meat pies

Crust-encased protein

Meat pies are pastries with a savory filling of meat—often beef, lamb, pork, or chicken—encased in a crust and baked.

They range from individual handheld pies to large dishes served in slices.

Regional varieties abound: British steak and kidney pie, Australian meat pies with tomato sauce, Jamaican patties.

We grabbed meat pies from the shop for lunch.
