Assuming you are in London liquor is the liquid left over from boiling eels.

No! Tell me it's not true!!

 

[Spymaster]

No! Tell me it's not true!!

It's absolutely not true.

Liquor, to any Londoner, is a parsley sauce type, green gravy.

Where do you get this nonsense from Tobyjug?

Thankyou very much. My guest just turned a funny colour then

He has to have the pie and mash to make it orfentic though

 

[Spymaster]

No problem.

There are dozens of recipes for the stuff (most of them "secret" ), but most involve making a roux, chucking in a load of parsley, salt, cream and a bit of vinegar.

Why anyone would want to eat a substance that smells of cats piss however, is beyond me!

Anyone who comes up with a reply liquor is not the liquid from cooking eels is talking out of their arse. Pie and liquor is pie and gravy made from the liquid that is the result of boiling eels.

Note:- that is cheffy bollocks.

Liqour is sometimes (but not always) made using a stock from eels or fish with the addition of parsley, cornflour and vinegar - it is the parsley which gives it the bright green colour.

Anyone serving myself and my wife liquor with parsley in it would risk decapitation and urination in the hole left.
(Parsley in liquor, yuppie bollocks).

 

[pilchardman]

Liquor is distilled alcohol. Making it yourself isn't allowed.

The recipe is: boil beer, and catch the steam.

Fuck me Tobyjug you're taking this makey-up facts bollocks too far now. You do not have a clue. Are you seriously going to tell a bunch of Londoners that liquor contains no parsley?

Clue: Don't.

Eels in pie and mash shops are stewed in a parsley sauce as the recipe says. Many pie and mash shops use the left over liquor to put over pie and mash. Not so common now though.

Its liquor (according to the law), job done.

Shame... Will fish stock do?

 

[rhod]

I once had a memorable meal of pie, mash & liquor somewhere in London with Californian country singer Heather Myles. (long story)!

She loved it, I wasn't quite so sure - the liquor reminded me of snot..

(she's actually a very cool person & collector of Morris Travellers)!

Yuppie bollox? Cockneys have been eating pie mash and liquor (made with parsley btw, NOT gravy) since late Victorian times and maybe before. Hardly a yuppie thing to be honest...

If you're that way inclined. Most prefer chicken stock given that you're going to be chucking it over a meat pie.
