I'd say that your version is worth more than my U$2 version ... but, that's
damning with faint praise as I can't see them being worth C$8 either.
 
I have never cottoned to bars which feature televisions as an "attraction".
Especially "sports bars" with a cacophony of competing "sports" on an array of
screens. I call them the "Tower of Babble" and usually go elsewhere. My
favourite watering hole if I am going out to have a drink (damned seldom) or
meet friends (more often) is a place called Harry's which does not even have a
TV in evidence - rather a sign which says "If you want to watch TV get a 12
pack and go home to your own TV."

I like that attitude. Harry's is well populated by people like me who do not
appreciate distractions from their companions/food/beverage.

Harry also refuses to sell/serve LITE beer. He tells those who attempt to order
it "If you want a beer say so. If you just want to flush your kidneys, I'll
bring you a pitcher of water, no charge."

      Title: Beefsteak & Kidney Pie
 Categories: Beef, Offal, Wine, Vegetables, Pastry
      Yield: 8 servings

      4 sm Veal or baby beef kidneys;
           - soaked overnight in three
           - changes of salt water
  1 1/2 lb Rump steak; in 1" pieces
      1 c  Claret or other dry red wine
      2 lg Onions; 1 sliced, 1 diced
      2    Turkish bay leaves
    1/2 c  Parsley; chopped
    1/2 c  Celery; chopped, w/tender
           - leafy tops
      1 c  Mushrooms, sliced
           Suet or Bacon Drippings
           Flour for dredging and
           - thickening
      1 pt Hot Water
           Salt
      1 ts Coarse black pepper
      1 ts Marjoram; dried
           Pastry, pie crust or biscuit
           - dough to cover casserole
 
  Separate the kidneys with a sharp knife, discarding all
  gristly portions and fat. Sprinkle with salt. Cover with
  claret, add bay leaves, sliced onion, pepper. Let it
  marinate 2 hours.

  Pound the steak with flour, and cut into 1" pieces. Brown
  suet or heat bacon drippings in iron skillet. Then add
  diced onion and cook until clear; remove onion from
  skillet.

  Over medium heat, brown steak well. Next drain the
  kidneys, reserving the marinade; dredge with flour, and
  brown, stirring carefully. Add 1 pt or less or hot water,
  stir well, add chopped celery and parsley, and marjoram.

  Mix all well, and transfer to the casserole from which you
  intend to serve the pie. Strain into it the marinade.
  Cover with a tight lid, and bake at 325øF/160øC for about
  one hour.

  Remove from oven. Brown the mushrooms in bacon drippings,
  and if they need thickening, thicken with flour mixed in
  cold water and stirred carefully to avoid lumps. Add the
  mushrooms to the casserole mixture. Cover with a crust of
  puff-paste, pie crust, or biscuit dough, and return to
  400øF/205øC oven, and bake until brown, about 20 to 30
  minutes. Serve at once.
