So, just had a massive disagreement with the wife 15:14 - Jan 20 with 2968 viewshomer_123

She informed me that for this evenings dinner we are having pie (chicken, ham and leeks) - fair enough - no problems with that.

I've just nipped down to the kitchen for a mid afternoon cuppa (and a slice of homemade carrot cake) to see her rolling out Jus Roll puff pastry and lay it on top of a dish full of chicken, ham and leeks.

I pointed out to her that, in fact, this means it's not a pie at all - merely a puff pastry topping for a chicken, ham and leek casserole. The best part of any pie is the side and bottom, obviously!

Suffice to say, an argument ensued (one of those ones that escalates all too quickly and you are not sure why or how) - I'm now back in the office upstairs with no tea and wearing some carrot cake.

I'm right though, aren't I - it's not a fecking pie is it!?

You've got this one wrong, friend.

Alternative wording of this pie definition:

Assuming that it lasts long enough to go cold, could you cut a slice & pick it up to eat it out of your hand? If the answer is no, it's not pie.

[I did read another version of this definition, something to do with "could you put a slice of it in your pocket", but that's too messy to contemplate and, besides, I don't much fancy a fluff topping.]

That leaves shepherd's pie as the exception which, in this case, breaks the rule, but then what do you expect from those who spend their working lives out in the fields with just a dog and sheep for company. NFN, I suppose.


Except for cottage pie and fish pie, both of which don't even involve pastry. There's a lot of pie fascism on this thread, next thing we know it'll only be a pie if it's made entirely of Aryian pastry.

I think it might already be too late. Your full pastry enclosure supremacy is too deeply ingrained for us to even debate it.

No, you are right and she is wrong.

You're a [brave] fool for pointing it out though.

You should have kept quiet and just made the next one yourself, doing it properly, and not said anything, to let the message shine through itself.

Pie culture has always been a broad church. It's welcomed both pastry and potato based followers for centuries. Really worrying to see some hardliners trying to undo all that inclusivity by claiming that theirs is the one true pie.
