What Kind O' Pie?

[infinite monkey]

Yeah 'cause of the Corn Laws.

It's like Bopsey Kernels now. Bopsey Kernals on the Rod, great for a heat and eat on the rolling ground kiln, in aluminiminimunium papier, wi' a dab o' clarified potted grease, and a tech of the ol' sodium, eh now.

Yeah, and pies are meat.

Sis-in-law's cornstuffs IN a casserole dish IN the oven. We need to add some kind of finely chopped meat product for legitimacy? Can it be real meat or does it need to be brain or stomach or gristle?

Oh, eh, wot blimey lot pot?

This is why we wanted independence.

When Mrs. Z was younger, she and her roommate went to a potluck party where everyone was supposed to bring a casserole. They brought M&M casserole to a party. (M&Ms in layers of plain, peanut, plain, in a casserole dish) It was a hit.

Later, on a whim, they submitted the recipe to the Post-Dispatch in St. Louis. The paper loved it there and even did a food section story on Mrs. Z and roomate - and printed the "recipe" in full.

I'd call that a crock-pot dish.

Yes, because that's what it is.

I thought a crockpot was something that had to be plugged in?
I've always avoided the recipes because I don't have one.

Yes and no. Crockpot is a brand name for a slow cooker. It's basically a dutch oven with its own heating element. You could do the crockpot recipes in a dutch oven with the heat turned sufficiently low.

'Pie'occupies a different cultural space over here I think. Different connotations entirely.

Oo et all the pies?
