Stovies ffs, thank you auto correct.

Eltonsglasses · 06/11/2021 18:37

I'm in Scotland and only found out (on here) about this sausage in a pie thing a few months ago - I'm in my 40s!

@StrapOnSallyChasedMeDownTheAli

I love a good beef sausage too, especially in my stovies. 🤤
Sausages in stovies ? That is an abomination. Steak pie has no sausages, stovies are made with left over roast beef. I’m from Aberdeenshire and have only heard of sausages in steak pie on MN.I’ve lived in Edinburgh for decades and nobody down here can make stovies, just some pale weird mush of potato, veg and wrong meat.

@nancywhisky

The sausage isnt put in whole - it's chopped up so it blends in with the pieces of steak.

Links steak sausage.

That sounds even worse
cowburp · 06/11/2021 18:40

Bit of horseradish in there too

Hamster1111 · 06/11/2021 18:40

Sausage and steak pie? Bloody hell this sounds delicious.

My SIL isn't allowed to make the New Years Day steak pie after sausagegate of 2017!

Imagine SIL the sole weegie at her first New Years Day with our family proudly presenting a steak pie with sausages in it to a bunch of Fifers!

Lots of "mum there's sausages in this steak pie, why is there sausages in the steak pie, what sort of weirdo puts sausages in a steak pie" this may have been me absolutely ruined dinner as it completely alters the taste & texture.

It was even worse than the time my Dundonian MIL gave me stovies with corned beef in them!

StrapOnSallyChasedMeDownTheAli · 06/11/2021 18:42

Beef trimmings and beef sausage in my stovies.

Or sometimes with corned beef...and you can't eat stovies without broon sauce.

MrsSugar · 06/11/2021 18:46

Oh I love steak pie with sausages thru it! Not had it for a few years now ! X

ditalini · 06/11/2021 18:47

It's like salt n sauce or salt n vinegar (but with leas precise geographic deliniation.

Also suspect theres a town/country and class thing going on probably back in the mists of time in terms of how much steak you could afford for your pie.

(Sausages all the way in this west coast house).

Hakunapotato · 06/11/2021 18:49

Stovies with sausage in my family. Although stovies were created to use leftover meat so each to their own. Steak pie is just steak for me. Never had it with sausage! Scottish also

wertheppl · 06/11/2021 18:49

I'm also Scottish and I hate sausages in a steak pie, I think it's weird. I know it can be a traditional thing around here and I do love sausage but not in a steak pie 🤢

ParkheadParadise · 06/11/2021 18:53

No sausages in my Steak Pie

Square Slice in my Stovies served with plain slice buttered bread and a mug of tea.

ThinWomansBrain · 06/11/2021 18:57

mushrooms - maybe
steak and ale
sausage?lconfused]

ThinWomansBrain · 06/11/2021 18:58

AgentProvocateur · 06/11/2021 18:59

Links in my steak pie, square in my stovies.

SirChenjins · 06/11/2021 19:02

Stories are made from braising steak and cooked slowly and served with oatcakes and beetroot - anything else is just plain wrong

zukiecat · 06/11/2021 19:05

I'm Scottish and in NE Scotland.

Steak Pie is one of my favourite meals, and I have had some with sausages in, but I prefer just all steak.

Has to be with carrots and onions too though,

SequinnedShawl · 06/11/2021 19:05

Sausages in a steak pie? Confused

Mushrooms, yes. Kidney, yes (but not for me)
Onion, yes. Sausage? Hell no.

Why mix perfectly good steak with sausage? Hmm

@StrapOnSallyChasedMeDownTheAli

I love a good beef sausage too, especially in my stovies. 🤤
Us too. Our stovies are made with beef square sausage, onions and potatoes all boiled together. I don’t like them mashed together, they’re better in chopped pieces. Someone once gave me stovies with corned beef 🤮. I’ve never recovered 😂
Lessstressedhemum · 06/11/2021 19:12

Steak and sausage here in Ayrshire and steak slice in the stovies.

Quickchangeartiste · 06/11/2021 19:14

@Chemenger with you all the way. Have to say though, Stovies with left over aromatic duck are amazing.
Also love a steak sausage, but keep it out of my pie.

GrandTheftWalrus · 06/11/2021 19:25

Someone mentioned the salt and sauce/vinegar thing. I remember a workmate who had came to my office and decided he was going for a chippy for his dinner and was astonished at being asked if he wanted salt and vinegar. He was in his 50s and had only ever heard of salt and sauce.

LesLavandes · 06/11/2021 19:26

I need to try this. Can someone please upload a recipe? I'm from Belfast and never heard of it 😮

I do my steak/onions/carrot in the slow cooker with a beef stock cube, a teaspoon of seasoned flour and a dash of Worcester sauce. I grill the sausages before adding the slow cooked steak and grilled sausages to a pie dish then top with puff pastry.
