My steak pie

Here it is. The photie doesn't do it justice since you can't appreciate just how bloody huge it was without something to give it perspective. I'll bear that in mind for the pie I'm planning to make for Easter.

I enjoy cooking because I can think about the chemistry that's involved, sad old bastard that I am.

On a related theme I've just been listening to Dr Karl's BBC Radio 5 science phone-in programme. Somebody asked if spinach contributed much to muscle growth, as suggested by the Popeye cartoons. Although spinach and other leafy green vegetables are often quoted as sources of iron it turns out that the iron is pretty useless as it is in the ferric form (oxidation state +3). We need iron in the ferrous form (oxidation state +2), and meat is the best source of that. That was news to me. Spinach is still a good source of other valuable nutrients.

Please give me a recipe for pork pies Norrie. As a student doing an industrial placement job with a pharmaceutical company I was told by a salivating biochemist that the pork pie I was eating for lunch looked like "concentrated essence of delight". I had to agree.

I'd also like to know how to make stovies.
