southern pie

An erroneously-named dish, vastly popular in London and the home counties of the UK since the turn of the 21st century. Despite the name, Southern Pie is actually *not* a pie - but instead a washy casserole with a soggy pastry lid.

The dish consists of a filling - almost always with a meat component and often vegetables and gravy - and is served in a Bernardaud Ecume or equally wanky overpriced bowl, with the lazy chef adding a garnish of puff pastry on top of the dish, almost as if he didn't give a fuck that the "pie" he's serving isn't a pie, despite costing £14 before the customer even thinks about a side.

The warm and delicious pie that never lets you down. It is said to be the best pie in the South. Only one person knows the secret ingredients and she will never tell you what it is.
