meat pie
Crust-encased protein dish
A meat pie is a baked pastry with a savory filling of meat, often combined with gravy, vegetables, or other ingredients.
The term covers everything from individual handheld pies to large dishes sliced for serving.
Meat pies are especially popular in British, Australian, and New Zealand cuisine: We grabbed meat pies at the football match.
In Australian slang, a meat pie can also mean a rhyming substitute for "eye."
