During some exam preparation with a student yesterday morning:

Me: 'Right, we've done an hour and a half. Do you fancy a pie break?'
Pupil: 'Oooh yes. I normally don't eat pies but yours looks amazing.'

After handing pupil a slice of Indian Potato pie..

Pupil: 'This tastes amazing. What sort of meat is it?'
Me: 'There isn't any meat in it.'
Pupil: 'So what's the filling made from?'
Me: 'Vegetables.'
Pupil: 'I don't like vegetables but this is amazing. I'm going to text a picture of this to my mum, she won't believe that I've eaten some vegetables.'

After some silence while we ate our pie slices.

Pupil: 'Have you got the recipe for the pie? I want to have this again. I'll get my mum to make it.'
Me: 'I anticipated that you'd ask that question. Here's one that I printed earlier.'
Pupil: 'Thanks sir!'

Exam Preparation 2:
Pupil: 'Now that I have eaten so much of your wonderful pie(s), how do I get myself all svelte (it's a language exam ... ;)) and strong like what you are, Sir ? (that's why he's doing the revision ... :rolleyes:)
Vern: :bicycle:, my boy, :bicycle: !

FYI my recent clients have all been stick thin girls. They have been fattened up over the past fortnight with chocolate cake, lemon drizzle cake and pie.

The recipe is from the BBC website http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1039649/indian-potato-pie

I have converted it to a vegan pie rather than a vegetarian pie by using olive oil instead of melted butter.

I also leave out the chopped coriander and chilli flakes but add a generous teaspoonful of coarse ground black pepper.

Do check the seasoning of the potato/sweet potato mash - you might need to add some salt.

It's a reliable recipe that delivers a high quality pie munching experience.

I'm partial to shortcrust, so might try it with that.

OH: That's insane!
Me: May I quote my self?
OH: I see your point.
