I had a fantastic steak and kidney pie in Manchester, UK that was made with lamb kidneys. I have missed the flavor SO much since coming back to the US. This recipe looks very close to what I had there, with maybe a few tweaks. I can't wait to try this. The one I had in England had mushrooms in it too, and was a two crust pie.
