You and Mr. Brown are one of a kind! It is the most comforting place to go watching your videos! And it is both of you because you represent the way things should be and you are great role models! Your recipes are wonderful and since my husband passed in 2007, and I will be 70 soon, when I watch your videos and get busy in the kitchen, my sadness goes out the window and the good kitchen smells take over! Thank - you both for being there and sharing such precious times with all of us! You are a most amazing, fabulous couple!

Our Argentine daughter-in-law made empanadas often. It was a special treat for the whole family! She went to heaven three years ago, leaving 7 children. I can see her beautiful hands, fluting the crusts of the “fried pies” as I watch this video. She passed her talent onto her 4 daughters (the oldest, 18) who continue their mama’s wonderful cooking skills! Thanks for your sweet reminders of food, not just for the stomach, but for the heart!

I was born in Nebraska and they have what they call Runza. It has hamburger meat and cabbage filling, in a bread dough. They are baked. Very delicious. Just another way to make meat pies :)

My family's from Appalachian Mountain range in Eastern Ky. Area was mostly settled by Irish / Scottish/ Native Americans. My granny made these , we called them meat pies or fruit pies . We didn't have electric till I was 15 . She cooked on a wood stove that had a reservoir by the oven and a warmer cabinet above the stovetop , that's where she would put them pies! Mine aren't near as good ! Be blessed y'all!

Used love seeing my mom or grandma standing at the fence with my lunch as I came around the field on the tractor! It might be a biscuit with egg and bacon , cornbread and beans or some kind of fried pie! Life was good

My gran would always manage to add a smidgeon of shredded cabbage to almost EVERYTHING! JUST to stretch whatever, a but furthrr and sneak in a bit more nutrition. Of course if there was some leftover turnip...that would get mixed in too...growing up in the depression she had a serious *hatred* for waste! Of anything!

This has quickly become one of my favorite channels to watch!!!

Love em'. This is what we carried in our lunches when I was a kid. Mother put whatever she had in them, always a surprise and always delicious.

Up here in Michigan they're called a Pasty or Pasties ( Pass-tee, or Pass-tee's ). Lots of root vegetables, carrots, rutabagas, potatoes, onions, and a good amount of meat, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, burger or chopped into smallish pieces. Usually 1 to 1 1/2 cups of filling, folded over like a calzone. Usually baked. Served with gravy or ketchup.

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but I think you would could make a killer cookbook. Just good ole fashioned, down home recipes. The kind of simple, comfort cooking we all long for. I think it'd be a big, big hit!

I love your videos. Relaxing, informative and delicious. No loud annoying music necessary. Just quietly teaching us so much. Can’t wait to try these! Thank you, and God bless! ❤️

My mom made dried fruit fried pies, peach, or apricot, once a week and I and my friend would run from the school bus to the house, so excited for those pies. Thank-you for this video. Maybe time to make fried pies in my kitchen, too.

Remember, my Whipporwil Hollar family, if you watch their ads they are better supported by KZfaq. 💞Show your love and give them a thumbs up. They are a great blessing to me.

1. They look so yummy! 2. Really cute dress!!! 3. I've always noticed in your vids that when you get around your husband, you always giggle a little bit. It is soooo adorable! Love you both!

I love this video. The lady's voice is so relaxing, and the storyline of memories ties it all together and bonds us with OUR memories of mom's/grandma's/ etc, cooking that we grew up with, and reminds us of the dishes that have left an indelible mark on our hearts that rings true for so many of us. At 4:11 when she talks about 'pasties', it reminds me of growing up in England back in the 1960's and we would have pasties. They were called 'Cornish' pasties because they were first made by the Cornish tin miners in Cornwall, UK, who would take these parcels of food that was simple, and in some cases, made of 'left-over' food down the mines with them. At one end of the pasty was meat and potato, carrot and onion, and sometimes, at the OTHER end was a fruit filling such as apple or blackberry or fruit of some description which was the 'pudding' or 'dessert'. In some cases, a 'handle' was formed with the pastry so the miner could hold it with his dirty hands and eat the pasty without eating the 'dirt'. In the video, the lady calls it a 'paystee', but the pronunciation in UK is 'pastee' with the 'a' as in the word, 'cat' or 'hat'.

I made a batch of pasties last week. These are not the exact Cornish or Michigan version, but they are so good, and I give them to friends and families as gifts. They freeze beautifully. I love that you posted this video and your channel is such a joy to watch!

I'm from South Africa, and I never had this or saw it before, going to make some right now!!!

My friend from Ireland always had a "Boxing Day" party the day after Christmas here in TN. It was the first time I ever had a pork pastie made by his lovely wife, Patty. Sadly she passed away 4 years ago and her husband hasn't had a party or a pastie since. After seeing your video I decided it's high time I took up the torch and continued this wonderful tradition! I shall practice and perfect your recipe and hopefully by "Boxing Day" the Corona virus will be but a memory and we can all celebrate together once again! Thanks for this! xox

I love hearing you talk, "grease a poppin" love it! 💕

We used to get pears from my grandmother's pear tree. Mom and I made pear pies. We started frying them , but switched to baking them. We brushed them withy butter when they were done and sprinkled cinnamon sugar. Your video reminded me of those wonderful memories. God Bless yall.

I been making these for about 45 years. Both meat & fruit pies. We call them MOON PIES. THE THINNER THE CRUST THE BETTER YUM YUM. GOD'S BLESSINGS 🙏😇💖🇺🇸

Another delicious comfort food video. We are all gonna gain weight if this quarantine continues and you keep sharing recipes with us! 😋

I see where this video is two years old but had to thank you for sharing your memories of your grandma and her cooking. I love the idea of a meat filling along with the sweet filling. You are right about one thing, they are all good! Love and blessings ❤❤

I grew up in New Zealand and meat pies were my favorite. Made in bakeries as single serving round double crust pies or at home in a rectangular baking pan by my mother. With mashed potatoes and green peas for sides. It's an old English dish since NZ is an English country. I found your vlog today and I have binge watched. From here in Kansas City I love your cooking!

I'm so excited to make some of these pies! I'm a widow, cooking for just me now and these would be perfect to make up a batch and throw in the freezer. I don't buy whole potatoes since they always seem to go bad before I get them used up, so I'll try some hash browns (frozen). And I think this would be a good way to "clean out the fridge" too. Thanks so much for this really helpful idea. I just ordered a set of the pie presses!

You have such a lovely accent and soothing voice. Reminds me of my relatives!

Thank you so much for the recipe, you and your husband are really BLESS, at this time are not many real couples living happy and together, God bless your family always. From Canada.

Dear Lori, Thank you for having this channel. Out dearly beloved aunt has developed dementia, and we miss how she "was" in her younger days. She lives in Danville, and we don't get down to see her like we used to. But, watching you and listening to you, its a lot like we remember her when she was well. She (and his grandmother0 basically saved my husband's life when he was a child. So, I love her and our memories of his grandmother, so much. I'm a suburbs girl, who my husband said I always sounded like a yankee to him, but it wasn't until I went to the real "South" that I understood what he meant. Our Aunt Sissie also worked in the lunchroom at the local schools and made sure those kids had good breakfasts, lunches and snacks for so many years. Whenever we'd visit, it was always all about her cooking for us and making us so happy!! Thanks again for your channel.

I really like your hand pies! The idea of having a few extra that you can put in the freezer for a quick meal another day is something appealing to me.

Mrs. Lori, I’m excited to make these meat pies😁 Having my husband and 15 yr old grandson home home for however long, as we deal with the virus.. it seems I just feed that grandson and he’s hungry again 😜 I can make these up and he can grab them as he gets hungry..again 🤪 I use the Better than Bouillon, beef and chicken flavors, it’s so good!😊 I made fruit “hand pies” ( that’s what grandma called them) at Thanksgiving on a whim, my bunch loved them so much they requested me to make again at Christmas. Needless to say, I make them often now 😁 but I didn’t know about the lil do dad you used, I’ll be ordering some of those asap! ☺️ Thanks sweet lady, another winning video 😊 Prayers for you and Mr. Brown and your family to stay and well, have a great week! Love y’all 💕🌸💕 xoxo

Oh My! Watching this video triggered a pleasant memory of over 55 years ago. My grandmother would roll her pie dough on a tea towel as well. Funny how I had completely forgotten until now.

Since you mentioned it the correct pronunciation is pasties with a short 'A' as 'past history'. the original pastie came from Cornwall in the UK. They are famous for them. Their particular secret is to add some turnip or as some say 'rutabega' or Swede to the potatoes, meat and onions. Thank you for this perfect presentation, with such a beautiful view of your home. I love it when the artist picks up that last bit of onion. This is so important. Anyone who wastes food carelessly and habitually is begging for a famine. (According to some.) I believe it, so I also take the trouble to not waste so much as a single grain of rice. You are cooking for Mr. Brown!! How wonderful, most of today's women have Mr. Brown on a hit list. Thank you, you are a ruby amongst women.

I think it's so sweet for you to say Mr. Brown💝 Mama made fruit fried pies. This meat pie looks delicious.

Boy what memories came rushing in. Here in Louisiana we call them meat pies, or we have crawfish pies, etc. The sweet pies, we call them by the ing within, like lemon, chocolate, etc. I so thank you Mss Lori, its been a couple years that we had fried pies. Blessings To Yall, Stay Safe

My Alabama Granny & Aunts still make fried sweet fried pies my Granny was 98 when she went home but I remember some meat pies she made when I was little (I’m 57) I forgot until I saw this.

I love listening to Miss Lori talk.

Mr Brown enjoying his sweet heart's fried pies. :)

Where I was raised, in Michigan, we would have them at school. They called them Pasties (pronounced with the short “a” sound), it was one of my favorite things to eat growing up!

I'm from north Louisiana, and we call them fried pies in the area I'm from. My Mamaw made them and called them "Puppy Ears" to us kids. She folded them over and once she got them sealed they did look a little like puppy ears. :-) We loved them. Papaw's favorite was her peach fried pies. Those are some great memories. Thanks for bringing them back.

I love watching you both. Thank you for sharing all that you do. We still make pasties.

Going to try the “Paul Bunyan” burger like your grandma made❣️ Definitely going to make the chocolate pies also. Thank you so much Lori for these recipes and demonstrations. It helps me 100% when I can WATCH someone do something. You and Mr. Brown take care and God bless y’all. 🥰

We like to make a pork pie for the holidays. So it looks like we’ll be making these! I also dehydrated lots of apples last fall so we will do those for the sweet ones. Can’t wait to make them!♥️👍😘🙏🤓

Those salt and pepper pots are really pretty! Beautiful kitchen and good conversation! Thanks for sharing this!

My mom had a scratch bakery. A local restaurant had her make something similar they would bring her their end trimming of veggies, meat and cheese and she would make what they would call them Barney buns. Good memories. I want to make these now. Thanks so much!

I love that visitors can sit at the counter and watch you cook. Blessings 🙏

Thanks for the video Miss Lori, one to save for tomorrow evening. I thought about you and Mr Brown today when I saw the news. Hope you wasn't affected by the Tornado. God bless!

Oh Miss Lori you brought so many memories! I’m from Chicago. My grandmother and mother made meat pasties (paaaaaa-steees). They were from Scotland and made the pies for the coal miners. But they made them in Canada and then in Chicago for other working folks. They made them for our dinners too. All of us developed our own variations, adaptations. I make a meat pie. Everyone loves it. They request it for holidays..thank you for making my day and I’m going to try your way. Love you. God bless.

I'm from Michigan and was raised eating pasties. I love them! Thanks for showing how easy and thrifty these are. 💗

Hi Miss Lori glad to hear you sounding a bit better today. We call these pasties in this area they are traditionally made with corned beef and vegetables and they were originally known as a meal in your hand especially for workmen. We also bake the pastry and I’m told they are really delicious don’t eat a lot of pastry myself, use it as a treat. Take care, keep safe love Mary from England.

I was born in PA and moved to the south when I was 5. After watching this video, I feel like my childhood was deprived. I think I've heard of fried pies, but I've never eaten one by any name. I think fried pies will become a staple in my dotage, LOL. You made this look easy. I'm hungry now.............

Im a trucker, and i make baked pasties at home that i can warm up for a hot and tasty lunch on the road. Loved the video

What a blast from the past. Sweet memories of my mom making fried pies. We really liked peach fried pies.

My mama grew up in West Virginia. She called them “fried pies” we all loved them! Thank you for the memories!💖

Goodness girl! You had me when you added garlic twice and maybe again! This is the first time that I've seen one of your videos. I love it! I have to check to see if you have anymore. Be Blessed in Jesus name!!!

Thank you so much for your videos! Home cooking is alive!! Wish more young people would learn how.

My momma always called them fried pies. She only made fruit, peach is my favorite. Always my favorite Sunday morning breakfast.

Always loved Natchitoches meat pies.

I think my computer is listening to me: I made the filling and crust for lemon fried pies yesterday and rolled and cooked them today. I have some dough left over and been wondering what I should use it for. Duh! Meat pies! My Granny called them "pasties", which we grandkids immediately took to be "Patsies", as in Patsy Kline. So in my home, all meat pies are called "patsies" and the dessert fried pies are just fried pies. Anywho, thanks for sharing! Hope y'all remain well and safe. Blessings from Texas.

Hi Miss Lori, I know I wrote to you before when I seen your video for these meat fry pies. I finally got some made and they were so good!! I used some hamburger meat and I browned it and since I didn’t have any onions, I used my onion powder and garlic powder. Then I put some flour in with it and stirred it up and added some water and milk and made some gravy over the meat. Then I added some leftover mashed potatoes and I had some leftover baby carrots that I sliced them up thin and added them to the meat. Oh my goodness, I did use salt and pepper too, of course. Thank you so much again for this recipe. 2 of my sons came over to mow for me tonight and I got them done in time so they could try them. They loved them!!! God bless you and Mr. Brown and you channel.

Home cooking is made with love and a pinch of salt. Thanks for sharing!

Will definitely have to try making meat pies. I use my dehydrated apples for fried pies

In the north, specifically northern Michigan, they are called pass-tees. They are derived from the Cornish Pasty. Also delicious.

Thank you for letting us peek into your life. Recipes are so good and ingredients I have in my kitchen. 🌹

My ancestors were miners from Pennsylvania. We are Slavic Russian Ukrainian dissent. My grandmother made the best pasties ever and told wonderful stories how the women made those for the minors. They packed everything in there that was nutritious and easy for the men to eat

Actually, it's pronounced with a short "a". Past- rhymes with last. "Pasties never lasties in our house!"

My husband loves empanadas. The ones he ate when we took a cruise had chorizo in them. I have never made them for him. My 89 year old mother in law sent him some fried apple and raisin pies last week. He loves her raisin pies.

I love tons of oinion, garlic, a little salt & lots of black freshly ground pepper.

Mushrooms yes please. I am from west Tennessee and my mother would make these fried pies for my father ( sweet and savory) and you brought back some wonderful memories, thank you so much from and old women that doesn't cook anymore but enjoys the memories.

yup ya can fry bake or cook on the fire,, they are tasty no matter how ya make them,, be blessed and safe

I’m so glad you are okay. I mentioned to Buddy and Ms. Lippy that I was concerned after I heard about Arkansas tornado and was not sure how close that was to you. Thanks for the meat pies video today. I have had empanadas and pierogies, which I believe I are similar to meat pies. I will definitely try this recipe.

My mother made a filling from cooked dried apples with some sugar, allspice and cinnamon and maybe a bit of butter. She made her pastry with lard or Crisco and she baked her hand pies in the oven...running some butter over them after they came out of the oven. We used a saucer to cut out the crust and folded it over the filling and crimped the edges with a fork. Half moon shaped pies. YUM! That's how hillbillies from the Smokey Mtns of North Carolina made them. Love that pie crimper...I'll have to get one.

Natchitoches, Louisiana is the oldest permanent settlement in this region. Established in 1714 they are famous for meat pies. Prior to covid they had a big meat pie festival every year. Very popular tourist destination. Thanks for the video!

:( I just love your cooking even though I'll never be able to do it as good because you learned growing up and have lived your whole life cooking this way and I have not. I can try a few recipes but, it will never become a standard for me like it is for you. I think you are so lucky and thank you for sharing all your yummy recipes. :]

tasting everything getting full up before dinner: Mama called that her 20 lb. lickin' finger. like she would gain 20lbs.

I injoy learning by watching you. All my family is gone on. Thank you alot. Bless you and Mr. Brown.

I’ve been watching you for some time now. I’ve decided that it’s probably good that you wasn’t my momma growing up. Because you’d had some major problems getting me to ever leave the nest!😂

I'm in Montana and we call them pasties. My grandma made them with hamburger and onion and then we put brown gravy on them. Yum!

My momma always made fried peach pies! Love watching you cook. I’m so glad I found you!

I will be making your recipe for these pies! I was captivated listening to you talk, you reminded of my family in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky. Most were from the hills and hollers and being there with them while growing up were the best memories from my childhood. I want to say thank you for sharing your stories and recipes with us, you really brightened my spirit. 🌞

I Britain they are called Cornish Pastes. How are you from the storm yesterday?

My grandmother used to make the best fried peach pies! I’ve never made any but I’m gonna try! Got some peaches in the freezer. Prayers for Jonesboro. I hope y’all didn’t get any of that storm.

I loaded up a rental car with my mother-in-law and a few of my kids a couple of years ago to see my sister, who had a very serious illness and surgery to go through. We went from IA to LA, and on the way back from a hurried, harried, blessed trip, we found a place in Arkansas that had some delicious fried pies. My then 81year old MIL had never eaten one! It was a taste of my childhood revisited, as my momma would make fruit fried pies. Thank you for sharing- such yummy goodness ❤️ Got my lard in the fridge- will have to make this for the family 😊

Thank you, I could listen to your voice all day. Lots of love from a Scotsman.

The French add a little allspice to their meat pies.

In Mississippi we call them Fried pies there’s meat pies and fried sweet pies

I love fried pies! My stepdaddy was Cheyenne and Arapaho and made these for us. Then we started making them for ourselves. I love livin' in the AR. Ozarks! LOOKS AMAZING!

I have never before seen fried pies. I have tried them now and thank you for introducing them. Such a lovely way to use up little bits of leftovers.

When all this is over can I come to supper at your house?

Where did you get your cutting boards? They are beautiful!

These pies look wonderful. Especially the chocolate filling. Thank you for sharing. God bless 💕

"KEEPER OF THE OLD WAYS" 👍 Red KZfaq doesn't want that. I usually make the dough from CRISCO SHORTENING. It's the filling you want to be tasty and like you say, there are many different ones. Potatoes, onions, peas and meat is always good. In a pinch, Crescent rolls can be used as long as the filling is cooked. Thank you for a terrific recipe and video presentation. Red KZfaq, send me notifications for my subscriptions.

Could I baked them

Looks sooo delicious Lori! What do you set your electric skillet on?

Looks yummy! Water chestnuts and peas or carrots, shredded cabbage would be delicious added!

I used to work with a nurse who did her training in Eastern Pennsylvania. She had an Amish meat pie recipe that used carp. Cabbage, spices, some shaved carrot, sometimes a bit of red bell pepper, and then she would add thin strips of carp and then fry them. They were always good. Another friend of mine has done these with chopped crab, shrimp, or lobster.

The only "pretty'" that matters, is the tasting "pretty (darn good)." 😊

Surry County NC-- called zsonkers

Just found this video. My 89 yr old Dad grew up in the hills of Wesley Arkansas, and grew up with a lot of meat pies...and fried peach pies. He told me about them more than a few times.

So many times i try recipes from on-line and they turn out so-so, but your recipe is OUTSTANDING! I followed the directions exactly, putting together my own filling: fried one onion, a few peas, 12 oz canned chicken drained, salt, pepper, and a bit of chicken bouillion; i made a small package of those cheese-flavored mashed potatoes, with a bit less fluid called for, separately; when i assembled, i put potato layer and then meat mixture on top; i bought one of those presses at local amish store, works great! They were flakey and delicious, and i froze some too. THANK YOU!!

Mymomma used to make these meat pies. What a blessing you are.
