Pie - Pot, Meat, Fruit Pies and Pie Shops - Online
Think of that round pastry dough sitting on your dining table for Christmas, and imagine savouring its delicious, sweet filling, and biting into its rich thick crust. Good, huh? A pie is more than just a baked dish that sounds like a Greek letter. It's delicious, it fills you up, and it creates the best of both worlds when it combines the greatness of baked dough with your favourite fruit or meat.
Types of pie vary regionally. For example, in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, "[m]eat pies with fillings such as steak, cheese, steak and kidney, minced beef, or chicken and mushroom are popular...as take-away snacks". In the United States, though, pot pies may be referred to as meat pies "with a filling of meat (particularly beef, chicken or turkey), gravy, and mixed vegetables (potatoes, carrots and peas)". Fruit pies are different from pot and meat pies in that their fillings are--you guessed it--fruits. Some fruit pies may include the ever famous apple pie usually topped with a scoop of ice cream (a method referred to as à la mode), strawberry pie, pumpkin pie (popular during North American Thanksgiving holiday), lemon meringue and rhubarb pie.
Whether you just want delight in a delicious afternoon snack, or finish off a big holiday meal with the perfect dessert, you can never go wrong with pies. Check out your local food market and walk down the pie aisle to purchase the perfect pie. Even better, shop online at online pie shops and online bakeshops to order your favourite pie. Some of them also offer homemade pies. What are you waiting for? Heavenly goodness is just around the corner. Don't forget the ice cream.
