jdgm Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Shepherds Pie - I wouldn't put much carrot in it. And no cheese or tomato on top for me... too like moussaka! The worst pizza topping I ever had was goats cheese, pesto, horseradish and artichoke. Ugh. But I am in UK and like ham cheese and pineapple. So dere. Fun fact - Pizza Hut introduced stuffed crust pizza in the mid 90s...and guess who did the commercial?

If you don't already, put egg yokes (1 per serving, +1) in the mash. That's the bit everyone misses. Start with onions celery and carrots in a pan with oil. Once soft, add lamb (not lean) to brown. Once the lamb is browned add stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree (optionally some crushed garlic or paste) and garden peas, bring back to boil and simmer for 10 5-10 minutes. Use plain flour to thicken if necessary. Top with mash made with egg yolks, and optionally add some grated mature cheddar and large slices of beef tomato to the top and bake at 180°c for 20 mins or so. Not sure how many of those f's that is. You just want a strong crust. The tomato on top will be hotter than the sun's core from the oven. Approach with caution. I want to put tomatoes on top, but wont that block the mashed potatoes from getting a crispy on top? I also need to see if I can find ground lamb around this place that is devoid of culture and nothing but old professional drunks with golf carts. Other than Worcestershire Sauce and the garlic, are there any herbs you put in while sautéing the meat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there will be patches that aren't crisp under the tomatoes. Add sparingly well spaced out. I go for one slice on each serving. Edit, if you're having large servings with no sides (traditional, I suppose) then maybe 2 slices preserving. I think I'm gonna make it on Tuesday or Wednesday. I need to hit the stores to see if they have lamb, but I think I'm gonna be out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 In the Epiphone lounge we're discussing Mexican cuisine and I made a comment about asking my wife how many Mexicans went into that Mexican sandwich she once ordered. So I have to be fair and ask.... How many shepherds are used to make a shepherd's pie? And speaking of such.... Why isn't there any POT in a POT PIE? 🤪 But think about it. There's pumpkin in a pumpkin pie, sweet potato in a sweet potato pie, apple in apple pie, cherries in cherry pie, etc.--- but NO POT in a pot pie? What gives?

Whitefang There could be but don't forget to decarb it first. I tried one of those tortas sandwiches, and did not dig it. I got it at a hole in the wall place that everything else was good. I would say at least 2 Mexican's. Did I win? Edited January 30, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I shall not allow the good name of the torta to be besmirched. They can be amazing, you just didn’t get a good one I think. A lot of gringos are gonna order a torta with carne asada or something. That’s kinda not the way to go. Better with carnitas or even better yet the torta cubana which has carnitas, milanesa, and a slice of ham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better with carnitas or even better yet the torta cubana which has carnitas, milanesa, and a slice of ham I am a Gringo, but grew up in California, and I know pretty good Mexican food, and ate it when I went to Mexico, and not just in Tijuana I usually went to eat Cali where no one spoke Englais. I'm not besmirching the Torta, but for some reason the Torta just didn't do it for me. I was never one of those guys who when out on liberty in foreign ports to go eat at a McDonalds. I always tried local food, and many times off the street or in little holes in the wall. How many here want to make Shepards Pie, and ask if the locals from the UK if they have any tips to make it right? Edited January 31, 2023 by Sgt.

duane v Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We pretend not to speak English so that we can hear what people really think. Then we speak Spanish around dumb-**** so they can't understand when we are talking smack about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We don't always use bad words...lol. It was nice to have a dad that spoke French as a first language and a mom that spoke Spanish. We all speak three languages pretty fluently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 I worked with a Puerto Rican and a Chinese guy most of my career. Of course, they taught me all the Spanish and Chinese curse words and I taught them the Italian ones (and some Yiddish ones I picked up from my dad who learned them growing up on the Lower East Side). Any how, one day, my co-worker, Pete was cursing me out in Spanish (jokingly), just as another employee walks by. Shaking his head the guy says: "Only in America can you see a Chinese guy cursing out an Italian in Spanish." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Ronald Reagan amnestied over three million Latinos in the late 80's, I felt much more comfortable speaking Spanish, as more people were speaking Spanish in the USA and especially SoCal.

There's an old joke that goes...... A man in Boston on business was packing to go home when he remembered a friend suggesting to not leave Boston without trying their specialty dish of Scrod. So when he got in his cab he discovered he had two hours until his flight and asked the cabbie, " Say, do you know where I can get SCROD around here?" The cab driver turned and said, "You know, I've been asked that question a thousand times, but never in the pluperfect subjunctive!"

Sounds like a dirty prostitutes fun zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagan nor anyone else ever amnestied French people, literally or figuratively.🙂 Speaking of cooking and food though, we had the best home food in the state of Arkansas.
