“I’m surprised, there’s not much gravy in the pie”. It’s not supposed to have gravy in it!!
Gravy doesn’t go with liquor does it? And it definitely doesn’t go with vinegar. You wouldn’t have a roast dinner with gravy and then put vinegar on it!
Talks about the filling being lumpy and not mashed up in Arments. That’s because they do it in the traditional way. Meat goes in the pie raw, a spray of water, a little seasoning, then the lid goes on and the meat cooks in the pie. Yes, this means the meat is more chunky but when you cut it open all that comes out is the juice from the meat and that goes lovely with liquor and vinegar. And THAT is traditional pie mash.
Manzes used to do it that way but slowly introduced gravy to the pies. Some of the shit holes over the water that claim to be traditional pie mash shops have the filling swimming in gravy. Not for me that.
