Pie, mash, liquor, and mushies are classic components of a traditional British dish known as “Pie and Mash.” Here’s a quick rundown of each component:
1. **Pie**: Typically a savory meat pie, often with fillings like minced beef, lamb, or steak and kidney. The pie is usually encased in a shortcrust pastry.
2. **Mash**: Creamy mashed potatoes that accompany the pie. It’s often made with butter, milk, and sometimes a bit of cream.
3. **Liquor**: This refers to a parsley sauce, not alcoholic. It’s a smooth, green sauce made from parsley, butter, and sometimes flour.
4. **Mushies**: Short for mushrooms, though they can also refer to “mush” as in mashed potato. If it’s mushrooms, they’re often sautéed or served alongside the pie.
