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!? [Post edited 20 Jan 2021 15:29]

We are never right. Even when we are. You should know that by now. |  |

Ah, the old pie debate. As someone who's not particularly fond of pastry, I'm happier with just the lid at home; but at the football or something you'd definitely need the proper full-pastry pie. |  |

Still counts as a pie, imo. I'm with Marge on this one I'm afraid. |  |

I proudly made my wife a gluten free meat pie the other day, at her request, and she said was ok but it had too much pastry. It was a pie. What did she expect? |  | | |

The real mistake is using puff pastry for a pie rather than short crust. |  |

With gluten free pastry less is definitely more. | |

I feel had I gone down this route - the carrot cake stains would be the least of my concerns. | |

But the pastry, in my opinion, was a damn site better than some gluten free options you can buy. Used a recipe that I saw online and it was better than some normal pastry options that I have had or bought. Hey ho. | | | |

It's been mis-sold to me - is there some cheapskate firm of solicitors I can contact? | |

This is simple. A pie is a filling entirely encased in pastry.
What you describe is a stew or soup with a lid. It's as much a pie as a hot dog is a sandwich.
Also, premade pastry? Lazy wench. |  |

Yeah, you should be able to hold a pie in your hand and eat it that way. You'd have a job doing that with the topped off casserole. |  |

You're right, it's just pure laziness not to put pastry around the side and bottom.
I'll leave you to tell her that though... |  |

Or a cottage pie. Or a fish pie.

mine currently cant work, so shes asked if she can start taking wallpaper off in some rooms that'll get decorated etc.....
"yep that's fine, just don't do the front room, as it's a bit soul destroying looking at every room needing work, I can atleast relax in there"
the same day, maybe 3 hours later, started taking paper off in front room.
why even have a voice |  |

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. |  |

But are you sure it’s not a “tart” ? |  | | |
