SEA PIE (another way)

Take some uncooked meat cut into slices, and put it in a saucepan; peel some onions and swedes (or turnips, if preferred to swedes), cut them into slices, and put them in with the meat, and sufficient water barely to cover the whole, then season pleasantly with salt and pepper. Potatoes may also be added. Stew gently till the crust is ready. Make a stiff paste of suet or dripping; roll it to the size of the saucepan. Lay it on the meat, put the lid on the pan, and simmer gently for an hour and a half. Serve meat and vegetables on a dish, lay the crust on them, and pour the gravy over all.
