lamb pies

Shepherd's baked parcels

Lamb pies are savory pastries filled with lamb meat, typically combined with vegetables, gravy, and seasonings, then baked in a crust.

They range from individual hand pies to larger dishes meant for slicing: We picked up lamb pies from the butcher shop.

The filling often includes potatoes, carrots, or peas.

A staple of British, Australian, and New Zealand cooking.
