A variety of Scottish delicacies

[Ratten]

Many of you will, but many won't be familiar with the wonderful item that is a Scotch Pie (or shell pie). Each baker seems to have their own recipe and it's traditionally with mutton, but i was thinking about giving it a go with venison. A good recipe here

Never fixated on the pastry & always thought too much pepper, (Usually trying to hide cheap ingredients)

Tebay Services do good ones. Not the ones in the petrol station (crap), but from the deli bit inside. You'll end up with pastry all down you as you proceed down the M6 munching away!

IIRC tongmaster do pie kits. The gravy wasn't the best, but if you use your own they can be great. I used fallow shoulder, done in the slow cooker, with a jar of cranberry sauce in the gravy.

I used to go pheasant shooting twice a season at a farm near Dudo, just over the border. The highlight was when the owner's friend, Bruce a retired butcher, arrived with the still warm Scotch pies!!!

When I went berry picking as a youngster the highlight of the day was getting chosen to ride in the Landy to pick up the pies and bridies for morning piece.
The smell on the drive back was to die for.

A jock pie roll with " browns sass" is a joy to behold

I've heard there are certain streets in Dundee where the definition is somewhat different

It used to be a regular treat when we were in the Borders, getting real Scotch pies with mutton in rather than insipid lamb.....and plenty of pepper in - lovely.
Then, just to keep the healthy options on the table, is was off to the bakers and a decent Selkirk Bannock!

Spoilt for choice up here, JG Ross do some nice ones, Chicken & Skirlie, Mince & Mealie.
Harry Gow mince n tattie pie, superb.
We've made some with 15 hour slow cooked cubed brisket which were lovely. Will definitely do some with mutton next time we have it.
World of difference between a proper pie and cheap supermarket rubbish.

Me and a mate stopped in Dumfries and decided to have scotch pie, chips and peas, at which point the man serving dipped the whole pie in batter and deep fried it, heart attack material, tasted great after the initial shock had warn off!
