So today I made this amazing mince pie! My gran used to call it ‘sheet pie’ but I like to call it ‘mince slice’ but whatever you want to call it, it is simply a massive mince pie :) Seriously easy to make…and absolutely delicious. Hope you give it a go!

Yum! This is my kind of Scottish channel ... none of the fake news channels spewing out SNP propaganda! School dinners at my primary school in the 50's served tasty, nutritious dishes like this! All meals made from scratch!

[@Brian-og7qn]

Oh I’m gonna give this a go. Wee Scottish lassie, I’ve been in Australia 33 yrs, nice to here a voice from home …

[@patriciacarline6975]

Made this with minced pork that needed using - used chicken stock and some dried sage - worked beautifully - served with sprouting brocolli and mash!

[@lesleyphillips931]

Sounds great. I'm going to try both ways. Thank you.

[@dlgrilli]

Hello from across the pond! My husband's family moved here from Cumbernald to California in the sixties. I love listening to you because you sound like my mother-in-law, who I adored and miss tremendously! I've been to Scotland several times to visit family and I find so much peace in your videos! Blessings to you!

[@spex357]

Away to Arran, nice. I had extra School dinners during part of my school life after my Summer Essay in English lesson made my Teacher cry. I can still remember Minced beef and onion slice because I ate so much of it. If there was any left in the tray, a Teacher would chuck on what Veg was left, to save on washing up. And I'd have to sit there and eat it all out of the tray, whilst the Cleaners worked around me and adults whispered about me to the Teacher, and I could take no notice of any normal School life. Some Days I'd have to finish off a huge jug of custard and some sponge as well. As such i really enjoyed School dinners. In my School the Kitchen was open plan so we could see Cook pricking the bottom. I really don't remember it being so Golden, maybe they had been a bit tight on the wash, Milk if I remember rightly, and after everyone else had left to go back to Lessons, Minced slice was a few hours old and had been kept warm, and as such was much drier than the out of the oven version. If there was no Gravy left I might be lucky and there might be Baked Beans left. Mash, Slice and Baked Beans, wow!

[@dennystewart3238]

Not only does that look wonderful but I love listening to your accent!

[@Johnny-sr7mq]

Brings back memories my mother worked in the school meals as a cook give minutes from my school my best pal and I always went round for seconds I'm 72 and you've brought it all back thank you.

[@chanelc95]

Your meals are so comforting, you cook so well 😊

[@juneroberts5305]

That's dinner sorted for tonight! 😁 Video came just in time, because I'm on my way to the shops and can pick up the pastry sheets! 💙

[@lindawalters4888]

I love your videos , I have very wonderful Scottish friends here in Australia, , they tell me about school lunch , we never had that here , thanks for sharing

[@BridiesMammaG]

I used to love my school dinners in Scotland

[@yasminalz4576]

I made this for my husband as a treat as I rarely make pastry things.... We had it when my mother flew in from Scotland, she's making another visit this week and has requested the mince pie again!! Back again to remind myself of the recipe! Thank you!

[@wendellfugate4225]

Glorious and classic. Many thanks. You are a culinary champion.

[@thescottishdetective]

Thank god a Scottish cooking youtuber lmao was starting to talk american watching all these wans lmao

If you Google John kirkwood he’s the KZbinr you should follow..his cooking recipes and tutorials are great…

[@samanthal562]

Making this for tonight. Absolutely delicious 😋

[@jlily8909]

Went up and made this but added a bit of Worcester Sauce, some pepper, and a tiny bit of Bisto, can't wait to assemble tonight!!! Had a bit of the mince with bread and butter (just to taste😊), GLORIOUS!!!

[@melissalambert7615]

This looks wonderful. Going to school in the US I never had anything this nice. Hello from Oregon USA.

[@charlotteb7433]

Ayrshire potatoes.....the very best spud in the world...Yum!

[@valeriedocherty8988]

That totally wakened my memory of the taste. I'll need to make it when finally I have a bunch of family with me. It's just a wee bit too much for only me.

[@margaretr5701]

I think it freezes well if you want to make it for yourself. Then again, it's nice to share a delicious meal.😊

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Valerie you could do what l do when l'm cooking for one. Cut the pastry into 6 and make 6 smaller ones. Take 5 of them out about 10 minutes early and cook the 6th for the full time. Eat the one and freeze the other 5 when they're cool. Wrap them separately and you'll be able to take out as many or as few as you want. When you're ready to eat another one, thaw it and cook it for the 10 minutes it missed out on. It will come up like freshly baked. 🙂

[@gerardsmith4401]

Fantastic Cheryl! 😋 x

[@CallardAndBowser]

Dang it ! Why couldn't I have grown up in Scotland and eaten that ! 🤓

[@LoriCiani]

This looks sooo good, I'm now absolutely starving! Thank you for another tasty dose of nostalgia. 😊

[@deemdoubleu]

Hi, I'm sure our dinner ladies used plain flour to thicken the mince. I always loved school dinners especially mince beef pie and through experimentation managed to reproduce the flavour and texture. The flour just mnakes it for me. Thanks.

[@maryoleary2037]

I would use flour also. I'd stir it into the cooked meat, before adding the water. You get a nice gravy that way.

[@AeiSedai1976]

Nothing like this here in Canada but definitely going to try it in the fall!!

[@SandraNelson063]

Its like a simpler version of tourtierre.

[@AeiSedai1976]

@@SandraNelson063 I would be a happy woman if I could nail the tourtiere.. just nvr found a recipe that tastes right. The one from costco is pretty good tho. Funny. I absolutely hated when I parents brought home hot meat pies from the bakery for dinner!

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Excellent recipe 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a lovely day everyone 🌻

[@LindaC616]

Good afternoon!

[@kentkaiser9381]

I had to rewind the whole "primary school" thing to make sure she really said it. As a half yank, our school lunches had something called "flying saucers". While there are many variants, my school's interpretation was a slice of bologna, a plop of mashed potatoes (instant) on top, with a pile of shredded cheese to cover it Then it was slapped in an oven until the cheese melted and the edges of the bologna curled. Afterwards, it was scooped on a lunch tray and slung to us. Had I known of this alternate reality, I would have demanded to go live with my aunt in Newton Mearns.

[@margaretr5701]

Growing up in the UK, I remember delicious school dinners, complete with great desserts, sorry you didn't have the same.. I wonder if they still do school dinners, cooked from scratch in the school kitchens. I don't live there now, so no one to ask, perhaps google knows😊

[@annerutherford1187]

@@margaretr5701 still made from scratch in the school I work at. Although now schools dinners are a bit more cosmopolitan eg curry, lasagna, Spag bol, pizza but we still have cheese and onion flan, mince pie , cheesy potato, sausage and mash, roast dinner once a week.

[@lesleydickson7746]

Scottish school dinners used to be amazing. I feel sorry for the children now having to have ‘healthy’ lunches. Tasteless, tiny portions. 😕

[@margaretr5701]

@@annerutherford1187 nice to hear!😋 One of my favourites used to be cod, mashed potatoes and peas, very plain but I liked it! School dinner desserts were the best. Looking back, I really admire how organised it was, the school, originally built for 3,000, had over 7,000 students, and if I recall correctly, we had dinners in shifts! Well done to the dinner ladies, hard working angels😇😇😇 I also remember teachers stood by to keep order! We were very quiet, no talking, single file, etc. Everyone was nice though, no bad memories. Keep up the good work, Anne!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

@@margaretr5701 My great aunt used to put cut potatoes in a baking dish, cover them with frozen cod fillets, then put a package of frozen cut spinach on top of that, and then poured cream of mushroom soup (Campbell's) all over it, and bake it for about an hour. It always was delicious.

We had these pies at school in England too! Always enjoyed seconds!

[@marypoppins123]

Letting you know that I made this for my Family and my eldest son and his girlfriend....was a complete WINNER. I needed to make more as their were requests for 2nds. I made it with peas and served it on mashed potatoes (butter&cream) Family recipe now. Thank you from New Zealand

[@ilonamollema6467]

Here in the Netherlands we don't have school dinners. Everybody brings a lunch box with slices of bread and a jug with milk or something like that. But this really looks delicious!😋 I'm definitely going to try this recipe! So thank you for sharing! Saying hi from the Netherlands 🤗

[@martinburke362]

The Scots can do anything with mince it's a favourite down here in Yorkshire, I particularly love the Bridies that you have up there in the bakers shops

[@sleepymeadow6434]

You dont get brownies down there?

[@obsidiandwarf]

Hey, Cheryl. I must have done something wrong. I followed your instructions exactly but, I only got three portions...... (and I had two of 'em). :-)

[@obsidiandwarf]

@@danielvallelunga1596 MEA CULPA< MEA CULPA... BUT it was so damn good. (took 45 mins to cook and 25 to eat... is that beyond naughty? :-)

[@obsidiandwarf]

@TheRenaissanceman65 Yes. Yes I do. Here, you haven't been talking to my mum, have you? (To be fair (warning: incoming excuse posing as a reason), I hadn't eaten since the morning before (porridge) and I was thinking of getting a couple of steak bakes from Greggs. Since I already had the ingredients, I thought why not? After taking it out of the oven I had a coupla pieces. 'Wonder if my son would like some?' I asked him but, due to him being asleep and in another room 12 feet away, he didn't answer. I took that as a 'No thanks, dad' and well, the rest is gluttony. I meean, HISTORY. HISTORY!

Ahahaha!

Wouldn't bother with it mate. Make you're own Recipe. Sure you won't have to blag about it on KZbin either. All the best 👍

[@Keinerboy]

Made this tonight. Followed the instructions and it was very easy and cooked perfectly. You could literally add any fillings such as Cheese and Onion, Steak and Kidney, Meat and Potato or even Cherry or Apple etc. Very satisfying.
