'Pie liquor' appears to be similar to..  Original Receipt in Francatelli 1846;No. 127. Parsley Sauce. Chop a handful of parsley and mix it in a stewpan with two ounces of butter, two ounces of flour, pepper and salt; moisten with half a pint of water and a table-spoonful of vinegar. Stir the parsley-sauce on the fire till it boils, and then pour it over the fish, drained free from water, on its dish.  London Pie and Mash Image: Sue Wallace  |
