Welcome to a little slice of culinary heaven where we share photos of our favorite dishes, from savory succulent sausages to delicious and delectable desserts. Made it yourself? We'd love to hear your recipe!

Rules:

1. BE KIND

Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.

2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see [email protected]

But what the wonderfully pedantic Elizabeth David is saying is that this was a common term, even though etymologically incorrect because language evolves, and now it only exists in this form in Guernsey and the U.S.

Her book is fantastic if you are a bread geek, maybe even if you aren't , or you're looking for interesting, often forgotten local breads.

Yeah I have no problem with it being a common term, I just feel the need to point out it's wrong hah. People say wrong things all the time colloquially, but they know it's wrong.

Calling a cottage pie a shepherd's pie is worse though, along with calling a wind turbine a windmill.

I will make a Windmill Pie and post it tomorrow. It will be very traditional with steak, lamb, kidney, and plenty of wind (I had beans today).

I'm all for that. Make the cheese look like solar panels for added effect.
