2 (14.75 ounce) cans creamed corn
7 potatoes - peeled, boiled and mashed
1/4 cup butter
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place ham in a 2 quart casserole dish and top with corn. Heat in preheated oven 10 minutes. Remove and top with mashed potatoes. Heat in oven for 20 more minutes, then remove.
Turn oven to "broil" setting. Dot potatoes with butter or margarine, then place pie under broiler just until golden brown on top, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

SCOTTISH MINCE PIE


1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

Place the ground beef in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover beef. Boil until beef is cooked through. Drain.
Add water to cover cooked beef, add onions and enough bouillon granules to taste. Cook until the onions are soft. Season with salt and pepper to your taste and make sure the filling has enough bouillon to have a nice beef flavor.

Pour beef mixture into the pastry crust and cover the top with pastry. Crimp edges and prick top.

Answer 3

You can get "Scotch pies" which are a bit of an acquired taste, but not bad, and there is a little known savoury item similar to a Cornish pasty, called a "Forfar Bridie", again not bad. Remember, many Scottish pies and pasties don't have lashings of gravy, or tons of flavour enhancers. Mostly, the ingredients are/were boiled, then filled into the pie/pasty and finally, baked in the oven.

Answer 4

pie with little scottish people in it.

Answer 5

The sweepings from a butchers floor mainly. They call it mince but the jury's out on that one.

gravy, baked beans, mashed (creamed) potatoes etc. The meat is usually mutton
