Not a soup either 18

Not a soup, stew, or sarnie. Not cow or pig or egg or chicken or fish.
That's how I got to Lancashire hot-pot, thinking it must be lamb. I'm stumped. Can't think of anything edible and animal with an obscure place name that hasn't been tried.

rosemole · 01/01/2025 21:26

So it's a hot, savoury dish made from animal and vegetable.
It's not beef, chicken, pig, or egg. Not a sandwich, soup or stew.
Name is a place name & surname.

Have we established in all that that it's British?

It is lamb. That one is free!

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/01/2025 21:27

We already established it is UK. Well we established the place is. So the thing is too.

rosemole · 01/01/2025 21:28

Shepherds pie?

Shepherd is an animal. Shepherd's Hill is a place.

Shepherd is an animal. Shepherd's Hill is a place.

I'll say no for free because @Vignoble is right that that isn't a place.

TBF I had no idea my one was a place either.

Vignoble · 01/01/2025 21:31

Hmm.. Lamb makes me think of curry. There is a Currie in Midlothian.

heldinadream · 01/01/2025 21:32

I thought Sheps Pie and dismissed it on not-a-place grounds. So it's lamb! I thought so but I'm damned if I can think what it is.

I'd lump curry in with stew (I apologise to literally everyone for this). So no.

rosemole · 01/01/2025 21:36

I can't think of any more lamb dishes! Gonna have to consult family

Huge clue.

Some people would have had it in the house last night. Those people will DEFINITELY have it in the house at the end of this month.

heldinadream · 01/01/2025 21:42

Well I now know WAY more about haggis than I ever thought I would, but haggis is not a place...😂

Miepmiep · 01/01/2025 21:42

Is it haggis?

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/01/2025 21:44

It is haggis. And it was Google that told me it was a place name. I didn't know. It's a Burn and a place supposedly.

That might be cobblers.

Anyhow, great guessing!

rosemole · 01/01/2025 21:47

Great choice, Mrs T.

Any newbies want a go?

Wikipedia haggis page said nothing about it being a place! Waahhhh! So close...😬

Miepmiep · 01/01/2025 21:51

I have one… technically, it is not animal, vegetable nor mineral but I will go with vegetable, which is a bit of a clue.

rosemole · 01/01/2025 21:54

Vegetable just means any plant life - is it included in that?

OP posts:
Miepmiep · 01/01/2025 21:57

Colloquially, yes, biologically, no.

Miepmiep · 01/01/2025 22:00

I won’t count that one!

heldinadream · 01/01/2025 22:04

A family tree?
