[@thassalantekreskel5742]

Tip for separating fat from stock without having to spoon it out. Pour it all into a watertight jar or container and turn it upside down in the fridge until the fat solidifies. Then turn it right side up again and the broth can be poured freely without taking along the fat, and you can save or dispose of the fat as you like.

[@rockbutcher]

Thank you John for this. You have brought back an amazing memory. When my (Scottish) Grandma had to go into surgery back when I was in University, she made enough Scots meat pies for my Grandpa to cover her stay in the hospital. He burns water. She left him clear written instructions on how to warm them up. Well one afternoon, he called me and asked me to come over and watch the hockey game (we live in Canada) and said that my Uncle Sandy was coming too. Long story short, Sandy, Poppa and I ate all of the pies in one evening and Sandy and I had to take him out for supper for the next week LOL.

My Scottish family makes minced beef and onion filling, thickened with old fashioned rolled oats, ground or toasted, with an equal volume of ACP vinegar, that is repeatedly simmered until a light crust is formed on the bottom of our cast iron pan, then scraped from the bottom of the pan and covered with water again, until the oatmeal is the same color as the meat, three or four times until ready for final additions of salt, pepper and beef flavorings. I use 2 ounces of oatmeal to 2 ounces of vinegar for a pound or half kilo of 10% fat ground sirloin. Kids and adults love the hearty taste with mashed potatoes and mashed (sweeds/rutabegas). This filling also makes great hot sandwiches in any kind of bread, and a cold filling for small pies cooked as you do. Thanks for your wonderful tips and tricks!

I first encountered these pies many years ago whilst hiking in Scotland. However, the crenelated edges were much higher on the pies I found in the shops.

In the States, I make these with your crust recipe (which is PERFECT to hold up to a little juice and such and bakes up wonderfully! I make mine with lining it with leftover creamy mashed potatoes in a nice layer on bottom, then pieces of leftover pot roast and caramelized onions pour a little of the gravy (couple teaspoons/tablespoons depending on size of pie) from the roast (thickened a fair bit thicker than your's so as not to make the crust soggy whilst cooking) then put the top on and seal. I serve with a side of broccoli casserole or country green beans (I'm Southern) and drizzle the gravy over the top like you. I've also done it with meatloaf leftovers and it was a huge hit. PERFECT for a cool evening meal or a good steady rainy day. The crust is versatile for virtually anything that you want to make a real hearty meal out of.

My goodness, Sir, it sounds like the Scottish Winnie the Pooh is reading me a bedtime story about making savory pies. Now I am soothed, hungry and nostalgic. The baby doc that I had with my first child was also nicknamed Pooh for his bedside demeanor and it really helped me through a very tough time. It's not just your voice.

Just so you know, if you want to learn more about the man's accent, he's either from Newcastle or from Sunderland, or from a town or village outside of either. It's one of the most interesting accents in the UK, and there's LOTS of stuff online about it if you're further interested. As you can hear, some of the vowels follow patterns found in further south in Northern England, but some of the vowels are closer to Scots. This is partly due to the fact that the Tyneside is closer to Edinburgh than London. It's closer to Edinburgh than most of England to be fair.
