1. beer.
2. a small salad, because shepherd's pie is kind of rich and filling
3. a light salad for example a lettuce mix
4. A good green salad-old fashioned tossed salad, with lots of veggies- tomatoes, cukes, onions, carrots, lettuce, good croutons, and a ranch dressing sound great!
5. green salad and fresh crusty bread. Nice glass of wine.
6. i would have a red leaf salad with extra fixings available and some rolls...
7. Oh just a green salad and some good baked crusty bread with lots of butter. Shepards pie is very filling so you can almost serve it with just the bread on the side.
8. This is a traditional British recipe, and when we were in London, it was mainly served with French Fries. If you have problems with 2 types of potatoes at the same meal, you might look at what veggies are not in the pie. I really like.... ORANGE ORIENTAL VEGETABLES Cook zucchini, yellow squash, & carrots separately until tender. (usually 15 min. in a steamer) Arrange together & pour on the sauce made of: ½ c. sugar 4 tsp. cornstarch 1 1/3 c. orange juice Cook sauce till thick & tender. Heat veggies & sauce before serving together.
9. SYROSYE (cherry pottage) The Modern Version: 2 lbs ripe red cherries 1 1/2 cups white wine 3/4 cup sugar 4 Tbsp butter 1 cup breadcrumbs pinch of salt garnish: flower heads of clove pinks (optional) sugar, preferably raw sugar if available Wash the cherries and remove the stems and stones. Puree the fruit in a blender with 1/2 cup of the wine and half the sugar. Add a little more wine as needed to get a smooth puree. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the fruit puree, breadcrumbs, remaining wine, remaining sugar, and salt. Simmer, stirring often, until the puree is very thick. Pour into a serving bowl, cover, and let cool. The cherry pottage should be the consistency of a thick apple sauce. Refridgerate until served. Before serving, decorate the edge of the bowl with the clove pinks, if desired. Sprinkle the sugar over the dish.
10. A salad and/or biscuits go good with shepherds pie, they go with everything!
11. Milkshake maybe...
12. Hot biscuit ! Easy Biscuit Mixture Use as you would a baking mix. The possibilities are endless! INGREDIENTS 10 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup baking powder 1/4 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons salt 2 cups shortening DIRECTIONS In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks
13. Greens in any form or manner, and a very good coarse bread. A light dessert, like cheese and fruits, or pears stewed in wine.
14. I would say a nice sourdough bread maybe with galic butter and chesse.
15. I would suggest some chantenay carrots, very attractive and flavoursome. Along with some purple sprouting brocolli you are sure to impress!
