OK, I've succumbed! I'm wanna try Brit baking!!
Can any Brit regulars recommend Paul Hollywood's new cookbook, Pies and Puds? I usta have the cookbook companion to the Aubrey/Maturin series of novels (P. O'Brian), but it was too dang ancient. Even the authors admitted they had probs trying to authenticate such items as, "Soused Pig Face(?) and "sea pie", fer example. PH's new cookbook is a bit more modern. I wanna learn about "stk & kidney" pies, "pasties", and hot-crust "pork pies". etc. So I'm asking the "limey" contingent, here in rfc, does the new PH cookbook actually deliver? ![]() nb |

That would be my understanding too. What I don't understand is why someone would name their daughter "Fanny." Wouldn't that be like me naming my daughter "bagina?" |

Sorry I don't know who Paul Hollywood is. As for steak & kidney pie, I first saw a recipe for it in 'The Good Housekeeping Cookbook' circa 1978. My father gave the cookbook to me for my 18th birthday. I like to read cookbooks so I remembered that book had a recipe for it. Steak & Kidney Pie always sounded intriguing. I've never been able to find kidneys. Not beef or lamb kidneys. Not even at the butcher shop in town which is co-owned by a woman from the UK and her Southern US husband. LOL She says she can't get kidneys. This is a regional thing. But the recipe for Steak & Kidney Pie is easy enough to find. ![]() Jill |

I've got a good friend who grew up in England and he always uses that word. It certainly doesn't bother him even though he was a limey. Maybe the ones here do take offense though. I don't know. Really nothing offensive meant with the term. British sailors of old ate limes to prevent scurvey on long sea voyages. Back then, the French were called "frogs" just because their green uniforms were about frog color to someone. |

Seppo's not used much anymore, I think. I hear pom and kiwi all the time. >Really nothing offensive meant with the term. British sailors of >old ate limes to prevent scurvey on long sea voyages.

I always thought "Limey's" was a slightly affectionate term applied to British sailors due to their discovery of limes preventing scurvy. If I've offended any British subjects for using this term, I apologize. ![]() > Sorry I don't know who Paul Hollywood is. He's a British baker with a USA name.
