Being from the states, I've never had steak and kidney pie. It is popular over there? I read about it, not sure how the kidney part would taste.
Going out to eat

Steak and kidney pie that makes feel hungry even though I have eaten a cottage pie prepared by my lovely wife she tries out recipes found in all sorts of publications.Myself the cat and the dog all enjoy the results of her labours we are all putting on weight but who cares!
We could send you a food parcel but it would have to be tinned which is not the same but you'd get the idea of it.
steak and kidney pie is wonderful.....but a well made steak and kidney pudding is even better....there's a small local café on the high street in altringcham going into Manchester called "the dom" and they specialize in steak and kidney pudding....instead of flakey pastry they seal the filling with an amazing suet pastry, soft and tasty and yummy....

such temptation - totally outside my dietary code I regret (no red meat, no fats, no cakes, etc - sounds about like Sam being discharged from hospital) but I am drooling just at the thought.
That and a spotted dick were always may favourites!

There's a pub restaurant near me in Atwater Village called Tam O'Shanter (It's part of Lawry's steakhouse chain). Their Toad in the hole is pretty good (Yorkshire pudding, filet mignon, with a burgundy wine sauce).
They also have Shepard pie (lamb and cream spinach) but it's seasonal.
The prime rib with Yorkshire pudding is their biggest seller though. They'll throw in a lobster tail or two if you really want to go all out
The sticky toffee pudding is excellent also.

Alll these pictures of my favourite foods its making me even more hungry for my lamb chops this evening.My mum used to make a bacon and onion suet pudding and it was fantastic,a jam one was good as well.All these foods used to fill you up and no worries about calories. Last week I eat an M&S toad in the hole and it was pretty good. I have some localy made pork sauges to cook and maybe I will make a toad int hole the sauges have real pork in and not much rusk.Keep on showing the food pics please.

Their Toad in the Hole is certainly pretty good but that is not what I would call Toad in the Hole which is, for the uninitiated, made with sausages.
I think because they are part of a steakhouse chain is the reason they go with the filet mignon. Or maybe it's an Irish thing?
Real steak and kidney pud is made with suet, has a lid and is steamed. Tastes good and is never going to be part of a cal diet ;D
