Traditional Cornish Pastie

The original version of this recipe was found at Britain Express. For many generations wives in Corwall would make these ‘Hot Pockets’ of meat and vegetables, often leftovers from the previous nights supper for their miner, dock worker, etc. husbands to take to work for their noon meal. This recipe represents the traditional recipe when it was made from scratch. This recipe is not made with puff pastry but with a simple pie crust which the British call ‘shortcrust pastry’. If you wish to cut corners you can use premade refrigerated pie crusts from the supermarket.

British Pub Pickled Eggs

Pickled eggs are popular fare for pub-goers and low-carbers. Eggs used for pickling should have clean, sound shells. Small or medium eggs are usually a good choice for pickling so the seasoning can penetrate deeply into the egg. Fresh eggs are the best to use for pickling to ensure the highest quality possible since the eggs will be stored over a relatively long period of time. However, eggs at least a few days old will peel better after boiling.This is a refrigerator pickle only and are good for months properly refrigerated (if they last that long). 😉 Courtesy of helpwithcooking.com
