Nooooo, stovies is traditionally just whatever meat you've got leftover from the day before all mixed up with some mashed tatties

...although my mam never bothered with leftovers and used to just make it with corned beef instead

So what do you call mashed pototoes with sping onions mixed in then? It used to be a favourite of mine as a child.

I've not had a jam piece for year, I have to agree with the poster who said NO butter or marge on a jam piece that's just horrible.

we make stovies with potatoes, corned beef, onions and gravy. I love square sausage but only eat it from one butcher in Glasgow , so i have to stock up when i visit my gran.

Woo-hoo! I was trying to remember that song the other day, I used to sing it when I was wee!

I can still remember my Mum throwing a piece out the kitchen window for my lunch when I was playing down in the back green of the tenement I was brought up in.

Oh the deprivation!

It was a back green! Next tenement along was really posh, their 8foot wall was intact and they had plants, flowers and proper grass! We weren't allowed in there! But ours was better then that lot from down the bottom end of the square, who were no better than they should be! Ah the running battles fought of a summer.

Many a summer spent in my aunties Airdrie tenament. Top to toe in the beds, the outside toilet, shared by a few families with newspaper for toilet roll, playing in the stairwells.........

Sorry, but no. Stovies are best made with link sausages, sliced tatties and loads of ingins (onions), left to cook in their own steam, with the ocasional stir with a muckle big spoon. The smell .... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not mashed tatties, but sliced or chopped potatoes that are soft enough to be almost disintegrating at the edges.

Ah tis a fiercely debated subject, the correct ingredients of stovies!

My mum made it kind of like soup, quite watery, usually with browned mince, but sometimes with links & sometimes both!

no carrot or turnip.

Next subject: tattie scones. Eaten raw, toasted or fried in lard? Served sweet (jam) or savoury (fry-up)?
