School Dinners Steak Pie And Scooped Mash Potato

Here's another of our School Dinners we have recreated, Tray Baked Steak Pie, Scooped Mash Potato and Veg. This was one of my favourite School dinners from the 1970's so we have to see how it stands up to today's school dinners. Let's see what you think.

Don't think I've read any negative comments on any of your vids. And the reason why: You two cook food that 'normal' people cook/eat. Could also be a generational thing too...back in the late 60s our school dinners we cooked by real cooks from scratch like this, cooking food that filled kids up. Quite a few kids at my school had free school dinners: might have been the only meal they got each day. I'm with Sharon (must be something in the name 😉): I love my slow cooker for meats like this. Plus I cook my pork joint in there too: ends up so tender. Great vid ❤️

[@butlersempire]

So you're another Sharon lol

[@1960gal]

@@butlersempire Yes indeed. I'm a Boomer to boot. And proud of both 😆

[@noraburgess6647]

Just how I remember school dinners, if I close my eyes I can taste it, you and Sharon are geniuses at taking us back to times that matter in our lives. 😘

[@butlersempire]

Our pleasure!

[@anthonke]

Pastry looks amazing

[@underbaked8689]

Different to my school dinners as this looks absolutely delicious! Also at my school they always cooked the pastry separate from the meat in a slab and funnily enough it wasn't too bad! This was in the early 1960's. Thanks for yet another brilliant episode, it brings a smile to my face.

[@justsaying6092]

😂😂😂😂😂it's that SHOOOSH!!! from Sharon, near the end for me. Lol

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

I liked mince beef and onion pie too

[@dillerud95]

Thanks for making these videos I want to make this dish soon. Always a good quality video with a lot the butlers humor mixed in. Always good solid entertainment thanks folks Best wishes from Norway 🇳🇴

[@butlersempire]

My pleasure 😊

I love watching you two the videos are great. Thank you for conversion chart received it today. Thanks for making me smile as I lost my husband in April and you both give me something to look forward to enjoy the school dinner much love X X X

[@butlersempire]

[@deborahcorey7562]

Love you Guys ❤️ I've just cooked mince & onions in the slow cooker to do a pie just like you guys have done even got the cabbage ready 👍🏻 the oldies are the best 👌 xxxxxxxx Thanks Sharon and Martin this is my grown up Son's favourite dinner!! ❤️

[@butlersempire]

Sounds great Deborah.

[@simonbaker5972]

You could have gone up for seconds! 😋 That looks really good. You nailed it! Didn't mind school dinners. But every now and then we'd sneak out to the chippy for a bag of chips!

[@stevepatmore36]

Tell ya what brought the memories flooding back, and the French say ``we cant cook``. Well done guys

[@elainefisher747]

That looks so good. Bigger than we would have had at school. We only had meat and two veg, at school so it would only be cabbage & mash.

[@DavidMFranks]

Great video. Your meals look well tasty, but my school mashed spud was horrid. I reckon tiling grout would've tasted better.

[@wildgooseman7047]

Had to watch just for seeing the words 'scooped mash potato' alone. The crust on the pie looked awesome. Brought back such strong memories I could taste it myself 🙂

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Just perfect! But we had that for our night time Dinner( tea), out here in Aussie land & in winter time.,as we always took sandwiches to school for lunch. Elaine from Queensland.

[@bigsteve9291]

I know this is nothing to do with, The school dinner,which is good by the way, But your yorkshire pudding recipe, I had 3 left over so I put it in a bag then the freezer (as an experiment)for a few days,and then reheated it from frozen and it was great, So I guess what I'm saying is I've cooked extra n frozen them ,cos they freeze real well x

[@butlersempire]

Love it x takes me back x wow

[@philipnewton7942]

Martin Sharon certainly know how to ease you I think you really enjoyed this meal mate it looks mouth watering Phil in stoke

[@oastie3]

I like my mash a little bit lumpy. Also, remember the over-cooked cabbage.😂

[@mamnan8953]

I suppose it depends where the dinner was made. A lot of schools didn't have kitchens. If they were cooked on site they were definitely better

[@WG1807]

Bloomin' 'eck, braising steak and steak pies. Where did you go to school Martin - Eton? Mind you, it is posh darn Sowf. Butter and milk in the mash too, gosh. Here in the NW we might have got minced beef and onion pie now and then. We also used to get braised Beef Heart about once a fortnight. I liked it but it always left a kind of furry feeling on the roof of your mouth. With the standard (lumpy) mash and over-boiled cabbage. Marvellous looking pie that is and the rest too.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@marygarnham764]

Just seen the Xmas cake made in the Cosori 3.5, I’ve just ordered this Airfryer, can’t wait for it to be delivered on 2nd November. I really like watching you both cook. Well done ❤

yes just like my late mum great cook

[@ianmedium]

School dinners were a nightmare for me! Being severely allergic to any animal based food I was a challenge to 1970’s dinner ladies, a challenge they simply did not want and the could not comprehend someone back then having allergies. I could have had chips, I could have had roast or mashed potatoes and hot veggies that were served at each meal but, because they thought I was “fussy” they decided that all I was allowed to eat was salad, all year round! And back then it was an English salad so two bits of lettuce, half a tomato and a few slices of cucumber, no oils, no salad creams just a slice of dried bread! So while everyone else had lovely food I had to sit there and eat just about the most bland meal you could imagine. Add in that most teachers were young so wanted to keep in with the hip crowd and be popular plus I’m dyslexic it is fair to say I hated especially my secondary modern school days, ignored by the teachers because I was not one of the in crowd drones and fed crap as a punishment for daring to have food allergies! I remember my last day which back then came after we received our exam results standing up at the goodbye assembly and taking the opportunity to tell them what I thought of the school, the teachers and the dinner ladies. I called the teachers cowards, the dinner ladies evil and the headmaster incompetent and walked out and have never been back since! I never had children but if I did, based upon my experience I would have sacrificed everything to give them a private education, bunch of utter wankers the lot of them! Sorry Martin, you can see 42 years later I still hold a grudge against the lot of them! I hope you had a better time of it than me!

[@butlersempire]

lol, I didn't like school either. Different world back then though.

[@susanbonita7752]

Well done shazz xxx

How long did you cook the meat for sharon, I must have missed that bit. That's a new tip I've learnt with the pastry, it's a good idea

[@TheStwat]

Oh lordy yes.

[@stephenmurphy5204]

Please. Do proper pie mash and licquer. Food of the gods

[@helenharrigan86]

Love u guys

[@RJWPG]

My recollection of the mashed potatoes is they were lumpy. Dinner ladies called them "muscles" for some odd reason.

[@arthurvasey]

Most of my school dinners were horrible - veg was always boiled, resulting in the healthy properties being absorbed into the water, which ended up being chucked out - didn’t always know how to do mash properly - “boiled potatoes” was the norm!

[@martinackbar7876]

good eating

[@dannyhogi4953]

Shame school dont do that now days all bout private companies makes money now days
