Cottage Pie. Mmmm. Mashed potato and mince... Lovely.

EDIT: This thread is under the protection of the UN Protectorate Forces.

Since my last pie thread dealt only with sweet pies, I hereby create this thread for those who prefer savory pies. And yes, there will be a poll.

Edit: Ah, shit, shepherd's pie and cottage pie are the same thing!? :headbang:

I saw them both listed here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie#Savoury_pies) and assumed they were different things.

No. They're different, at least where I come from. Shepards Pie tends to have carrots and other vegetable mixed in with the meat and potato. Cottage pie is pure mince and tatties.

EDIT: Alert! Alert! Incoming time warp!

The fact that piroshky (or pirogue, or any other spelling of the Russian/Balto-Slavic savory pie) didn't make your poll is a travesty of meaty-pie goodness. You haven't tasted YUMMY until you've had a smoked salmon piroshky from Pike Place Market in Seattle.

We don't eat meat pies in this country, beyond chicken pot pie. Maybe turkey pot pie, or a shepherd's pie. Empanadas are basically meat pies, but that's as close as it gets.

So I guess I'd vote for chicken pot pie.

Speak for yourself, please. Besides, the US is full of meat pie wannabees, like Hot Pockets.

I am still standing by the piroshky.

True, but many NSGers abroad do.

they are different.
Shepards pie has lamb's meat.
Cottage pie was mince meat (e.g. beef)
I prefer cottage as i have said.
so they are different, not by alot mind you but, they do have different ingriedients.

Zucchini pie. Double crust, hamburger, zucchini, tomatoes, parmesan cheese and spices. Yummy!!! :)

Ah, okay. :)

Mmm, chicken and mushroom with flakey pastry..... :)

I don't really kno about any other pies but I've only had shepherd pie and its quite good!. :p

My favourite is probably a bastardised Shepherd's Pie where you remove the lamb and use venison instead.

The gamey venison is neatly cut by the potatoes and vegetables.

Venetian veal pie with Foie gras.

*tackles you as a PETA assualt missile zips past*

What's your favorite savory pie?

I had a great veal tortière a couple of weeks ago. Nummy.

Steak pie, you wacky Brit's can keep the organ meats to yourselves.

I must say a Meat pie, but others such as Curry pie, Lamb and Rosemary, Kangaroo pie, beef cheese and bacon, chilli pie and beer pie is very nice.

Steak and Ale FTW :D

where is the pork pie option?!?

*riots*

Chicken pot pie.

Mushroom/onion pie.

The most savory pie of all isn't listed in the poll.

This explains your breath. :p

You're just jealous I won't kiss you.

Shepherd's pie almost, almost allows me to forgive the English for all of the other culinary calamities they have forced upon the world. I think the saddest day in imperial history was the day the first Indian was forced to eat English "curry."

I have never heard of a savory pie. Maybe a pot pie? I'm not all that into it I guess.

Humble pie is it?

Honey Pie,

That's probably more of a 'sweet' than a 'savory'.

I missed that thread. I was probably off eating, or maybe sleeping.

I chose steak & kidney pie, out of the listed options (and steak & kidney pudding is pretty good, too...), but if you haven't tried a steak & stilton pie yet then you've missed a real treat...

the kind of meat and potatoe pie, supposedly from cornwall, that place over in gb, however its spelled, called pasties. sometimes called pot pies too. only without all the soupy gravey. which is ok, but pasties are all solid stuff to bite into.

while not tecnically pies, i also like spring rolls and egg rolls and hum bao. the last i kind of bun with meat in it. that may have a number of other names where it's from.

and yes, i do like those meat pie kind of things more then i like desert pies. just as i also like meat dishes generally more then most deserts.
