Not cooked long enough, turn the temperature down and leave it longer. Also if you cover it for teh first 3/4 of teh cooking trime it will help 'steam' the spuds. Its also best using a powdery spud like a King edward.

Not really the weather to have the oven on all day

Parma Ham and melon, with a side salad for me, and fruit for afters

The old world coming to the rescue of the new

Starving Canadian will trade t-bone steaks for suet

It would make a good headline for the Observer

Re: Lancashire hot pot ....

Can you believe it .... not a shred of suet to be had in the city!!!!!!!!!!! What a culinary wasteland we are. Well, I have the lamb chops, and the spuds, and the onions ..... if I like this, I may attempt a Canadian hot pot, using moose meat.

Wild meat doesn't have the fat needed to baste the spuds and onions.
Stick with the lamb chops and don't trim the fat off.
A suet crust on top is not the traditional way, so you aren't missing anything.

I wouldn't dream of putting a crust on mine Margaret, I just have a ceramic dish about 13" x 10" x 2" deep fill it with layers of meat, onions and spuds add a stock cube, then cover with foil, sorted

I put a crust on mine because I like it that way. No, It's not "traditional" but it's delicious.

Eric, I pity you living in a suet-poor country. There are all those suet puddings, as well, that you're missing out on. Is the steak pudding completely unknown in Canada?

Sad to say, the steak pud is largely unknown .... tried asking my friends, and the response is a blank look or, "do people in England really eat that"???? Same with black puddings and tripe. We used to have a Marks and Spencer's store in town, and you could get cans of steak and kidney pud there; but they mostly sat on the shelves gathering dust.

Re: Lancashire hot pot ....

Eric, similar situation here in California , no suet to be found , just blank looks and does it have an "English name" ? .
Need to check with my Latino/Hispanic neighbours , they seem to use a lot of fat/grease in some of their recipes , they do something called an 'empanada' which is a lot like a cornish pasty so will ask how they do the pastry
Empanada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
