Steak And Kidney

[DaisyNonna]

Really fancy making a steak sand kidney pie
Nearest butcher half an hour away
Neither braising steak nor kidney available at nearest supermarket
Has it gone out of fashion?

[SpikeyBush]

at a quarter to midnight even if there was a closer butcher would they be open? How about a cheese and onion pie?

[Jackdaw33]

You need stewing, not braising, steak and lambs' kidney. Good luck on your hunt.

[Buenchico]

A tin of stewed steak, with some red wine added, can sort out the 'steak' part of your problem but the 'kidney' bit might be harder to resolve.

[Jackdaw33]

When I was young, if you bought stewing steak the kidney was thrown in gratis.

[DaisyNonna]

Only steak the supermarket has is frying steak
Tinned steak? No way, even if they stocked it
Not daft enough to make it tonight
Cheese and onion pie? Why?

[SpikeyBush]

Cheese and onion pie? Why?
Simple.
Because it is tasty when there's no meat in the cupboard!

[DaisyNonna]

Don't like them and restricted to very little cheese medically

Will not help you tonight Daisy but Paris have just launched 24hr meat vending machines outside supermarkets
You will need to google "meat vending machine" cannot post link because the papers will not let me copy the link for some reason

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks, the butcher might be cheaper to reach

[TonyV]

Daisy I would have added will it ever come to a town near you if I could have posted link

[DaisyNonna]

Doubt it, not exactly cutting edge here

[TonyV]

No but convenient though

Fray Bentos are good.

[DaisyNonna]

Perhaps
Prefer to cook my meat

[Barsel]

@trt.......Yeah, I've re -discovered Fray Bentos pies,....they do a chicken one, minced beef and Kate + Sidney. Quite acceptable if you cook them right.

Daisy,.I think kidney has gone out of fashion now, sadly.

Morrisons sell kidney separately or mixed with steak for steak/kidney pie. They also deliver in some areas (not mine unfortunately). I too like to cook my own meat until it crumbles...mmmmm

Got loads of sand here Daisy. It wont need salt either.

[Cloverjo]

Steak and kidneys are available in my local supermarket. (South West England).

Joking aside, in a hurry, M&S tinned steak and kidney is perfectly acceptable. We keep a tin in the cupboard for 'emergencies'.
