Fife Miner's Stew image

Serves four hungry miners! For about a century, until the 1970s, this dish was a tradition in most Fife miners' homes for a late Sunday breakfast after church, their only day off. This recipe is a little more elaborate than the original - serve it with scones, mash or baked potatoes. From A Cook's Tour of Scotland by Sue Lawrence.

I found this stew to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I will definitely try it again with less chili powder.
