Background
Wording from the Petition:
..."It’s time we stood up and talked with pride about our traditional food - and there’s nothing more Cockney than Pie’n’Mash.
Whether you have a connection with the culture of ‘non-posh Londoners’ (either first generation, or through your parents, grandparents, and beyond), or just support the need to maintain traditions and local cultures, or just love some proper grub, this is the first step for the UK to celebrate a unique part of our history.
Pie’n’Mash has a long history but it ain’t a thing of the past. This would be a great way to show its continued importance to Cockneys, new and old, to the UK as whole, and boost its global recognition.
WHAT IS
PIE 'n' MASH?
The traditional Pie’n’Mash dish consists of a savoury pie filled with minced beef, mashed potatoes, served with a parsley liquor, which can also be accompanied by stewed or jellied eels.
