Where abouts in Britain does Steak and Kidney pie coem from?
Plus as the lower class were allotted the poorer cuts like tough meat and offal like kidney, tripe and other innards, and as it is a longer slow cooked dish, whether it is S&K pie or pudding, it is a peasant dish and has its roots in the olden days as the one person said it was mentioned in Dickens literature, and Sweeney Todd was make pork pies to, but with long pig. Pies and puddings are usually done with the lesser cuts as they have to be cooked a specific way, slow and long, like Lanchashire Hotpot, you use the shoulder chops and stew it to, so real history is a bit hard to pin down. But it was likely first made and eaten around the late 1600 to early 1700’s.
