My great great grandfather, a Methodist, came from England in the 1800's which makes me part English on my fathers side of the family. Truly, I love most everything English and have visited England with my wife some 4 times. Five of my favorite English persons are Sherlock Holmes, Charles Dickens, James Barry who created Peter Pan; A J Cronin who wrote one of my favorite books "The Green Years"'; and James Herriot (Alf wight)- "All Creatures Great And Small"; though, two of these individuals have a Scottish conection as Arthur Canon Doyle wrote about Sherlock Holmes and Alf Wight was born in Scotland! Yet, I consider them all English.a Also, I love English food, one of 3 people that do. This brings us to one of my favorite English pies "Ham and Egg Pie". I also love Steak and Kidney Pie (recipe # 71 and Chicken Pot Pie (recipe # 70. The following recipe "Ham and Egg Pie"; and is a variation of this famous dish.
