This is bonkers. Pie making has never been so popular, judging by instagram bakers.

  Pies generally seem pretty unpopular in the US. It’s almost impossible to find savoury pies except for bland chicken, and when you do they have bizarre fundamental misunderstandings, like making a shepherds' pie with... beef. Pies just don't seem to be on the US culinary radar for some reason.

  What's a popular place to get savory pies? Desert pies are insanely sugary, and those are the ones you still see in bakeries.

    British-themed restaurants will have meat pies, probably. The savory pie is very homely, and so if you don't have that option you're pretty limited to what you make at home or Marie Callender. Also, at least from watching GBBO, British savory pies often use suet in the crust, which you would have to get from a butcher; I don't think I've ever seen pre-packaged suet in a supermarket.
