Scotch pies for #bestpie by @rebeccabe

I went to the supermarket yesterday and spotted these Scotch pies and remembered @rebeccabe @sndbox inspired post on doing something different. I have never tried these pies and so I bought some.

They are precooked so you just throw them in the microwave and one minute later they are piping hot and ready to eat.

They were OK but I wouldn't consider them the #bestpie in the world. They are a very old pie (not the ones I bought) and were probably eaten by workers down a mine or somewhere equally awful.

Having done a little research on them I can tell you that they are made with short crust pastry and the filling is made with mutton and herbs.

Best eaten with mushy peas and or gravy. Neither of which I had to hand so didn't get the full experience. It was just a bit of fun and I tried something new.

What have you done new recently?
