For variation substitute bacon and parsley for crab and mix some Wasabi with the mayo. Fantastic. Signed Rosie.

As someone who grew up in Scotland where the French influence of the Jacobites is still prominent, allspice is a standard spice on beef.I keep the chuck steak in one piece then I pound in the spices before grinding along with 2oz of Beef Kidney suet ground Pork. I also use shallots and some caramelized onions and make my own rough-puff pastry. Make a hole the size of a quarter in the top crust and ten minutes into cooking time add a little beef broth. Serve with thickened onion gravy if you prefer it moist, but a Tourtier is meant to be served with good crusty bread and Branston or piccalili. Bon apetite'.
