meat-pies

Crusted protein parcels

Meat-pies is a catchall term for an entire class of baked dishes that contain meat and other ingredients, with a crust of dough on the outside.

The most common is chicken pot pie but regional specialties include shepherd’s pie and Cornish pasty.

Some people also classify meat-filled pastries, such as empanadas, as meat pies.
