Cumberland Pie Traditional BRITISH Dish

[@weenedonpetrol]

I really wish people would stop knocking British food. Traditional recipes like this are equal to any cuisine in the world. ❤

[@BackyardChef]

They do indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@heatherlewis3713]

👋 from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺. People do the same thing to Australian Dishes. I find it Insulting.

[@yvonnewalesuk8035]

I agree with you. I think that reputation came from the 14 years of food rationing British people endured from 1940-1954. Even then, and thanks to good old-fashioned cooking skills practised by many working class women, home-cooked food was far better than that served in cafes at the time. During the war, American GIs were shocked at how little people had and if their experience was of eating in cafes, that's where the poor reputation came from. That's only my opinion though.

[@WilhelmScreem]

I agree, and it cuts the other way as well. Provincial peasant food from Spain, Italy, France etc can be equally hearty and delicious but isn’t necessarily so. Some of the ingredients or cooking methods are as unappetizing as is claimed about British food. I’m Canadian but lived many years in Somerset before returning home. I found any one trying to create a traditional dish from one place while in another never get it quite right. I never had a decent coffee, donut, or cheeseburger in the UK. Haven’t had decent steak and kidney pie, fries, shepherds pie since I got home.

[@sharongrace1582]

I think British cooking traditions are very similar to Irish traditions and I absolutely love the old recipes. They never had much to make a meal from but omg they put us indulgent generations of today to shame because they made delicious food from very little and that’s why I love watching Rik.

[@debbiekeay181]

I never think about my next day dinner. Before going to sleep I watch Rik. Nibble as he cooks because I am starving after I see what he makes. Check my fridge for ingredients. If I need something I order my groceries on line (yes, even at midnight). They arrive the next morning. Do my prep and voila, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious every time!!! The spelling is correct, I looked it up.

So many of your recipes look strangely like some my mom used to make in Quebec in the sixties. I guess they are part of the heritage left by the Brits when they were in charge of the country. My mom used to make something almost exactly like that. However the vegetables changed according to the leftovers she had in the fridge. Wonderful memories your channel brings to a man from the grand Montreal. And that will be my dinner tomorrow by the way.

Don’t forget Apple Pie! First recorded recipe for apple pie is in The Forme of Cury (Form of Cooking), a 14th Century cookery book created by the Master Cooks of King Richard II. So “As American as Apple Pie” isn’t true - it should be “As English as Apple Pie”😂

Looks delicious! Great for a family meal. Until I was 59, I always cooked ground meats the same way, the way you did here. And I called it browning because that's what I was taught. But there was hardly ever any visible browning that occured. The food tasted good, so the name never mattered to me. Then I would see chefs on TV when the Food Network came into being who insisted on the importance of browning until the meat developed a crusty texture. But then they'd toss the crusty browned beef into a soup where all the brown color would disappear along with the crusty texture. I laughed and believed it was just hype. All they'd accomplished was adding more dirty dishes to wash and wasting time. Then I saw a great video where an Oriental chef taught how to season a stainless steel wok to make it non-stick prior to cooking with it. He also went into great depth about why browning is such a critical part of Oriental cuisine. I tried what I learned from him. I browned ground beef at a screaming hot temperature in a controlled manner as he'd taught. I achieved a beautiful brown crust over most of the meat. I was flat out amazed at the flavor increase this imparted to the first soup I made this way. My whole large family noticed and asked me what I did differently. I still cook ground meat the old way too, but now when I crave that deep savory flavor I've discovered, I know how to achieve it. Thanks for the video!

She was what my dad called a war souvenir , she’s been gone a while now,but I miss her cooking and her ,I’m making something I’ve always loved is her potato soup, she claimed that my great grandmother taught her how to make it over a peat fire in a thatched cottage.

On occasions I like to make a similar type of pie but instead of using beef, or lamb mince I like to change its name to either a feathered game pie or a polterers pie depending on the meats that I have available ie feathered game can have the meat from pheasant, partridge ,grouse and pigeon, basically whatever bird has flown over the shoot that he has last attended and that I have managed to make him release from his freezer or for a polterers pie it’s more likely to contain the meat from the farmyard’s birds , so chicken,turkey,quail, Guinea fowl but basically anything else that he manages to bag in season and doesn’t want for his own table. Any way I like to cut the meats into small cubes no larger than a centimetre in size and stew it all together with the usual vegetable accompany of carrots,celery and a little bit of onion and if I can find some mushrooms that I recognise as being safe to eat they join the rest of the pie filling for the last 20 minutes or so of cooking. Then like you it gets covered with mashed potatoes and cheese and placed in the oven to crisp up the top.
