Really sorry I haven't posted a recipe yet (jist too busy currently). Btw I always rated my pies as follows

- crust - is it moist especially on the bottom as we all know despite the pie being a short crust we don't want a classic flakey crust and that's where lard comes in a s great shortening - second best option is margarine.

- does the filling taste right and that means good mix of peppdr, salt, nutmeg, soy or Worcestershire

- does the filling have good gravy consistency and content. This is achieved by adding flour or sometkmrs cornstarch.

This looks really good amd makong me crave a pie right now !
