A tasty meat pie!

LOL Che'mark!! I usually don't look at the pie threads on DC cos they are usually sweet which just doesn't do it for me. To have some savoury pie lovers here makes me happy!! But won't be having any home baked pies until the sun has pulled it's shade down a bit!!!

Being in Florida I know what you mean about the heat, it gets pretty unbearable here and air conditioning is a must. Lamb pie is my favorite and I don't get uppity about what I put in that. The price of lambchops is through the roof but all the rest of the lamb is fairly inexpensive, A sirloin half of a leg will get me plenty for a couple pies and a nice lamb stew. I made the pie once with ground lamb instead of cut up and it was awfully dry. It's funny but lamb is not real popular here in the States so I have to be careful when I invite guests for a lamb dinner.

Found the same problem in Europe years ago. We were staying with friends and thought we would buy a leg of lamb and make a roast dinner for them. It was going to cost us 21 pounds Sterling for this small leg, which at the time was about A$60!!!! Think we took em to dinner in the end. It was cheaper!!! LOL

Just finished going through my email s from the Australia Day long weekend and found this recipe for a meat pie sitting in there:

Welcome to MASTERFOODS

More packaged bits and pieces than I am used to and never had a pie with two types of pastry but eh!
