About this dish

Pie and mash is a British working-class food, originating in the docks of London, considered "a Cockney classic". It typically consists of a minced beef pie (formerly also eel pie) served with mashed potato and a parsley sauce known as liquor, with malt vinegar or non-brewed condiment (similar to vinegar) as a condiment. Pie and mash shops have been in London since the 19th century and are still common in East and South London, as well as many parts of Kent and Essex.
