It was handed down from my grandfather's family, and consists of ingredients that can survive a long sea voyage, hence the name Sea Pie. Quite simply, it is a dish for mariners. Although key ingredients are corned beef, onions, potatoes, and salt pork, the real star is the thick crust that lines the pot and covers the dish, that is made with flour, water, and beef suet! It is thick, moist, and quite chewy. This is a hearty dish, but somewhere they added sage to give it more flavor. <BR/> I have the recipe. <BR/>jerryselleck@comcast.netJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530472326194143268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-87587261968148495112006-12-28T23:27:00.000+10:002006-12-28T23:27:00.000+10:00Happy Birthday, Janet!

You'd have to fasten them on either side - perhaps by means of forked sticks or some more secure method - but it could be done. But skewering the meat itself works, too. I am reminded of a middle eastern barbeque method that involves digging a long shallow trench, which is filled with hot coals; guests sit beside the trench on their cushions and roast their own meat and veg on individual skewers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-72198862094644566082006-12-28T08:15:00.000+10:002006-12-28T08:15:00.000+10:00what a great blog, and the Companion blog as well....what a great blog, and the Companion blog as well. the subject is endless it'll take years to make the book - but what a read it would be.lorenzo23https://www.blogger.com/profile/03703276296616620943noreply@blogger.com
