A meat pie is a pie with a filling of meat and often other savory ingredients. They are found in cuisines worldwide.
Meat pies are usually baked, fried, or deep-fried to brown them and develop the flavour through the Maillard reaction.[1] Many varieties have a flaky crust due to the incorporation of butter to develop a flaky texture when baking.
