How to Make Devonshire Squab Pie – The Victorian Way

Today, Mrs Crocombe is making a Devonshire Squab Pie - a simple but delicious dish that uses mutton and apples. Curiously, squab means pigeon, so this is an oddly named recipe given that there is no pigeon in it! The Devonshire part of the name may allude to it being an apple growing region, as well as having plenty of fine grazing land on the moors for sheep.
