Dad Diving In!
This dish encapsulates Yorkshire and all that I have previously described as the perfect heart homemade meal over which the family is brought together. It is always slightly different, it never lasts very long! Living up to its name, this one was made with minced lamb from a whole half (if you can make sense of that!) of a lamb that mum was given not by a Shepherd, but by a local farmer friend. You can never guess what is on the menu over the next few days in the lead up to Christmas.. baaaaa humbug for the poor little lambs, but lucky Crossley family! I will keep you posted!

Cheese topping or no cheese topping? That’s the real debate!
Well mum always makes a large one with cheese topping and a small one for me with no cheese as I didn’t use to like cheese. However when returning from France I dug in to the one with cheese and dad of all people told me off and shouted to mum ‘Mum Alex is stealing our cheese one’!
