About this listen
In this episode of Flavors of Time, we explore the rich and savory legacy of the British meat pie. From its medieval origins as a practical method of preserving meat, the pie evolved into a symbol of both royal grandeur and working-class sustenance. We journey through history—from Tudor banquet tables to factory lunch breaks—uncovering how pies adapted across regions, from the Cornish pasty to the Scotch pie. As the British Empire spread, so did the meat pie, influencing culinary traditions in Australia, South Africa, and beyond. Today, gourmet chefs and home bakers alike continue to reinvent this beloved dish, proving that the pie’s flaky crust still holds centuries of culture and comfort inside.
