To be honest, To me, Its all meat, Cook it up and its edible.

Granted I would have to be starving, But I could live off dog food no worries if I had to.

Or dog for that matter.

Yes, and I don't eat pies either (not unless they have been lovingly created by Mrs T of course). Unfortunately I get into all sorts of food preparation areas, including those servicing the golden arches.

It's enough to put you off eating altogether.

Cheers

Good, wholesome pies were made in the 18th century:

I feel sorry for you northerners that can't get Jimmy's pies - they actually use good quality mince.

425592 2006-02-02 01:43:00 Mince? Mince? Mince? Bloody Mince?

I used to get pies from Lincoln. (Which, like Christchurch, is in the South Island). Real pies contain steak. And kidney. And other nice things.


Bloody Mince?

Oh. well, Invercargill is Invercargill. Mince would make a change from haggis.

SWIFT: His Modest Proposal
I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection .
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout .
I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved to breed, whereof only one-fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black-cattle or swine; and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore one male will be sufficient to serve four females . That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; always advis¬ing the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table . A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter .
I have reckoned upon a medium that a child just born will weigh twelve pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, will increase to twenty-eight pounds .
I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords; who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children .
Infants' flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentifully in March, and a little before and after: for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolific diet, there are more children born in Roman Catholic countries about nine months after Lent, than at any other season; therefore, reckoning a year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of popish in¬fants is at least three to one in this kingdom: and there¬fore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessen¬ing the number of papists among us .
I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, lab¬ourers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the car¬ case of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he has only some particular friend or his own family to dine with him . Thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants; the mother will have eight shillings net profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child .
Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may Hay the carcase; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer-boots for fine gentlemen .
As to our city of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, than dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs . . . .
I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work; having no other motive than the public good of my country, by advancing our trade, pro¬viding for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich . I have no children by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-rearing .

425595 2006-02-02 02:35:00 Real pies contain steak
Problem is, most pies that say they contain steak, actually only contain a lump of fat that used to be attached to a steak. The pies that contain real steak are great, but I don't know why anyone would want to eat kidney.
Greven (91)
425596 2006-02-02 03:44:00 No, they usually contain unidentifable lumps of something which was once in the same building as a piece of fat which was once attached to a piece of steak.

Mince is the same unidentifiable stuff minced. The main flavour is from the sulphur dioxide,

But real steak and kidney pies. MMMMM.
