Shepherd's Pie (with beef, though, I only like lamb in gyros, and only then when it's a blend with beef), minced meat pies, good chicken pot pie, and Yorkshire puddings are all great. Bangers and mash with the right sausage is great. Fish and Chips are generally great but the flavor and texture of the batter can vary significantly.

(trivia: a Shepard's pie with beef is technically called a "cottage" pie!)

Yeah, I know what true shepherd's pie is made of thanks to Denis Leary.

If you like Yorkshire pudding, try toad in the hole.

I made bangers and mash this evening, and put it into a large Yorkshire pud.

I don't know if it would be named differently.

That is a thing of beauty. Bring the gravy boat to the table so that you can top it up to the brim, heaven.

Yorkshire pudding is fine, but Pomeranian pudding is really superior.

Looked it up, I am intrigued.

I had a homemade vegan shepard's pie at a coworker's house (she lived in the US, but from the UK) and it was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time.

If you ever make one, a good way to get the lentils or tvp tasting beefy is mixing some marmite and tamari sauce into it.

Gyros like kebabs right? That's where I normally prefer lamb too tbh.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

no, I mean Greek gyros, in pita bread.

Though perhaps you meant the Turkish doner kebabs

It's not really that I like lamb in a gyro, it's that when it's a blend of beef and lamb I can't really taste the lamb. I just really don't like lamb meat. I'll take a fully beef gyro over a blended meat any day.
