Meat and potato pie

Encyclopedia : M : ME : MEA : Meat and potato pie

Meat and potato pie is a popular variation of pie eaten in Lancashire and Cumbria in England. Of note, this dish is popular in towns such as Barrow-in-Furness, Burnley and, notably, Wigan (whose residents are known as the pie-eaters). They are typically eaten in take-away form.

It consists of a pastry casing filled with potato, either lamb or beef and sometimes carrot and/or onion. They can often be bought in a specialty pie shop, a type of bakery concentrating on pies, or in a chip shop. They are similar to cornish pasties or to corned beef pies.
