The filling of the \u2018bryde\u2019s pie\u2019 consisted of lamb\u2019s testicles with a healthy dollop of spices.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a wedding tradition around this time of hiding a glass ring within the pie&#8217;s filling. If an unwed lady discovered the ring in her portion, folklore dictated she would be next to marry, similar to today\u2019s custom of catching the bouquet.<\/p>\n<p>Pies were not just a celebratory affair reserved for the wedding day either. In his diaries, Samuel Pepys recalls attending numerous anniversary celebrations in which mince pies (one for each year the couple had been wed) were served to those attending to join in the congratulations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Pie and Mash History in Wales<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25464 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/PieandMash-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/PieandMash-Collage.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/PieandMash-Collage-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 70vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Until the end of the 19th century, in the Gower Peninsula of South West Wales, the big day was celebrated in a tradition known as \u2018bidding weddings\u2019, which derives from \u2018Beading\u2019 or \u2018Bridewain\u2019 weddings. Both the bride and the groom were referred to as \u2018brides\u2019 and once the banns were called in church, the couple would keep the community guessing as to who would be invited, or \u2018beaded\u2019, to the wedding itself.<\/p>\n<p>A \u2018beader\u2019 would then be appointed to issue invitations. Instead of popping cards into the post, this individual would visit each house carrying a staff decorated with ribbons and repeat the \u2018bidding rhyme\u2019 to those who were invited to the wedding. Tradition dictated that both of the \u2018brides\u2019 would leave the house together on the wedding day, led by a fiddler to the church. After the ceremony, the wedding feast would consist of \u2018bidding pie\u2019. A local farmer was selected to supply meat from a sheep to go into pies baked by women from the village.<\/p>\n<p>Even more ingenious perhaps is that each guest at a bidding wedding would be charged a sum of money for a slice of the pie. At the feast, the \u2018bidder\u2019 would have the important task of recording the proceeds. At the end, the newly-wed couple would be presented with the cash intended to put towards setting up their new home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Meanwhile, in Victorian England and Scotland<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive alignnone wp-image-83053 size-full img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PieMash-CloseUp.jpg\" alt=\"steak pie and mash\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PieMash-CloseUp.jpg 724w, https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PieMash-CloseUp-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/PieMash-CloseUp-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 70vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 1828, a chap named Carr described \u2018penny weddings\u2019 held in North Yorkshire. Despite slowly going out of fashion, such betrothal ceremonies were still those where guests paid to attend. He would say, \u201cThe bride\u2019s pie was so essential a dish on the dining table after the celebration of a marriage, there was no prospect of happiness without it\u201d, and that \u201cit would have been deemed an act of neglect or rudeness if any of the party omitted to partake of it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>During the Victorian era, elaborate pies became the principal dish at many weddings in Scotland too. The meat pastry, delicacy known as a \u2018bridie\u2019, originated in Forfar in the 1850s and is still popular to this day. The name of the minced steak pie is thought to have derived from the frequent appearance of bridies on wedding menus and the fact it was said to bring luck to the bride.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1800s, a published cook, by the name of Mrs Frazer, included the recipe for \u2018Bride\u2019s Pie\u2019 in seven editions of her book, \u2018The Practice of Cookery, Pastry and Confectionery&#8217;. The recipe called for two boiled calf\u2019s feet, beef suet, apples, raisins and a splash of brandy and champagne. The ring hidden in the midst of the pie to predict the next bride was still a requirement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/britishfoodhistory.com\/2012\/01\/22\/eel-pie-and-mash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about the history of Pie and Mash in the UK (Britishfoodhistory.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Continuing the pie tradition at weddings today<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/PieMash-Wedding-Couple.jpg\" height=\"590\" width=\"828\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-109250 img-responsive\" alt=\"Pie &amp; Mash Wedding Food Catering Van\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/PieMash-Wedding-Couple.jpg 828w, https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/PieMash-Wedding-Couple-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tejas.topscripts.in\/kevin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/PieMash-Wedding-Couple-768x547.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 800px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Pies may not feature heavily in today\u2019s wedding customs, but we think they should!
