Real stovies


Maple Leaf

Recommended Posts

Made some yesterday with Lorne Sausage.............delicious and had some on a roll at lunchtime today at work (cold). Usually use sausages though. Apparently, traditionally whatever was left on the stove after the main meal of the day was what was used with the onions, leek and tatties. Hence the word 'stovies'.

Corned Beef Onions and a wee Oxo from this house

 

I bought Stovies from a burger van a while back  and when I looked in the tub there was square sausage in it, I was fuming  and felt a tad cheated to say the least 

My mum used to add that too.

I was introduced to haggis stovies a few years back. They were a revelation. Any sort of stovies are great though.

There used to be a boozer on the Royal Mile called Cheers, late 80s/early 90s sort of time, they sold bowls of Haggis stovies that were magic. First time Id heard of them.

C’mon mods!

There has to be some sort of forum rule against typing this sort of thing.

Could be worse, I could add water to my cornflakes.

I remember Cheers. I think it was near (or next door to) a Cafe bar called Cafe Ca Va?  Does that ring a bell with you?

 

The guy who owned Cheers with his wife eventually bought Bridies bar at the West Port.  His name evades me right now.

As said earlier, traditionally any leftovers from Sunday lunch mixed together (yes including chicken) is stovies.  Most prefer beef but, the confusion with cornedBEEF hash is its still beef hence the reason some call it stovies, some call it cornedbeef hash.  Me, if it’s cornedbeef then that’s hash but, each to their own.

 

p.s. I used to run a catering business and sold stovies, I’ve had this conversation many times.

 

I used to use topside of beef with a dry rub of smoked paprika, brown sugar and salt all rubbed over the beef and, left to marinade in a bag in the fridge for 2 days before being cooked in a slow cooker.  I then shredded and mixed the beef with potatoes that were pre baked and caramelised onion.  I used to give out tasters and I remember a woman saying that they were not as good as her nans which were made with sausage meat......ffs I was fuming, sausage meat V’s topside of beef.. ?

Try it and let me know how it goes....if you haven’t got a slow cooker stick it in a carorol dish at 100 degrees for about 6-8 hours

Is that the laundrette at the wee roundabout up from the Golden Rule?

An onion, Sliced sausage and corned beef with a table spoon of Bisto Gravy chucked in from the outset. I’m now gagging to have this wonderful delicacy for my tea with some puff pastry on top. Oh, and a wee Stovies sandwich goes down exceptionally well too. Mmmmmmmm.

Worst I’ve seen/tasted was vodka with cold Heinz tomato soup.

 

New year party when all the mixers had ran out.  :facepalm:

My grandad had a dipso pal who used to fry his eggs in gin of a breakfast time.

 

I once had rocket fuel blue label Smirnoff. Too hefty to drink straight but went not too bad mixed with milk.

I remember the Blue Label Smirnoff too.  There was also a green label, but not easy to get.

 

Probably just as well.
