That's pretty much what I did yesterday. It didn't matter that it was 8:30am ... I had the beef/potato/mushroom/scallion empanadas for breakfast.

Now that I think about it, those were more like incorrectly seasoned cornish pasties. Which I also like. :)

I suppose the cherry pie empanadas weren't quite authentic either. But the carnitas empanadas were.

We could totally build zooer's empanada wall, but I tend to feed anyone who comes to my house anyway.

You're eating the pasties for breakfast? Wasn't she mad when she had to get up and get dressed?

Here in austinyou can find just about anything in an empanada. I've also discovered that I like traditional breakfast foods for dinner, and don't mind having dinner foods as my first meal of the day.

The person who taught me how to make Cornish pasties said that she once had a Welshwoman roundly cuss her out for mispronouncing the name of her beloved dish.

The last time I was down in Austin/San Antonio I had breakfast tacos the week I was there.  Every morning.  It was glorious.  

 

Great, I want good breakfast tacos now.

How should one pronounce 'pasties' to not offend the Welsh?

[#] Thu Mar 29 2018 10:06:16 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar

It's pronounced "paa-steez" , not "pay-steez"

Ah, that is how I pronounce it anyway.


Because I learned to eat these up in the UP of Michigan, where they pronounce such things more carefully, I suppose.

This past weekend I attempted to make Shepherd's Pie and I totally f***ed it up. It had all the major ingredients and the textures were fine but the flavor of the "gravy" was completely wrong.

What's supposed to go into a Shepherd's Pie (or "cottage pie" if you're pedantic about beef vs. lamb) to give it that signature tangy/savory flavor?

The major ingredients I used were ground beef and mixed frozen vegetables for the bottom layer, which was fine, and a layer of homemade mashed potatoes sprinkled with some cheddar cheese, which was also fine. The "gravy" was mainly tomato paste and worcestershire (I could tell you that the tomato paste was actually ketchup, but I'd be so ashamed that I'd have to kill myself) and it was definitely too sweet and not tangy/savory enough.

I don't really make gravy, but I cook the meat with onion, garlic, mrs dash, some salt(you can totally use worchestershire instead of salt)

worchestershire appears to be the standard. this is an anglo-irish dish, after all. Ditch the ketchup and the tomato and try again?
