The Original Scouse Recipe (aka LOBSCOUSE or LABSKAUSE)
Some people make their loose spud pie so wet, it is like a stew with a crust on.

My potato pie has a top crust, and is usually made with corned beef......if it has no crust it is tater hash.
That's how my gran made hers ... every tuesday. The underside of the crust was to die for.

Clayton Street chippy (in Harrod) has new owners now and they have a rag pudding on their menu - apparantly its amazing and I did hear claim that if you didnt like it, u could return it! Dont quote me on that bit tho!

This chippy and its "Clacky Diner" remains Harrod's TOP chippy! (IMO)

Also, I recently had FABULOUS loose potato pie with gravy on top, from that little bakery near Wilko's and opposite that cash converters shop in Accy

Lol, at return the pudding if you don't like it.

How long do they give you to decide?

Can you retch it back up, or even wait until it comes out the other end, before taking it back, as unliked?

I might pop down and try my luck.

Re: loose potato pie

Gobbiners Cafe in Ossy make loose potato pie for their outside catering. It consists of potatoes, steak, onions and carrots with a pastry on the top.

Scouse was, but will have changed a bit now, all the leftovers bunged in big pan and left to "gain flavour". It was stirred around bringing the bottom to the top, and continually added to. The scouse pan was rarely empty, being topped up every day.

Yeah -fab! My Nanny used to make great steak puddings...they used to do a really good (and Massive!) one at The Swan with Two Necks in Pendleton too. I'm going back about 30 years before it was "done up" and they got rid of the stuffed bear!

A pie is anything cooked, or baked, with an edible lid.
I used to work for a caterer up in Ossy (Jean Hurn) from the age of 16-18 - serving up buffets and Loose potato pie at various local "dos" round the Accy area - the pastry was always cut up and served separately, on the side. It was always eaten with pickled red cabbage or beetroot. A great favourite especially with the older clients -Darby and Joan club etc!! (I always used to get great tips, especially if i had a dance with a few of the old chaps)
