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.

eat in tin is the key

I'd say a pudding is just an upside down tart

I did eat it in the tin. My housemate made the mistake of trying to extract it

You called it a pie in the first place.. so it must just simply be a pie.. with no base. as you said

Once I bought a microwavable chicken pie. Pie my arse. It was just dog food grade chicken in sauce, and a separate slice of pastry to stick on top. I did the mature thing and shaped the pastry into a penis instead of making the "pie".

I made a fish pie yesterday with a cheesy mash with chives top. You don't need pastry for a pie.

Indeed! Also shepherd's pie which has neither pastry lid or base!

Both good examples of 'pie' and good food. Perhaps it's convention to call them pie, as to me it's not a pie unless it has a base.

I had a mate who made a pie within a pie within a pie within a pie within a pie within a pie within a pie within a pie for his food tech coursework back in the day, I had a slice, SO GOOD!

Also, drunk food, fray bentos tinned pies + ketchup is about as good as it gets.

substitute ketchup for beans, slice top across before you cook it, when done add the beans inside and fold tops back over = winner

I wasn't expecting it to be good, but I was at least expecting it to actually be a pie.

At least I got to have a humourous genitalia shaped pastry snack from it.
