What is your favourite pie?

[GePap]

Well, as a Hispanic, large savory pies are generally not around in Latin America, and neither are sweet pies. Most bakeries stick to pastries, cookies, and cakes.

The thing is, Brist seem to call turnovers and other small savory pastries pies, which as pictured above, do exist in Latin America and are actually quite popular. Chileans and Argentines have the most extensive types of Empanadas, and the Chileans can make some relatively large ones.

Traditional Cornish pasties have potato, vegetables, and meat in them. Though I had a brilliant morrocon lamb and apricot one the other day.

I'm American and my mother used to make Chicken Pot Pie on a regular basis. Most Americans would equate pie to dessert though.

It seems that with a credit card and a valid mailing address anyone can enjoy frozen versions of various British foodstuffs.

Now I'm really confused. On the first page the picture of the pork pie looked like it had icing on top.

We eat pie for desert over here. Chocolate Silk, Lemon and of course if you're from Texas you have to love Pecan pie it's a prerequisite.

It originated in the middle east and (traditionally) came to Cornwall with the Phoenician traders long before those upstart Romans came along. Similar versions went to Spain, and thereby to Latin America.

The "traditional" Cornish pasty as we now know it contains chunks of steak or minced beef, potato, onion and swede, seasoned with black pepper.
