I've got a hankering fer a porkpie this fall season, basically it's ground pork (2/3), ground beef {1/3}, and mashed potatoes. in a double crust with some seasonings. I'm liking Gordon Ramsey's recipe

but I think it's more like a fine diced potato than mashed or maybe a coarse, rough mash, not a puree.

I'd prefer the onions fried,  but the ajvar might make up for it.

 

Thanks.

"Ajvar?"  Is that the red sauce?  I have no idea what that is, but it looks good.  Share!

A red pepper and eggplant dip/spread from the Balkans 

One version. 

 

 

 

Some people make it with some hot peppers in the mix, some with lots of garlic.

Quote

The "garbage plate" is a term trademarked by Nick Tahou Hots, the restaurant where this famous upstate New York dish was invented. Each plate consists of meat — typically a burger or sliced hot dog — atop a combination of home fries, french fries, macaroni salad, and baked beans. Mustard, ketchup, onions, and a meaty Rochester "hot sauce" are often added to complete the sloppy delicacy.

Not aditting to anything, but that sounds like it would hit the spot.

I made a pie. The rings that I used to protect the edges left me with a problem,  my oven mitts touched the crust and broke it. I figured that I needed wings on the rings.  Scissors solved the ‘blem.  Will have to try the modified ring soon.

Get a Patent! Could make it with stamped in handles. 

 

[Brock]

so there was different review where the customer said the rings didn't fit her glass pie plate because of the handles.  DUHHH, cut slots.
