Traditional New Year Meal?

dorry_2

hi,

We always have a huge lunch on New Years day. We haven't got babysitters, so we are always raring to go on New Years day, as we have stayed in New Years Eve and have had a good sleep!

We always have leg of lamb, with rosemary and garlic. roasties, mash, sprouts, peas, carrots, parsnip, stuffing, sausagement, redcurrant jelly and yorkshire puddings.:D

For as long as I can remember we have also had steak pie with mashed tatties and neeps in our house. It's the only time of year I make it from scratch. Mind you, I don't make the pastry myself now. Ready made is much better than I can do

Jayar which kind of pastry do you use? My mum (and I) use puff.

It's a bit of a faff to make just for a bit of steak pie, so we buy it too. Nothing to be ashamed of....

Now I'm off into hiding

Looks around for freyasmum
Oh well, when she comes back will someone tell her I use puff pastry too. I don't cook it on the pie now, just do squares separately in the oven. Nice and errr puffy?

Hi Jayar
Yum! That sounds delicious. I might do that the next time I make it, but this year I'll be at my mum and dad's Mum always makes it *on* the pie so that the bottom absorbs the juice (that actually sounds horrible _pale_ but it isn't, I promise ) and the top goes crispy. In fact, she's already got it made.

Traditionally steak pie (with puff pastry) with links and mashed tatties here too. Although in recent years it's been roast beef. I need to ask my mum how to make the steak pie though as I have never made it myself!

Steak pie! With loads of creamy mash and vegetables :drool:

My mum is the best at making it, she always add pork links (sausages) to it and it's delicious. Funnily enough though, no one likes it made with beef links _pale_.

Steak pie for us as well (a bit of Scottish tradition, isn't it?) with puff pastry. Never heard of adding sausages, sounds good, when do you add them in? Right at the beginning so they cook as long as the steak? And do you brown them first?

Steak pie here too....but from the butchers......dont fancy the sausages!!!

We are breaking from tradition this year,we are having steak with pepper sauce!

Roast beef here too and my lot insist on the skirlie aswell!

I am working until 5.30 new years day so the chances are it will be frozen pizza. Never really had a new years day tradition for a meal.
