Pasty Pronounced PASS-TEE

As an Australian, glad we didn't forget where we came from, love a good meat pie

I DONT THINK THE AMERICANS ARE IN ANY POSITION TO SLAG OF OUR FOOD

I don't think anyone could have described steak and ale pie better than that. That was spot on.

I live a few miles from Melton Mowbray, the pies are epic.

If you really want to shock an American give them Stargazey Pie lol.

Go to Cornwall and ask for a paste-ee, you will be lucky to get out of the county alive.

You missed out the ultimate culture shock Stargazy Pie!

That's some good research you did there. Even some English people don't get all of these right.

And we English invented the apple pie, the Austrians cherry pie.

Most American opinion is based on WW2 rationed food they encountered in Britain. Traditional English food is heavily regional, as evidenced by named dishes like Melton Pork pie, Cornish pasty etc. American food is based on dishes brought in by immigrants from all over the world.

You can't beat a blackberry and apple pie, poor heaven!!!

quite a few Americans come to the UK these days and enjoy cauliflower cheese as well

Meat & potato pie ( must be warm) with mushy peas. Food of the Gods.

A steak & kidney pie is never made with suet pastry,  that would make a steak & kidney pudding which is a kind of steamed pie.

the pasty originally had a meal one side, and pudding the other end. that was one variant anyway.

YOU only worry about the seagulls when they roll up their sleeves then you know they mean business

A local butcher just east of Melbourne in Australia makes a pie with slow-cooked beef, Guinness gravy, with lots of sharp cheddar throughout the mix and baked in a tall shortcrust pastry with buttery puff pastry on top. A fabulous winter warmer (it's winter now).

Adding cheddar cheese makes it a Cumberland pie

... you gotta have a steamed steak and kidney pudding ...
