My Grandfather, father and some cousins had butcher shops and they never put sausages in their steak pies, their customers would have run them out of town up here. It would spoil the taste of a good steak pie.

Never watched Still Game then, There steak pie has to have a sausage in it.

I'm guessing that it must be a regional thing - adding sausages.
I too have never heard of a steak pie having sausages in it.
However I did do a web search for 'traditional Scottish steak pie recipe' and I was surprised that there were recipes which included sausages.

Do you have a pastry bottom too Karen? (so to speak  )
In my head a pie is a filling encased in pastry, not what you get down the pub when they just plonk a bit of puff pastry on top of a beef casserole. 

Dan - this could be a whole other discussion - pastry bottom or not - I'm not fussed really.

well mine won't have sausages or a pastry bottom sorry...

Just how I feel - I'd have thrown it back if I'd tasted sausage - cheap muck spoiling a good pie

Excuse me! Our sausages are not "cheap muck".

I prefer the sausage to the steak

One of my friends also puts in a slice of black pudding. You would never put a cheap sausage in. Has to be the best.

That's 'cos it's not Shetland steak

I wasn't referring to your own sausages or your own home made steak pie.    It's up you how you make it.  Personally any sausage put in a steak pie is cheaper than what should be in  it, perhaps muck was a bit strong.
