Dengie Pie

[FullCircle]

Has anyone got an authentic recipe for Dengie Pie?
Its for someone who used to be located round these parts.

I have no clue what it is!

Well I've heard of it but no ideas.

You could try the gourmet food shop at Mayflower Nursery signposted off the Bradwell Road just east of Mayland.

That link doesn't point to it try this - still no recipe but a source maybe.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but I have heard of Burnham sea pie.
This originated in the days when farm workers were given their breakfast in the farmhouse but were expected to bring something to add to the stewpot. So the "recipe" changed daily and according to the season, but probably included rabbit, hare, eel, pheasant, oysters, turnip, carrot etc. Probably some road kill too, if that existed pre motor car.
Chuck it all in the pot and simmer for a few weeks.

Sex and the Dengie

Oh dear, it seems during a casual surf that Dengie Pie might be a euphemism for, err, matters of the flesh.

And from there, I discovered the epic 'Is it 'cos I is Blackwater'
