The story behind this recipe
Was rather tipsy in Newquay Cornwall and stumbled into a tiny pub. It was getting late and the pub owner offered to make me something that would stick to my skinny bones. He invited me to help make the pie in a kitchen no bigger than a bathroom, he pulled out some leftover chicken from Sunday carvery and the result was chicken and mushroom pie.
