in scotland, the scotch pie is simply called “a pie”

this was actually based on an old wikipedia vandalism on its page in the scotch pie. if you dig into the history, you can learn a bit more about the claim and the debate. for my money, its a funny line.

how true this it is debatable. but i do remember a good friend in high school who having pie and beans for dinner one night and he definitely didn’t call it a scotch pie.

i have never been a fan of them. i am mostly vegetarian and i believe the pie contains mutton. vegetarian variants can be had these days of course, containing either textured soya protein or macaroni and cheese.
