Re: home made cow heal pie
no really it was very good. but I can't think what she put in it apart from the cow heal, when it was cooked my little brother used to suck on the cow's heal to help him with his teething:
unless this was an early form of child cruelty hm I wonder, I thought all the kids had this to eat: |
Re: home made cow heal pie
Had it myself when iwas younger.Loved it,sucked sticky bones the lot.Believe me that gravy does stick to your ribs.Tripe and onion soup as well,great for those freezing winter days.Alas i've had neither since i was a teen & could'nt tell you how to make it.:(

Re: home made cow heal pie
a traditional lancashire dish from ww2 when rations were scarce
here's my interpretation whether it wil be exact i don't know i only made this a couple of times down south to bring in a bit of tradition to theme nights etc. here goes. 1/2 lb cows heels cleaned and scraped 1/2 lb shin beef 1 large onion salt and pepper for the pastry 1/2lb plain flour 1/4lb marge 1/4lb lard 4 tbsp water add the cows heels, beef chopped & onion to a pan of water bring to the boil and simmer for at least 3 hours cover with the pastry and bake for 45 mins (about 180 oC) |
Re: home made cow heal pie
You can buy cow heel on the market on the black pudding stall. My mum still buys it and makes it. She prefers to use Skirt beef but any tough old cut is suitable (Don't use steak as it needs to be tough to survive teh long cooking time, it will become lovely and tender)

Re: home made cow heal pie
think there used to be a chain of shops which sold that stuff , cowheels, tripe , oxtails etc. U C P springs to mind , for some reason seem to remember they had a restaurent/cafe in Blackpool in the 50s , but could be wrong .

Re: home made cow heal pie
I really love blackpudding. I spotted some here once, bought it and then found that it was sweet and had nuts in it. It looks exactly the same but is more like Xmas pud. Such a disappointment.
I donīt remember ever having cow heel pie but tripe was a favourite of mine. Tripe and trotters for tea with chips. Didnīt like it cooked though. |

Will make you big and strong, after all, was it not Desperate Dan who used to gain his strength from this ? :D

Re: home made cow heal pie
Its been boiled and bleached when you buy it, you then cook it a second time (usually in Milk) with onions.
The blackpudding they have at our canteen in a morning is absolutely disgusting. I won't even try it anymore. The 'stickiness' from cowheel comes from the gelatin in the bone and gristle. Its tasty too.. :D |
