Those pork pies with fruit across the top, though delicious are problematic. Those things you get in pubs, pastry lids on top of a bowl full of filling but no pastry are tasty but also not pies, as Nico would have said. What about Salmon en Croute? Pie, I'd say so. Posh pie. Beef Wellington. Pie. Really, really, posh pie. Sausage Roll, it's a sausage roll, the ends poke out.

But even more confusingly, some are being sold with an incomplete lid - like a pastry star over most of the mincemeat. They're a sort of three-quarter pie.

Dvorak Dec 2017 7:29pm, 4 Dec 2017 14,874 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak I am shocked that is denouncing the Scottish ashet pie, traditionally served at New Year. This steak pie is properly made in a large enamel dish with pastry only over the top. Properly, pastry will be placed around the flat lip of the ashet, and another sheet of pastry placed over the top (this is in order to seal in the gravy). Some small shop versions are only in a foil dish and therefore should not really be called ashet pies.
