Another Cultural Find - Stargazey Pie

As ET keeps us updated with daily entries in her blog about her travels, first Lebanon and now Syria (and next Iran - yikes!), her description of the culture is often even more intriguing than the places she visits and the things she sees.

I'm on somewhat of a Daniel Brühl  jag right now as I just saw him recently in Inglorious Basterds.  Then last night I watched him in Ladies in Lavender with Maggie Smith and Judi Dench (can't go wrong with those two!).   The story is set in Cornwall, England, an area that apparently has a traditional culinary Cornish dish called stargazey (aka stargazy) pie that appears in the movie.  It is, without a doubt, one of  the most "interesting" if not especially appetizing entrees I've ever seen.  Because the fish heads are pointing skyward, they are therefore, evidently, "star gazing".
