Boris Karloff’s Steak and Kidney Pie

Boris Karloff
“The monster was the best friend I ever had.”

Aw Boris, that’s so SAD!

I am so lucky that I have such wonderful friends. And some who REALLY love the Silver Screen Suppers project too. King loves it so much that he made a great big gorgeous pie for us last night EXACTLY to Boris’s recipe. Three people had volunteered to test cook this one but so far, King is the only one who has had the guts to do it!

Rosalind was on hand to assist, her lovely ma had made the pastry for the pie on Saturday in Lincoln and wrapped it up in the paper from the lard. We all sat consuming vast amounts of wine whilst Rosalind and King were huddled together removing the channels from the kidneys and confiding in each other how much they loved to handle offal… And what a wonderful result – a great big, beautiful pie which was 100% delicious. I laughed out loud when Edmund found out what the secret ingredient was – hard boiled eggs. He SHOUTED, “Eggs? Where? It’s a PIE not a QUICHE”! But he gobbled it all up just the same.

Rosalind couldn’t find her copy of “Gods and Monsters” which we were gathered there to see but no matter, we watched “An Education” and gossiped all the way through it instead. A wonderful night in the grand tradition of dinner and a movie.
