For the past 4 years I've worked in Preston and the other day mentioned loose potato pie - to blank stares and puzzled expressions.

The team I work with are predominantly from the Preston /Chorley area but even 2 people who live in Darwen and Guide had never heard of it.

We then got into a discussion that a pie was only a pie if encased in pastry although Shepherds Pie, Cottage pie and Fish Pie would seem to buck this theory

People then claimed loose potato pie is hotpot although I would argue potato pie is made with beef and hotpot with lamb

Is scouse the same as loose potato pie?

What do these people eat when they go to a "do" if spud pie is not available!!!

Similarly dabs appears to be a very localised name for potato in batter with them being known as Scollops out Preston way and "Muffins" in Edenfield area

anybody else aware of name of food variations
