Pie is scrumptious.
Now if we'd just had some leeks - and seen Delia's recipe earlier ... it would have been divine.
Next time!
some recipes for the fella to look at for tonight
Ossi Bucchi perhaps? ...
<has he picked a recipe yet?>
the day Walter arrives here we are going to the Route 66 diner for Frito Pie;
