Meat ration
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Pies in English cuisine have their distinctive characteristics. Pies are usually baked not on a baking sheet, but in a specially designed pie dish. The dough can be yeast-free, flaky, or puff pastry, rolled out quite thinly, and used differently in the pie. In a closed pie, the dough lines the bottom and sides of the dish, and then a separate lid is made to cover the filling. In an open pie, the filling is left uncovered. There is another variation where the filling is placed directly into the dish, covered with a pastry lid, and then baked. One thing remains constant—there is always more filling than dough, which essentially serves merely as a container. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
