Hi Ian and Everyone else I still make Tater pie we had it yesterday with fresh cooked beetroot I use minced skirt and cook it with onions first then I add the diced potatoes and cook it very slowly the potatoes soften.About 30 mins before it's cooked properly I add the crust My brown dish isn't big enough for when the family come so make it in big mixing bowl I don't make hotpot very often because some of the family don't like lamb Here in Oldham Potato Pie is often served at Do's I saw an advert this week for a Do on Xmas Eve and it included a Potato Pie supper Bren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Winterbottom" <i.winterbottom@ntlworld.com> To: <LANCSLIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 11:09 AM Subject: Re: [LANCSLIFE] re meat and potato pie > This discussion is making me hungry!

Yeah Bren, it's Party food nowadays! Clubs and pubs often do Tater Pie suppers, especially round Owdam. I come from Shaw myself, now in Bolton for my sins but still feels like I am coming home when I get to Shaw, even though I haven't lived there since the 70s. Went to Shaw for my Mum's 70th Birthday a few months back, and the Catering people put on a Tater Pie and Red Cabbage - superbe, mon ami! I even used to have one of those big brown dishes, but it got bust during a move in the Army - the MFO people are a bit cack-handed! Anyone remember those big earthenware bottles the "Pop" man used to do, made in the same material, ie Earthenware? We used to use them as hot water bottles when I was little, pre-Central Heating! My wife likes her beetroot; me, I'll stick to my red cabbage! And I am getting hungry again - this is going to do wonders for my waistline! Ian
