Have you tried Lancashire Hot Pot?

Have narry a clue on that one.

Being  a  Lancastrian  of course  I  have!  

Any one going to enlighten us?  Or must I use the inter webs.

It's a stew/ casserole  of diced lamb onion carrots potatoes  sliced into scallops in a gravy with a dash  of  red wine and  sometimes  Worcester  sauce

Now that sounds worthwhile.  A hot Pot to me is a stew, of what ever mark.   Your dish could almost be a shepherds pie without the smashed on top, just in the gravy.

Shepherd's Pie is made with minced lamb.

Like any good stew, this Lanc' Hot Pot.  Thanks for the lesson.

D'Amelie I think you'll  like Lancashire  hot pot.Quite easy  to  find  the  ingredients  and make  too

Are either of these foods mentioned above made with mutton?

Is there a difference between an Irish stew and a British stew?

When I was a wee nipper, granny said an Irish Stew was a "mulligan stew," and it had pretty much what ever you had on hand.  Does that track with you, Chrissy?

That does make sense.

My Aunt Helen called it a goulash.  Hers was usually tomato based sauce with mixed veggies, mince, noodles and beans.  Almost a ->-bleeped-<-ioli. 

Mom's Mulligan was potatoes, brown gravy, carrots, stewing meat - chunky and rich.

Memory:  Granddad said any of those dishes were "Hobo" stews.  A favorite, nonetheless.

He was a short and feisty 2nd gen English (Leicestershire) man.  Ships carpenter during the War, but lifetime railroad afficionado and modeler.

Reminds me of Dinty Moore brand canned beef stew.

Didn't mind Dinty 40 years ago.  Ate a lot of it on the road.  Can't get it past my nose these days.

Original ingredients seem to be a stew made out mutton and oysters.
Mutton comes from older sheep which gives it more taste and fat than lamb.
