Can someone please pay my mum a visit, kick her up the arse, and tell her that a portion of stew with a square of puff pastry does NOT qualify as a steak pie!

Steak pie is only a steak pie when the stew and pastry are cooked together!

Make one yourself then show her how it's done.

I agree strongly with that, separate pastry is an abomination.

I won't kick your poor Mum though.

Ahh that made me laugh Scottish Woody.

It's called a top crust pie I think.

and some nice link sausages in there too

Mmmmmm yummy.........with a nice thick gravy.

Oh my, something you actually like
