   Understood. Works most of the time.   
      
   Luckily or unluckily, some food is better than others.   
      
   This isn't:   
      
   Stovies   
   cat: main, potatoes, onions, left-over meat   
   Serves: 4   
      
   2 oz beef dripping (sunflower oil may be substituted)   
   2 md onion, finely chopped   
   4 Tb good gravy (water may be substituted)   
   2 lb peeled and roughly sliced potatoes   
   leftover roast beef, chopped   
   salt & pepper   
   parsley, chopped   
      
   In the past when money and food were in short supply Scots knew how   
   to make the most of their meagre resources. Stovies are a good example   
   of a peasant dish that combined any leftover meat with plenty of   
   potatoes, the mainstay of the crofter diet in the last century. Being   
   mainly potato it provided energy in the form of starch and bulk to   
   fill empty stomachs. Despite the dishes "poor" origins it is very   
   tasty, filling and often served with oatcakes at ceilidhs (country   
   dances) and evening wedding receptions.   
      
   Wilt the onions in the dripping. Add the potatoes and mix well.   
   Cover the pot and cook for 10 min, stirring occasionally to   
   prevent sticking. The gravy, meat, salt, and pepper should now   
   be mixed in. Again cover the pot and cook slowly until the thin   
   potatoes are mushy and the thicker cut ones soft - an hour should   
   be sufficient (this part of the cooking can be done in a Pyrex   
   dish in the oven, which will give a delightfully browned and   
   crunchy topping). The dish should be garnished with the parsley   
   and served with oatcakes and a glass of milk.
