Can you allay my suspicions and confirm its meat content?

Well, really. It's a pork pie with wild garlic.From Cothi Valley Goats. It isn't a goat pie - they have pigs as well.

I've eaten an egg salad for lunch in protest.

Was it a Scotch egg?

Why is the general feeling that a pasty is inferior to a pie and not the other way round?

.....because they are utterly vile?

I can't say I'm surprised, there are few other pies that can match a pasty. Unlike many other pies a pasty is good on its own and requires neither plate nor implement to consume. I am, however, shocked that it wasn't made in Cornwall.

I think you can get more pasties out of a single child than you can pies
I also think that a child pasty would be more tender than one made from adults

I'm not shocked. Cornish pasties clearly aren't good good enough to take on a pasty made in the Lake District.
