Hello Ian and others reading FOOD ..oooh yummie!

  Funny thing, as I got your Lancastershire Hot Pot recipe., Some
TV programme, was showing cooking, and the cook said he was making
a veggie pie, as he used, the same method you describe.
 
A nice deep pan, lined with a pastry dough, then that first layer
< as you mention> of potatoes.   I guess another observation
by you also holds true, that in different areas, the same or near
same type of dish, has perhaps another name.

I too, also add that slice of bacon to some meats while cooking.

Aaah the peasant's pie.

 Thats what I do, sometimes chopping fine, and as for stew, I
like most types.

Me too... now I am even getting emails from names from school
days and the old neighbourhood in Toronto.

YES !  Me too ... so I can really relate.   Not only on the job
but part time with the TV as well radio, and I really enjoyed
those I interviewed.   I only hope I asked them the questions
many listeners and viewers wanted to hear answered, rather then
the usual run of the mill stuff.

  Right on there Ian.    But then where there is smoke there is
fire, and no problem looking to see if there are anything in truth
by applying Wikipedia.    Besides on Wikipedia, they seem to be
debating all the time, so it changes, and the problem is a few
get innvloved there to cloud and impair getting the real story
on a subject.

I only mentioned it, due to others bring up the same info as
seen on Wikipedia.   They were more straight and direct and
speak with authority, which I appreciate better then someone
glossing it over.

Cropped here Ian's re-quote of my full posting ...
