NYD steak pie, links or no links.

Well?
Definitely links here, beef links.

cdtaylornats also clacks too but i couldnt stomach the kidneys lol

I don't understand everyone pissing about with the classic combination of steak, gravy and pastry - you can feck off with your sausages, mushrooms, onions, black pudding and most especially with the kidneys! :o

I'm not saying that I wouldn't eat a steak pie with other things in it (except kidneys.....and sausage) at other times of year and with clear labelling, but not at new year.

Ah, but the classic combination in my family has links at New Year!

I never had steak pie growing up on NYD, just wasn’t a thing. But now I live in West Central it’s got to be beef links...def no kidney...that’s wrong on every level
I’m ordering from butcher though, not making it myself!

Brillo It's time to let the sausages go.... :)

We always had tripe and stovies and tattie soup on NYD. I've embraced the Steak Pie though.

Leave my links alone!

Be honest brillo I bet you pick out and eat all the sausage bits first to get them out the way so you can enjoy the rest of the pie in comfort.... :o

@WaxOnFeckOff,......Tripe.... Boak!!!!

Boak indeed Nomoretears56 hence the embracing of steak pie. :)

We are having ours on Hogmanay rather than NYD this year as DH working.

I have smelled tripe once in the 80s s at mygrans house never tasted it but that smell is like death

No sausage of any kind here in Fife my granny would be spinning in her grave at the thought

Stovies is mince or steak. I remember going to exMIL's for dinner & was told it'd be stovies I was horrified when a plate of corned beef hash was put down in front of me.

Oh my Dh is from Clacks she never put kidney in her NY pie

My Mil I meant to say.

East Coast here and have never had a steak pie with links in it.

Though I did have a steak pie with black pudding in it a few months ago and it was delicious.

My grandad used to eat tripe...a throwback to growing up on various farms around Fife. It was hellish 😷

@MrsJayy @Readermumof3, Way back in the late 70s my gran gave me Tripe, I couldn't tell you what it tasted like because it wasn't in my mouth long enough to taste, the texture was vile and I spat it across the room much to the disgust of my gran.

Tripe was a regular meal on my dads side way up until the 80’s then all the old people died and no ones seen hide nor hair of it since.

It’s vile stuff

I saw my mum eat tripe once. Have a vague shuddery memory of it floating in a bowl of water before cooking.

We had it every new year (and at times during the year) though I never ever tried it. I think it was soaked in water and then cooked in milk with salt and lots of pepper? The recipe will die with my DM I think. None of us has ever tried to get that one from her.

I've just picked up my butchers steak pie (no links!).

Dh grew up near Edinburgh and was baffled by me suggesting he might want steak pie for New Year.
Do you think it might be quite a modern thing? He has been down here for 25 years!
In laws in Aberdeen and Elgin are oblivious too.

I'm originally from Edinburgh and it wasn't a thing when I was growing up in 70s. DH from the Borders and very much a thing there when he was growing up.

Well, I say that but his family came from Glasgow area originally so maybe they brought that with them?

I was born in the 60s and probably from age 6 I can remember having steak pie for NYD.

North East here, never had sausages in a steak pie, nor heard of the tradition of having it at New Year. We always had roast beef on NYD.

We’re having steak pie but my mum thinks it’s a relatively new thing and she/we have lived in many different parts of Scotland. We’d normally have roast beef but often have that on Hogmanay now.

How exactly does the recipe go for steak pie with link sausage? Cook them beforehand or raw into the pie and what’s the ratio of steak meat to sausage? I think beef chipolatas would be great in a pie.
