Seapie - Gourdon Style
(The Ferryden fisher recipe is slightly different so no complaints please)

Ingredients (if you want):-

1oz butter
pinch of salt and pepper
6 to 8 potatoes
1/2lb stewing steak or, if you're tight, minced beef
4 ozs SR flour
1 teaspoonful gravy salt
2 oz Artora suet.
3 onions

Saute (posh for fry) the chopped up onions in the butter.
Half fill the soup pot (oh aye, I forgot to tell you that you need a soup pot) with water and bring to the boil.

Add the meat and boil for 1 and 1/2 hours then add the chopped up potatoes along with a teaspoonfull of gravy salt and salt and pepper.

After another 1/4 hour add the doughballs which you mix up with the flour and Artora suet or butter (see below for doughballs if you're granny never told you how to make them).

Contine boiling for the remaining 15 minutes and Bobs your uncle its ready - enjoy with a tear in your eye thinking about Gourdon Harbour.


Doughballs

Using an enamel bowl (pronounced bowel) steer up the floor and suet or butter with water until it's doughy (strangely enough). Roll into balls and plop them into the soup.

Thanks toLizzie Souterin Gourdon for this recipe.

Today 30th March 2010 we were in the village meeting old friends at the Fish Restaurant and who remarked that it was a pity there were no places for rent as it was such a beautiful area. We must have been overheard and were told about fantastic rooms for rent just built overlooking the harbour . Its called the Harbour Bar Annex

Went to see it and its beautiful it has one double and one twin room both en suite and has disabled  facilities with views out to the harbour and within a very short walk from the Harbour Bar whose owner Bruce Dorward told me that lots of people had been asking about where to stay and he decided to have this facility for anyone who wished to spend time in the village

Bruce told me that anyone renting the rooms can be served breakfast at the Harbour Bar nearby

His phone number at the Harbour Bar is 01561 361337. I asked Bruce if he minded my placing this information on my web site as numerous people have e mailed me asking where to stay when visiting the area so I am delighted to place this information for you to see. 

These are the pictures of the rooms and one of the view. I have only shown one ensuite although there are two . Make sure you book early these will be popular.
