Oh, that is a pie with a difference and sounds yummy!

If only they had proper sausages and sausage meat over here. That is one of the things that I still miss.

I might try it with what goes by the name of sausage meat (finely ground pork) that is packaged up in sausage-like wrapping.

Still have a bit of Sage and Onion stuffing mix in the freezer - imagine! they don't have stuffing mixes over here either! I could - and have - made it up from scratch a couple of times.

Thanks for the recipe, Linda, I think that would be nice to serve on a buffet as well as a sit-down meal.

My son Paul is a good cook and he will try anything Linda. Mind you when he is short of ingridients he pops home and raids my kitchen. He does replace them when he goes shopping.
