Butter pies have long been a match day favourite among Preston North End fans until 2007 when providers ceased to trade. With the new providers not offering a butter pie this has caused 2 Preston North End fans to begin a campaign on facebook calling for the return of butter pies to the match day menu. This recipe our version is little dry when compared with some commercially available versions, but we like them a little drier we find the shop bought ones can be far too wet.

Serves: Might serve 4 if you are lucky Time: Altogether about 1 hour http://www.grouprecipes.com/89864/butter-pie-a-potato-and-onion-pie.html This dish was created on a rainy morning in Baltimore using leftover crab meat from the evening before. I was particularly satisfied with this dish and thought I'd share it here. Since the main ingredient, crab, is a favored Maryland staple, I thought I'd give the dish a regional name reflecting it's origin. I'm sure I'm not the first Marylander to serve this breakfast, but I'm probably the first to publically recognize it here. Good eating. http://www.grouprecipes.com/77041/eggs-maryland.html This dish was served in years gone by, in winter, when the farmers slaughtered their pigs. The meat had to be fresh, and the only way to preserve it was in salt. Nowadays, fresh pork is widely available, so it can be made al year round. It is traditional from the region where I live, and in fact, people travel great distances to come and enjoy it in Ponte de lima, where it is particularly famous. Usually served with Arroz de Sarrabulho (a rice dish made amongst other things, with the pig's blood), I prefer to give it a miss and serve it with sautéed or roast potatoes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/69490/rojoes-minhota---try-to-say-it-if-you-are-not-portuguese.html This is a regional favorite of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. http://www.grouprecipes.com/66650/famous-maryland-crab-soup.html This is a Frank Davis recipe so you cna't go wrong with it.
