Helen, The concoction made in a pan, could this be Stovies? Loads of potatoes and onion's boiled away to a mash in a beef stock, served with either sausages cut up into it, or, my favourite with Stovies is tinned corn beef, either mixed in or served along with the Stovies. Also liberal lashings of Mushroom Ketchup over the top of the Stovies. Yum Yum. Regards, Ian R.
