Wouldn't an English pie be similar to something like "torta pasqualina"? It's not usual to see a pie with meat in Italy, usually its filling it's all vegetable

  > Wouldn't an English pie be similar to something like "torta pasqualina"? Nope, nothing like that, I think. English pies use thicker pastry, are filled with gravy and never anything green. Something like this[1] gives you an idea. Perhaps it's the sort of equivalent, but the Italian I work with says there is nothing like them that he's ever had in Italy. 1. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3148692/dads-beef-mushroom-and-mustard-pies http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3148692/dads-beef-mushroo...

    If I search "traditional English pie" I see images of something more similar to what I suggested than the image you linked. I'm in the U.S., so the search results might be affected by my location. edit: I tried on google.co.uk and I get more results similar to what you suggested.

      Yeah I think that's google trickery. How strange though, I would have thought the search "traditional English pie" shouldn't/wouldn't be affected by the location.

        If you search "Carbonara" in the U.S. you get something with cream, peas and garlic. So, it's definitely affected. :)
