No meaningful content, although I'm sure well-intentioned...:) Her Pegship 21:23, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Whew. Someone replaced the rant with actual information. Order restored. Rock on. Her Pegship 15:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

am curious - shouldnt the recipe read OX kidney rather than beef kidney????? gwen manickam

I don't see what difference it would make if you used kidneys from oxen, bulls or cows. It's still a bovine renal organ. When a bull becomes an ox, it doesn't lose its kidneys. Tubezone 18:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant!

At some time, this article was latered to replace 'beef kidney" with "lamb or pig kidney". I find this strange as a) I always use beef kidney and b) the recipe linked to also specifies beef kidney. I plan to change it unless anyone has a good reason not to. 139.163.138.12 06:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To me it's always been labelled beef or OX kidney they're the best for smoothness of texture and flavour, that said I now live in Finland and its hard to get any of those so you have to use pig (if you're lucky lamb), OK the taste and texture is not quite as nice, but we have to make do with what we can get.

I just made one, I have a couple of pictures, I think a lot better than the current one, that said they are not really that great, but maybe we could use them, I'll post anyway. --Hellahulla 19:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative to the previous, can't decide which I prefer
My grub I just ate, was very nice I have to admit, potatoes were just perfect. The veg is mixed peas, sweetcorn and bell pepper, from a bag (I know shame on me)

I've proposed that Steak and kidney pudding be merged to this article.

It's with something of a heavy heart... where I live (Glasgow) "Steak and kidney pudding" tends to be the common term. And I gather pies and puds are different. However... I don't feel that the differences are sufficient to justify two separate articles - the only difference seems to be that puds are made with suet. This article ("pie") seems to be the more exhaustive article, and already includes mention of puds. TFOWR 08:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - I don't believe there is sufficient difference to merit separate articles. --HighKing (talk) 09:46, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose They are different things. One is baked the other steamed and the pudding (steamed) also uses suet. --Snowded ^TALK 12:58, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - they are not the same things, per Snowded - and anyway, there is a case for a merger the other way as the pie is merely a new-fangled substitute for the good old pudding (the suet originally being taken off the kidneys). ;-) Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:21, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom, the differences are not sufficient to justify two separate articles.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:42, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose They are very, very different things: The whole suet thing is a red herring - pastry for savoury dishes is often made with suet, and pudding mix can quite happily be made with other fat. As pointed out the real difference is that puddings are steamed and pies baked.--DickyP (talk) 11:28, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
