Nice work Sumbits! That's a bingo! You have such a lovely pie-ness.
mel said:Thanks WM!!! This is the aftermath of the pie throwdown.. i dont think i want to get up in the morning to clean
How the hell did you make all that mess! I mean your pies look OK (alright the chocolate one looks a little better than ok) but still, ALL THAT MESS FOR TWO PIES?
Should be ashamed of yourself...
My mangina is doing a little dance...
In a pie?

Thanks 5o. Seeing your pie-ness in this thread was quite surprising! Not too shabby.
Bouty's Pie
Pie is hard. Never made one. Ripped a bunch of crusts apart just tryin to unroll em.
I did a rip off of maybe like a scotch minced pie, about a pound and a half plus mix of pork and lamb in the Dutch oven. Browned then simmered in some beer, added minced white onion,celery,mushrooms,and garlic at different times. Spices are a cooked in ras el hanout sorta Moroccan recipe peppercorn,turmeric,salt, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves mix. Used a homegrown Chocolate and White Habanero mix for spice. Thickened the mix up with some more beer mixed with the gravy flour then put in the oven for around 40 min.
A cookin' pic
Outta the oven
This other pic. Got the bottom crust out, the pie fillin' had some "flow" goin though. Saucy!
Closer now!
Was pretty good! Was cool to try one out, different sorta dish than we usually make here. Tasted sorta curryish- very savory, very hot with around a tablespoon and a half ground choco and white hab.
Good luck everybody, cool seein what you're eatin'... Hope to see somemore entries sneak in!
