recipe for original meat Humble Pie?

Question

Americans make fruit humble pie. I am looking for a meat version of this old time dish. Do you have one ?

Answer 1

I have no idea - mine always goes something like this, a dash of sorrow, a helping of humility, a touch of sadness and a huge dollop of apology!

Answer 2

Humble (or umble) pie isn't strictly speaking, meat.

Back in the 1700's, when vension was the staple meat of the wealthy, the servants would use the leftovers from the carcass to make a pie.

In this case, 'leftovers' would mean the brain, lungs, heart, kidneys, intestines and other normally discarded offal. This was all mixed with suet and a lot of seasoning, then baked in a pie.

It is from this we get the phrase 'to eat humble pie', meaning to debase oneself.

Answer 3

the original dish dates back to 16th Century England and was called "umbles pie" — a meat pie made from deer umbles (the heart, liver, and miscellaneous innards). These less desirable meats would be taken home by the huntsman who killed a deer for a nobleman, while the nobleman would get the venison. The umbles would be baked into a pie to create a modest dish suitable for a poor man.. The link has the recipe

Answer 4

Humble pie - it's a corruption of 'Umble' - meaning the entrails or offal of the animal. The lord and master ate the best cuts of meat, leaving the servants to have the innards - the saying 'To eat humble pie' means to show a little contrition, to be more 'lowly' - like the servants - so you need the liver, kidneys, lites, chitterlings, IF you can get them, and IF you'd want to eat them!!

This up-to-date humble pie makes a great heat-and-serve meal that can be prepared in advance

The first step in making humble pie is to prepare and partially cook the meat filling mixture Season the pieces of steak with pepper, then brown the meat in a large skillet using a small amount of vegetable oil. Set the browned meat aside. Place the vegetables and garlic in the skillet and cook until softened. Return the browned meat to the skillet, add the beefstock, bay leaf, salt, remaining pepper, and tomato juice, and tomato juice and stir until hot. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and place in the oven for 1 – 1¼ hours or until the meat is tender. Mix the cornflour with ¼ cup cold water and stir into casserole to thicken. Add the chopped pepper and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool well.
(Note: pastry put onto hot meat will have a soggy layer underneath when cooked.)
Place the cold meat mixture in a pie dish. Cover with rolled pastry. Brush with beaten egg or milk. Bake at 2000 for about 30 minutes, until pastry is crisp and golden. Cook’s Tip Add chopped herbs such as parsley or thyme to the casserole if wished. Serves 6 1 lb round steak, cubed 1/4 c all-purpose flour 1/2 ts salt 1/8 ts pepper 1 c regular strength beef broth 1 ea medium potato 2 ea medium carrots 1 ea small onion, minced 1 ea egg optional
