For those who don't know the tradition, at <a href="http://armentspieandmash.com" rel="nofollow">Arments</a> we cover our pie and mash in green liquor(which is not got any alcohol) it is a great dressing for this traditional English meal.

However, when I moved to London I discovered that the traditional London pie and mash shop would shun gravy in favour of a liquor (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_and_mash and http://www.manze.co.uk/aboutOurFood.html), or a weird thin white sauce full of parsley. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, with the economy how it is, this pie shop is branching out to include gravy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-75009232099437234012009-02-02T19:36:00.000+00:002009-02-02T19:36:00.000+00:00They used to advertise tomatoes in Tesco with the ...They used to advertise tomatoes in Tesco with the the sticker "As seen on TV".
