I never put any thought in to what butteries were made from but the salted taste and texture was absolutely delicious and plenty a lunch-money coin was spent on them! Ironically the reason I wouldn't eat them now that I do think about ingredients is all the flour.
Another favourite from that era was a scotch beef pie that contained a layer of mashed potato and a small clump of baked beans on top of that.
- arethuza 12y agoI had a traumatic incident with scotch beef pies in my teens - never touched one since.
- smcl 12y agoYou mean just a Scotch Pie? I've never been clear on what was inside them, I just remember eating them at Pittodrie as a kid and then being dubious about them as I grew up. Plain old Steak Pie (i.e. what those who didn't grow up in Scotland would probably interpret "scotch beef pie" as) though are fine and I miss them dearly - as do my fellow expats who are from NZ, they've got a bit of a pie culture too as I understand.
- arethuza 12y agoThe "traumatic incident" with pies was seeing them being made commercially!
- frou_dh 12y agoGood point. I was probably a bit optimistic in remembering them as plain beef!
