A pie has a full pastry base, and a lid
A tart has a full pastry base, no lid
what is a pie but with no base called?

Fray Bento's, those ones you get in a tin, they don't have a base, but are still called pies.

Like the "pies" you get at pubs. Just a heap of meat and gravy with a piece of pastry plonked on top. Rubbish imo.

lol no

I say a pie isn't a pie without a base, sure I've heard a proper name for a pie with no base but can't remember what

Nitro_Junkie · 7 Jun 2007 at 19:05

Could you not just turn it upside down and pretend it's a pie?

If you cut a pie in half is it now two pies or still one?

Not even if you get the treadmill up to 200mph?

It's been awhile since ive had one, it must be a very thin base cos their impossible to get out of the can without destroying them.

Are you sure? Anytime I've had the Steak & Kidney variety there was no base in it, just meat substitute.
