  Mince Beef Pasty & Chips

TS2B0263.JPGI'm an incredibly fussy eater.Add to this fact I'm Scottish and you may understand the changes I have had to make since living in Japan.
A funny quip I once heard was

Man - "Oh Fried Breakfast ! Lots of Cholesterol !"
Foreign Woman - "What's that ?"
Man -"Its what Scottish people eat."

Although my diet has chnaged alot, sometimes I do year some "Scottish cooking" i.e. Cholesterol. Pies and pasties are extremely rare in Japan so I resorted to making my own with some frozen pastry sheets and my "secret recipe" minced beef.Turned out very nicely, served with chips and lashings of vinegar I was transported back to the land of deep fried pizzas, albiet momentarily. I had a fellow English & Australian friend have a sample as they too missed pasties n pies. Well recieved they joked I should go into business.

I cant see the Japanese taking to the Scotch Pie with much enthusiasm though.
