I've been holding a November meat and potato pie, mushy pea party for as many years as i can count!
Whats the dish you cook for your home sick compatriots?
Share if you dare.

Now that's what I call real food! You've just taken me back to my childhood in Yorkshire. Thank you! You've made my day.

Shepherds Pie (well cottage pie really I have just always called it Shepherds Pie) its probably my favourite comforting food, oh and it has to be served with pickled beetroot yum

Tripe and onions!

Full roast with all the trimmings

Nev, I cant quite conjure up any enthusiasm for that dish! my Mother and Grandmother were sticklers for nutrition. We grew up on stew's and pulses and to this day whenever I need to relax, only the chopping of vegetables and the magic of making a stew or soup can help me unwind. If you ever shopped on the market with my bartering Gran, you would walk a million miles to avoid the tripe stall!

So you could say you never developed the stomach for it?

So how about nettle broth

Thanks foe the chuckles Nev. Kuedoes for that one.

Only the top four leaves, leave the rest for the creatures.

Cow pie. I thought it was my mum's invention (corned beef, mashed potatoes and onions in pastry) until someone unkindly, I think, pointed out that it was corned beef hash. I love it and make several to freeze.
Other than that, roast pots and beef stew with the red cabbage that comes in packets here. Much more convenient than slicing cabbage and apples and cooking for hours and hours.

This woman is a national treasure! She knows how to cook! Do you do Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy? I don't mean them weedy round jobs. Proper Yorkshire pudding.... in a big square tin.

...with a few sausages chucked in for good measure - toad in the hole. Mmmm!

Fish (in batter) and chips, potatoe cakes, cottage pie, roast chicken, roast beef, and cornbeef ash. God now i have made myself hungry

Now your talking ZB shin beef and cowheel, and may the spoon stand in the jelly. Ehh, we dint have much but we bloody ate well!

I used to enjoy eating an indian meat dish called keema (it has been known as keema naans or meat samosas at times) this is typically made from minced lamb and peas or potatoes:

Yorkshire puddings. I am dribbling; even better as someone said with sausages in and onion gravy. As I grew up, my sainted mother used to make chop in the hole. Essentially a chop (lamb I think) surrounded by yorkshires, loved the pud but hated the meat. I can't bear lamb or liver, both were favourites in our house with everyone except me.

Zugbound, I hear you about the meat, smell this.......................
ox hearts boiled, then seasoned and roasted served up in disguise as roast beef!

More food for thought....what my Gran called Fat n' Bread.
Cold pork dripping spread on a slice of bread and sprinkled with salt. That really takes me back. Especially all the brown jelly-like bits in the fat.

You've got me on a roll here Nev what about brawn, melted over chips?
Me Mum yoused to shout into the street "come in kids your steak is ready" when I said "but mum this is brawn she'd say
" If I say it's steak it is steak. Even if it's not steak, it's steak if I say it is"
Mum logic or what?
