Sheep-meat chops with stock, sliced onion and potato, baked together. Despite its olde-English sound, the name does not appear in any of the Northumberland glossaries, such as Richard Heslop’s ‘Northumberland Words’ of 1892, and seems to be unknown to the Northumberland Language Society’s website. Panjotheram Image: Unknown Original Receipt from Alnwick Mercury – Saturday 28 January 1939 PANJOTHERAM Fill a deep pie dish three-quarters full with slices of raw potatoes, then cut over a good layer of sliced onions. Season plentifully with pepper and salt, and pour boiling water into the pie dish until it is half full. Then lay a mutton chop on top for each person. Cover with plate and set in the oven. It will take two hours in a good oven, watching it so that it does not go dry.
