You can usually get chicken pies, but not really small ones. Never seen a beef one though. Not a pie culture (even apple pies aren't that common, at least in the north east).

The pies will all have cream on (often instead of a pastry top). I don't think we've seen a meat pie over there...

I want to know if Mississippi mud really is made of chocolate.
The recipe my mum made once had over a pint of double cream in, and this was possibly the relatively namby-pamby British version. The Mersey Mud Pie, if you will. Still tasted a lot better than a Mersey Trout pie would...

Yeah, my knowledge is from the Mid-West primarily (Wisconsin). I think it being a dairy state means lots of whipped cream on fruit. I have heard of chicken pot pies, but I think they are all just casseroles with hats on which would only infuriate @vernon more when he thought he'd discovered a pie after all this time. I can't imagine pork pies existing at all (in fact, in Canada my mate could pull by just saying 'Pork Pie' when he was a squaddie over their on manoeuvres, I think they liked the 'O's.)

You gotta do a blog Vernon.....Vernons Blog, Star Date 2015.
 
(By the way, I've just heard that Numbnuts has decided to emigrate to the US)
He'll go for the Big Apple

Good luck, Vernon. I can imagine the scene as you stroll into the nearest pie restaurant:
Stetson wearing maitre D: "Howdy, Sir - do you have a reservation?"
Bekilted McVernon: "Nobbut I've got a patchy back garden in Meanwood."

Upper Peninsula of Michigan has Cornish Pasty. Supermarkets in the midwest have frozen and sometimes fresh chicken,beef,or turkey pies. For those of greater appetite, Marie Callender makes them in larger sizes.
Hy Vee may have fresh pies in that vein. Depending on venue,good pie may be had here. Oh, btw,we make pasty with rutabaga here.

^ Piemaestro Vernon's going to get indigestion watching this...:whistle:

Only one major error in the video. "No self respecting Brit ever warms up a pork pie"

My favourite butcher reckons that I was responsible for him having to buy a new pie press - he wore his old one out trying to keep pace with my appetite for his wares.
