Steak pie, links or no links?

[SnowDaysAndBadLays]

I'm a links person as it's what I was brought up with, Mum from Ayrshire.
Also what do you serve it with, I do leftover red cabbage from Christmas and greens of some sort, broccoli 🥦 this year, plus extra gravy, but no potatoes which might be controversial.
What do you do?

I'm intrigued as to what links are? In America they're sausages. But I'm guessing it's not that. I know I could Google it...x

Yes they are sausages.

Yes we have links mashed potatoes and Dh has peas and I have mashed turnip (swede) why don't you have potatoes op ?

Ah ha! Awesome. Meat pie plus sausages sounds right up my street! 😄

The sausages were used to pad out the meat i think,but now it is just tradition.

Links are, in fact sausages, beef are traditional in the pie to go with the steak, but it's generally what you were brought up with.

I'm there for it! X

We didn't growing up and I generally don't double carb, except for when I do!
There's naan and rice with our curry tonight.

No links. Absolutely no links. The thought makes me feel ill.

Potatoes are a must. Either mash or baby potatoes. Fried cabbage with plenty of garlic and pepper. Carrots and sometimes tenderstem broccoli.

To be fair I have more turnip than potatoes with it, i am looking forward to it, my gran used to have it on Hogmanay and have everyone round but after she died my mum had it NYD.

Always NYD here.

Yes NYD here too.

We have it on NYD.
Yes to links.

Hang on baby potatoes?
What kind of madness is this?
I accept many people have roasties or mash, but baby potatoes?
It's like when someone told me they made their own pie but used shortcrust pastry.
All the no.

New Years Day here too. No to links
Served with chips and broccoli/cauliflower

I like baby roast potatoes as an alternative to chips

That sounds delicious.

Chips, CHIPS???
Stop it immediately.

No links
Hogmanay - served with mash and mushy peas
Then left overs on the 2nd with chunky chips.
Extra gravy on the side!

No links here. I’ve actually never heard of people having them with their steak pie so you learn something new every day.

We usually just have really buttery mashed potatoes and whatever veg we fancy. I like green veg so cabbage or broccoli or spinach for me, sometimes sprouts if there are leftovers from Christmas. DH and both DC all prefer carrots and youngest DC usually requests sweetcorn too. DH doesn’t like corn but he likes baked beans with his as well.

ETA: NYD here for it too, not Hogmanay. Hogmanay is nibbles and booze for us.

No links. Just steak pie, tatties and vegetables.

It’s delicious with homemade chips. My aunty served it like that.

Mushy peas, beans, spinach.
You heathens.
I need a lie down.

So says the person adding soggy sausages to her steak pie!

Steak pie, no sausages - what's that all about?!? You have sausages a different day.

Pastry, broccoli, carrots and peas with boiled tatties.
