†PADOVIE, n. Also podovie. A small individual minced beef pie or patty.Sc. 1826 M. Dods Manual II. 270:
Beef Patties or Podovies. — Shred a tender underdone piece of lean beef, with a very little of the firm fat. Season with pepper, salt, onion, an anchovy boned and chopped, and a very little shalot or Chili vinegar. The podovies may be made either by putting the mince into hot paste like apple-pasty, and frying them, or be baked in patty-pans in a good plain crust made of dripping or lard.Arg. 1901 N.

Twa oors syne . . . there was beef padovies and stoved howtowdies, but I gied them to twa gaun-aboot bodies.
