I found a solution to this! Shepard's Pie! The meat juices softened the
shortbread during baking, which had made the original receipe mush. This

Deep Thoughts:
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?
Why if you take it by land is it a shipment, and by sea it's cargo?
