Stovies are stoved potatoes - a lot of arguements about the ingredients - thickly sliced potato and onion, stock, and some kind of meat - in my family it was sausage, but others use the remains of roast beef, etc. - poor peoples food.

My mum makes apple tarts, not apple pies - she kind of waves the sugar jar in the general direction of the apples, which makes it tart rather than sweet.
