I know, it's a good job I got Jo and Mark to check over the odd few lines I put in the e-mail.

 

They changed most of that too 

 

See, I know what I want to say most of the time but sometimes I can't put it into proper words when I type.  I'm better saying out loud with my gob, even though that gets me in to trouble at times    

I get into trouble with both ....so don't fret

Heat the stock and pour in. Cover and bake in a moderate oven, 400F, 200C or gas mark 6 for 1 ž hours. Take off the lid and cook for a further 20 to 30 minutes to brown the potatoes.

Cumberland Hot Pot

2 lb potatoes
two large carrots
Âū lb shin beef
one large onion
One black pudding
Âū pt hot stock
Seasoning

Peel and slice the vegetables. Trim the beef and cut up with the black pudding. Put all the ingredients into a casserole dish and season to taste. Ensure that the top layer is of sliced potato. Cover and bake in a moderate oven, 350F, 180C or gas mark 4 for one and a quarter hours, then remove lid and cook a further 30 minutes or until the top has browned. Add more liquid if the dish appears to be drying up. An alternate method of cooking is for the dish to be baked for 1 Âū hours with lid, then the top browned under a hot grill.

This tasty dish is one of those that have been popular in Cumbria for almost two hundred years, being adapted slightly by each generation and still enjoyed in many homes”.

this isn't a stew though...tis strange, it's thick gravy. Lots eat it with red cabbage and crusty bread, I find bread and potatoes too filling, lie I said we half potatoes here and that's how everyone else makes it I know until you buy it in a pub 

 

sounds , and looks yummy
