pie and mash

Pie and mash is a traditional working-class London dish consisting of a meat pie (typically minced beef) served with mashed potatoes and a green parsley sauce called liquor.

The meal has been sold in dedicated pie and mash shops since the 19th century: We stopped at a proper East End pie and mash shop.
