oiDie,” or Washerman Pie.— I am not prepared to state why this dish is so named, but I know it to be a favourite with us out there, especially where there are “ young mouths ” to fill. Cut your mutton — say two pounds — into convenient pieces ; dust with pepper and salt, and partially l>roil the meat in a frying-pan. Now transfer it to a stewpan, pour on a little water, and let it simmer gently for about twenty minutes. Mash some ])Otatoes — sufficient for the pie-dish you propose using — line the dish with the mash ; put in your meat and gravy ; add two tablespoonfuls of any sauce or ketchup ; fit on a potato crust, paint over with yolk of egg
