Do you mean Tourtiere?

The English version of it from my sister-in-law who uses beef not pork. Mashed potatoes, cooked ground beef, onion, bay leaf, diced carrots (discard bay leaf before mixing) mixed together and shoved between two pie crusts.

That's what was called a mince (ground beef) and onion pie in my day - without the mash (that was served on the side) :D
There's many recipes for it online.. :D

Sort it out a bit and one might well be able to effect a good cornish pasty.

I can't eat those! It's really weird.. I can eat everything that goes INTO one - stewed beef, carrots, peas, potato, gravy as long as they are separate.. but put them all together in a pasty and I am violently ill. It first happened when we were on holiday in Beesands, Devon, my first Cornish Pasty - violently ill... I didn't have another one until I was an adult in my 20's - and the exact same thing happened.
Strange! :confused:
OH flashback to then.. walking along the beach at Hallsands collecting pieces of sandblasted/tumbled glass, which my Dad told me had come from a church's stained glass windows after the village was 'swallowed' by the sea or that had fallen from the clifftop above.. walking among the buried houses.. :D (In reality they were probably broken bottles etc.) - blue glass, green glass, white glass, brown glass - we kept them in a jar with water so they would go translucent. Happy times :)

;)Therein lies the problem. You were eating a Cornish pasty in Devon.;)

Cornish pasties or a variant on them are popular in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan which can throw you the first time you go there.

Scouse ate a dodgy sausage roll a couple of days after he migrated to Australia, nearly 30 years ago. Sick as a dog and hasn't eaten one since - not even my mum's home made ones, much to her disappointment.

Gasp, have fun at work, what kind of employer do you have that will tolerate such things....:)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Don't let them know. ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It's a secret. ;)

My last job let people have fun, just as long as the work got done and planes left on time.

I have since retired, so I can have fun everyday lol (joking about the fun part)
