There is a pie called "Star-gazie Pie" which my mother told me of (I've never
eaten it). It is served in South Wales at least, and I'm not sure if it's
also served in other parts of Britain. It is a fish pie made with whole
(cleaned) fish within it, laid side by side. The top crust has holes cut in
it and the head and tail of the fish are pulled through the holes from
beneath so the body of the fish is "submerged" in the pie and the heads and
tails poke through the holes and are above the crust - making the fish "gaze"
at the stars - at least that where I'm assuming the title came from.... Has
anyone else on the list heard of this pie? I wonder about the origins of
it....
