I’m Scottish so it’s the law that we Have Steak pie, mashed potatoes and peas😂
The beef’s been in the slow cooker since 8am and is just about hitting the falling apart stage 🤤, and tomorrow it’ll get a puff pastry lid before going in the oven.
Thinking I may break slightly with tradition and do roast potatoes as well as mash.
When my parents were around it was always trifle for pudding, but no real fans now, so I’ve just made a Biscoff cheesecake which is LUSH.

Whats on your menu?

English but live in the west of Scotland so steak pie here, with baked potatoes, veg and trifle for afters.

Not Scottish but always steak pie with Mash and veg.

Made the filling yesterday.

TartanMammy · 31/12/2024 18:46

Steak pie here. Usually we get a Malcolm Allan but the quality has gone down hill, so I got one from the local pub. It better be good at £30 for a 4 person pie!!
I'll do it with carrots, brussels, parsnips, mash and roasties as we didn't have a traditional Xmas dinner this year. I've made lentil soup for starters and banoffee pie for dessert.

Good to see so many law abiding Scots having their steak pie!😂

I can’t wait for the soggy underside of the puff pastry😂

I love how this thread has brought out all the Scottish posters!

LyndaSnellsSniff · 31/12/2024 18:54

Roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, Brussel's sprouts and carrots. We've also got your bread sauce that we lost on Christmas Day to use!

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and Bucjs Fizz for breakfast

My mum was Northern Irish but lived in Scotland all of her adult life - I swear she’d come back and haunt me if I didn’t serve steak pie on New Years Day!

Any mention of steak pie and we appear!

NotaRealHousewife · 31/12/2024 19:03

@BashfulClam You should be ashamed of yerself, sausages go in the pie!

No33 · 31/12/2024 19:05

I may be very hung over, and as my father is Scottish and there is steak pie in the freezer, guess we'll have that 😁

Will have the "new year's" roast on Thurs!

HermoinePotter · 31/12/2024 19:05

Steak pie with beef links and a puff pastry top, roast and mashed potatoes, carrots, peas and broccoli. Trifle for dessert.

My MIL used to serve her steak pie just after the bells, we have ours on New Years Day.

HermoinePotter · 31/12/2024 19:08

BashfulClam · 31/12/2024 18:36

Nooo that’s it ruined!

😱. Oh you have to have steak links in a steak pie.

BashfulClam · 31/12/2024 19:10

@HermoinePotter @NotaRealHousewife my mum worked in a butchers for 25 years and said that sausage in a pie was a poor person thing as it bulks out the pie with cheaper meat. She was proud that she could afford a fully steak pie. I’ve stuck with that!

NotaRealHousewife · 31/12/2024 19:10

🤣🤣

Scottish, grew up in west, live in east. Steak pie, mash and roast veg. Would have been trifle for pudding but since df died I haven’t been able to face making it. When he was a child steak pie was hogmany tea, to help absorb the alcohol. Not sure when it switched to New Year’s Day.

NotaRealHousewife · 31/12/2024 19:12

I remember years ago when I still stayed with my parents, I came stoating home one new years after having a few shandies and I was starving... ate all of the sausage out of the steak pie and didn't remember until we sat down to dinner the next day!

Crispynoodle · 31/12/2024 19:13

We're having beef bourginnon and champ!

My dad would have a fit as he saw that as a lower class pie, despite the fact we were as working class as they came! Council terrace bought under right to buy, mum working in a butchers then Asda and him working for the ‘electric board’ lol

TigerRag · 31/12/2024 19:15

We had roast lamb today. Tomorrow I'll either have salmon or the rest of the lamb from today

Pootle40 · 31/12/2024 19:16

Steak pie-Scottish too!

LittleLlama · 31/12/2024 19:16

We are having a leg of lamb, not particularly traditional but my favourite.

Vettrianofan · 31/12/2024 19:17

As always, yep. Steak pie (home made) with tatties peas and carrots to bring in the New Year. Big walk first thing in the morning usually too (weather permitting).

NotaRealHousewife · 31/12/2024 19:18

@BashfulClam we had posh steak pie that day as there wasn't a sausage left!

CeliaCanth · 31/12/2024 19:20

Roast pork - my mum (from the North East) always insisted that it’s the traditional New Year’s Day roast!

i love the pastry, the soggy bit! Wish they would sell the gravy in pots so you could have that with the tatties!
