Brother from another mother-ship Meat Pie

Brother from another mother-ship Meat Pie

Let’s talk meat pies. When I was in Leeds for work there was a pie shop called Pieminister. Within that heaven I had a meat pie every afternoon. My all time favorite was “The Mothership” which was any meat pie, with mashed potatoes, minty peas and gravy; in one big delicious pile. I DREAM of these but as I am not from the UK and do not have a Pieminister here so I had to look up the recipe and make them myself. Luckly they’re delightful and provide many amazing meat pie recipes on their blog. Highly suggest a look.
