Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

I'm sure there have been accidents at that spot, there are three pubs and an intersection adjacent to the head.

Yikes!

There must be a story behind Brookes dying in the paupers' looney bin.

 

[Prester John]

I carry a lambsfoot...

...to, among other things, slit the crusts of my pies.

How 'bout you?

He died from 'apoplexy and chronic disease of the brain'. He didn't leave a lot of money - under £800 - but that would have scarcely made him a pauper in those days

Great-looking pie my friend

Because sometimes it's the only way I can open a bag of liquorice!

How 'bout you?

 

[Prester John]

Great-looking pie my friend

Thanks, Jack. It's frozen, but I'm going to eat it with homemade mashed potatoes with plenty of butter! Debating whether to have a glass of water with it or a beer.

What's the pie made of?

That sure looks good!

 

[Prester John]

It's beef with some vegetables: peas, carrots, potatoes. 4 minutes left on the timer!

Mmmm....Sounds good Vince, I think it'd go well with a beer

I am still off my food, but to be honest, for a man my size, that's not a bad thing!

That sure looks good!

Thank you my friend, came in a self-seal bag, but you needed a knife to open it!

Provecho hermano

Went with the water because I have to work this afternoon. (It's only midday here). Beer in a few hours! (Came close, though).

According to the good Prof. Tweedale, the company had its roots in the activities of John Brookes (1825-1865), the son of Jonathan Brookes, a cutler living in Broomhall Street, Sheffield.

That was wonderful Jack, thank you for taking the time to post it!

I couldn't "like" that. Poor fellow.

I'm guessing water, at this hour, and you a responsible respectable galoot..

I think the difference between our meat pot pies and the meat pies of Britain is that ours are soupy and theirs have gelatinned stock instead of soup, allowing a blockier shape and picnic portability. I'm lazy, but I think I have to get out my Jane Garmey Great British Cooking A Well-kept Secret, unfurl my apron, and have at it.
And why is it so long since I had hot dogs incised for cheese and wrapped in crescent roll dough?
And oh, I don't know about sausage rolls, but I used to get sausages in batter at that Greek Fish n Chips by the Ladbroke Grove Tube Station.

[Edited to change my beverage prophecy; I'm just sensing water now.]

I forgot about the time difference Vince! Yes, I hate working after beer!

My pleasure Glenn, Geoff Tweedale put in the hard work I used to live close to Broomhall Street, Broomspring Lane, and St Philip's Road

And oh, I don't know about sausage rolls, but I used to get sausages in batter at that Greek Fish n Chips by the Ladbroke Grove Tube Station.

LOL! I used to go in there Jer! First place I had both saveloys and Jamaica patties, and I also remember having sausages in batter from there!

Pics to come. Featuring lambsfoots.

Yep, went with the water for now.
Not an English pie, but on an English plate with an English knife!

I was hoping we'd get a pic!! That looks fantastic Vince, nice patina on your AC too my friend

 

[JohnDF]

Thanks for that Jack. Like most history, it's both interesting and sad, all at the same time.

Just taking another look at Vince's pie! You need some Henderson's Relish Vince!

Thanks John
