All I know is it’s not a pie. May as well call it a Bungalow Risotto or a Shed Gumbo.
- Not (more or less) fully encased in pastry = not a pie

Pot pies, with just a lid and no base = not a pie
Tarts and flans, without a lid = not a pie
I’m fine with them being called pies, but it’s like toad in the hole or crispy seaweed isn’t it. They’re not literally pies.
The pastry is the best bit of a pie, so as far as I’m concerned it’s not a pie unless the contents are fully encased in the good stuff.
I don’t make pies but occasionally enjoy a decent supermarket steak pie. That said, every time I had one I eat the bits of meat first so I’m left with just the gravy and pastry to savour. If somebody made gravy pies, I’d probably end up dying of pie poisoning.
