Scottish Pie

**PIE CRUST (2 crust 9" pie)**

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
6 Tablespoons ice water
Optional: dash of rosemary

Combine salt, rosemary (if added), & flour into mixing bowl. Cut shortening into mixture using pastry cutter until particles are about pea sized. Add ice water gradually (a few drops from a teaspoon at a time) while mixing...toss with a fork very lightly to distribute water evenly among the particles. Tip mixing bowl onto its side and press dough gently into a shape that can easily be picked up in the hands. Do not overhandle the dough once water has been added!

Roll dough into ball, cut in two, one portion slightly larger than the other. Place large half on a lightly floured cutting board, and shape into a flat disc. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into what you will use for your bottom crust. Lay into buttered 9" pie pan, trim edges.

Do the same thing with the dough for the top crust, but save raw crust on the cutting board until filling is made.

**FILLING**:

1 1/2 cups diced, boiled potatoes
1/2 lb browned ground beef
1/2 cup corn
1/2 cup peas
1/3 cup boiled barley
1/2 shot whiskey (I use a good single malt)
1 can condensed beef vegetable soup (Campbell's of course)

Mix filling ingredients together in a large skillet and heat (do not add water to the soup!). Spoon filling into bottom crust until pie pan is filled. Place top crust over filling, and pinch edges until crusts are joined.

Cut three vent holes in top of pie. Bake at 400 until top crust is golden brown. (If you like, you can brush the top of the pie with melted butter every five minutes for a very tasty, beautiful crust...)

'Clannada na Gadelica' is a registered trademark of the Clannada na Gadelica. The following specific definitional phraseologies are Service Marked (SM) for the exclusive use of Clannada na Gadelica:

Gaelic Traditionalism, Gaelic Traditionalist, Diasporal Gaelic Traditionalism, Diasporal Gaelic Traditionalist, Diasporan Gaelic Traditionalism, Diasporan Gaelic Traditionalist, GT, Traditional Gaelic Polytheism, Gaelic Traditional Polytheism, Gaelic Cultural Tradition, Gaelic Cultural Traditions, Hearthlands, GCT

are ALL as of today Service Marked Clannada na Gadelica.

A service mark is "any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in commerce, to identify and distinguish the services of one provider from services provided by others, and to indicate the source of the services."

Since the early 1980s privately, and since 1993 publicly, Clannada na Gadelica, and ONLY Clannada na Gadelica, have used this terminology, (and more terminology which we are also Service Marking), as specific definitional phraseologies to explicate and expound upon the Gaelic Cultural Traditions of the Gaelic Hearthlands. Clannada na Gadelica have provided this original work and original service exclusively, and can documentably prove we were are the originators of the modern re-employment in the Diaspora of this terminology. We specifically do NOT grant permission to use this terminology to any other entity or individuals.

I am Service Marking this work because Kathryn Price a.k.a Kathryn nic Dhana, and the Celtic Reconstructionist identity thieves, and now other neo-pagans, as well as now a Canadian on-line t-shirt company, have been poaching this terminology and trying to crassly commercialize it.

Enough is enough. Clannada coined it and if it takes registering it as a commercial service mark to protect it, then, so be it, and I'll take the inevitable ass-whipping from the authentic Tradition Bearers in the Hearthlands for it. When and if authentic cultural entities in the Hearthlands want to assume the mark for themselves, I'll release it to them. Until then, this is the line.
