Shropshire Fidget or Fitchett Pie

This pie was used a great deal in old farmhouses as a supper dish for harvesters. The recipes given here are taken from the cookery book compiled by the Shropshire Women’s Institutes (Brown and Brinnand, Ltd., printers, Shrewsbury, price is.), Mrs. Dale, Fordham and Cardiston W.I., says her recipe is excellent made with chops cut from the scrag end of a neck of mutton. The recipe given by Mrs. Tudor, Weston Rhyn W.I. was her mother’s. Mrs. Wood of the same Institute gives a similar recipe.
