Stupid, but serious, question from a somewhat ignorant American...
Does "Pie" mean something other than what we call "Pie" in America? I have never seen Americans get this geeked up about Pie before, so there must be a foreign equivalent that is much better than what we make.
Like "Chips" (french fries), or "Bangers" (NOT what I thought they were...my apologies again to the waitress).

Having lived on both sides of the pond, I would still define a pie (a savoury one) as:
Having some meat filling (or vegetable), with a crust (and a top), preferably baked, and consumed as the main part of the meal rather than as as a sugary dessert.
Chicken and Mushroom
Steak and Ale
Bean
Cheese
Potato
And so on and so forth.
ultimately:
Pie!

To define a wee bit further... pastry lid on a savoury filling. Not a filling wrapped in pastry, that's a pastie not a pie.
In Australia and New Zealand a pie is just about always a filling with a pastry (puff for savoury and short crust for sweet) base and lid in a single portion (1 serve) or family size (4 serves)
e.g. single serve savoury pie:

That's the ticket!

I believe pie will confuse too many people. The only meat pie most people know here is chicken pot pie. And it's not that exciting.
Carnie Food - (carnival/fair food) Chili cheese fries, funnel cakes, candy apples, greasy burgers. Maybe one savory and one sweet.
Picnic Food - Homecooked meals that are served cold later. Presentation must resemble a picnic.
Chilify It - Name the restaurant and the best non-spicy meal you've had and try to chilify it. Ever eat an amazing meal but wish it was spicy? Here's your chance. Entries will be "Inspired by..."
Big City Food - Ritzy stuff with artsy presentation. DTS knows.

I'm not that excited over pies most pictures will look the same. A pie cut open with some meat inside. Tasting is the key. Don't think it works.MrArboc said:
Maybe Aussie foods instead. Meat pies and more, and lots of research for the rest.
