Sussex Pie

[Cadiz Seagull]

Fair enough - I presume you can eat it?

yep, and bloody good it was too.

Actually it was probably just a pastie, but you know what it's like, things you remember from way back are always better than things today.

Like scarlet fever, London fog and getting the cane at school

Except that Cornish pasties do not have peppered mince in them, or peas, gravy and carrots.

Exactly.

The most famous of Sussex origin must surely be Bannoffee Pie.

You're right there but Banoffi pie to be true to Jevington.

When I was at Bexhill High School, the canteen used to dish this delicacy that resembled custard.
It was absolutely gopping, I never experienced it anywhere else, so I guess it this would be classed as a Sussex food

I dont know, cant remember Scarlett Fever but I'd rather that than face a spam fritter from back in the day.

What's a tidioggie?

Pretty much a Cornish Pastie, if I remember rightly. Tiddyoggie might even be a Kernow word?

Steak & Kidney Pud too if I remember correctly.

I've had Cornish pasties that have - in Cornwall.

'Hot Sussex Smokie' :

I'm sure I've tried variations of this in other parts of the country but it does get credited to Sussex, and proper lush it is too. Makes a nice starter with brown bread and a crispy green salad. A word of caution - it is surprisingly filling too. For variety and to give it more of a kick I add Dijon mustard to the sauce and a sprinkle of Pimenton smoked paprika to the topping.

1lb filleted naturally smoked haddock
1.5 pints water
2oz butter
2oz flour
4oz cheddar
1 glass white wine (plus 1 for the chef of course)
1 bay leaf
Parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Poach haddock in water plus a bay leaf. Keep the liquid.
Meanwhile in another pan melt butter, add flour and stir to create a roux
Pour 1 pint of the reserved liquid into the roux, simmer for 15 mins. Then add the cheddar, wine and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until smooth.
Flake the haddock and mix into the sauce, put into ramekins, grate parmesan on top. Bake for 10 mins @ 180C

Enjoy!

Under-wired bras, O'hagens Hotdogs, Divalls, a Beano from the pie shop, Electricity House,The Regent, Ice Skating, The Chicken Run and snow drifts above your head........Some things today's yoof don't have.

Divalls is still there, though obviously it's not the same.
I could go for a beano pie right now.

St Luke's infants. Jelly Fluff. Still makes me feel sick. And what kind of power crazed dinner lady is mean to you for not eating your pudding?

 

[BensGrandad]

You're right there but Banoffi pie to be true to Jevington.

Wrong spelling it is Bannoffee Pie and as you say originates from the Hungry Monk restaurant in Jevington.

 

[Gullys Cats]

Really enjoyed this culinary delight last night. What other delicacies are there that are unique to Sussex?

Whats in it?

 

[Vegas Seagull]

bannana it is then.....

Sussex Pond Pudding is probably the only one. Whole lemon in the middle, lovely but too tricky to do well to be ubiquitous

 

[Norman Potting]

I've had Cornish pasties that have - in Cornwall.

Proper Cornish Pasty should have cubed skirt of beef, potato, swede and seasoning only I think. Any Cornish Seagulls able to enlighten us?

 

[Gwylan]

What about the seven good things of Sussex: Amberley trout, Arundel mullet, Bourne wheatear, , Chichester lobster, Pulborough eel Rye herring and Selsey cockle?

I've never seen a beano outside of Sussex either: you can still get them in the pie shop down Baker St

Wrong spelling it is Bannoffee Pie and as you say originates from the Hungry Monk restaurant in Jevington.

From his website:
'Ian Dowding has worked in the restaurant trade for over forty years. He was the original head chef of The Hungry Monk when it opened in 1968 and went on to open his own restaurant – Quincys – in Seaford in 1988. He is the originator of the now famous Banoffi Pie which was developed at The Hungry Monk in 1971.'

It was obviously good, as I tried at both half-time and after the game to get a special, but was told that the beef was my only option. I got the beef.

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

What about Lardy Cake. That one of our own?

 

[banjo]

Sussex Ponds pudding is another.

 

[gjh1971]

Whats in it?

Peppered mince, peas and carrots
