I’ve made for several years in a row for New Year’s Eve. It’s so festive. Thank you, Kathleen!

I love that Marion! My Grandmother always let me put a leftover roast in the grinder and turn the handle for a hash dish. I felt so important! Those comfort food meals were simple and delicious. I love the “SeePie”! I had one too called Sh_t in a pot. The kids loved that one! LOL, Hopefully, some of our friends here will comment on their family cake experiences!

Thanks for your reply Julie, I wonder if anyone else remembers Champaine Cake made with layers of pastry with pink icing ? Her other favourite was Napolitan Cake, this cake had one layer of pastry through the middle. Grandma was a great cook, and always used lots of spices,, ginger,cinnamon, nutmeg, etc and every meat dish had mixed seasoning added,, a stew always had dumplings on top, “whats for dinner?” and she would say “wait and see pie” then as she took it out of her big wood stove oven she say “SeePie”. —yes that recipe is on google !!! how interesting,, Her Shepherds Pie was not made with “ground lamb” – (mince meat) but made with “ground left over Roast Lamb” which is cooked meat,,
a completely different texture and taste, and delicious,, we all had a meat mincer in our kitchen then,,

Hi Marion! I bet the pink iced cakes were so pretty. I’ve found that almost every country has its version of a particular recipe or they have the name of a recipe that’s made totally different. I’ve had so much fun learning the history of recipes in their different cultures/countries. One thing I’ve also learned is not to say something originated somewhere. That always comes back to bite.

Thank you, Michelle!

Thank you! We really enjoy this one.

I love the way you roll, Linda! Thank you!
