What I ate today - the food thread

[anat0l]

Interestingly is “pie” an aussie thing? Europe trip for 6weeks last year I did not see pie on a menu anyway once. (Didn’t actively seek out but an idle observation after 2-3 weeks.)

A very Anglo thing I believe, but might have started from the UK.

Americans have pies, though usually it's the larger pies that you normally share. Of course, amongst other things, Americans have the pumpkin pie.

Not really any pies in Europe, and it's a borrowed word in their languages. The French have pâté en croûte which looks like a pie, but is served sliced and cold. Sometimes that dish name is also used to refer to a pie.

After a few weeks of what seemed to be the only snack/brunch offering of cheese and ham roll or croissant, a pepper steak pie would have been welcome.
