Lancashire Hotpot
Lancashire hotpot was originally a staple food from the north of England where wet autumns give way to colder and wetter winters. This dish was thought to have been invented by millworkers at a time when not everyone had an oven at home. People could bring the pre-made dish and put it in the mill’s communal oven and it would be cooked by lunchtime.
The dish is composed of a savory mutton or lamb stew that’s covered with rounds of potato and cooked until steaming hot and golden brown.
