Two requests for the real Lancashire Hot-Pot came in to the Woman's Page and many were the inquiries that went out from the department until Mrs. Pepys began to think that the recipe was 2 trade secret. Finally, however, some one said "They have such wonderful English dishes at. Sheperd's Cafe and everything tastes so good there that if you can get their rule it's bound to be good," We followed up that clue at once and here's the result, kindly given by Mr. Shepherd.
Shepherd's Lancashire Hot-Pot 1 Ib. potatoes 3 Ibs. breast of lamb 1/2 Ib. sliced onions Salt and pepper to taste Flavoured with Worcestershire and tomato sauce The ingredients should be placed in an earthenware dish, first the onions, then the lamb, and the potatoes on top. Put a little water in the bottom of the dish and renew if necessary. Bake three hours and a half, not a minute less! To make the dish ideal from 6 to 12 oysters should be added.
