Will Anglo meat pies ever become trendy in the US?

>>21532535 (OP)
well we eat pot pies and shepherds pie (I know it’s not the real deal with ground beef) here. we will never take up on things like steak and kidney pie because ew. we’re not that kind of society, no need for it

No, it's kind of like how bongs can't help but systemically rape kids and american's can help but gun them down as highschools, some things cannot be exchanged

>>21532535 (OP)
Hasn't happened in 300 years so probably not

>>21532541
>shepherds pie (I know it’s not the real deal with ground beef)
this is actually just another instance where US English preserves older words or usage
decades of brits correcting people as a hobby while being too arrogant to ever fact check their own shit has altered the meaning of shepherd's pie to being a humble dish for poorfags, to being made with expensive lamb that a shepherd would never eat themselves unless the animal died from misadventure

>>21532535 (OP)
They're popular in small areas, but definitely not widespread. I think the midwest has pasties, NY/NJ during cold months have hand-pies with meat in them very similar to pasties, and I think cubans, porto ricans, and some other kind of mexican have deep fried meat pies.

They're not really widespread because flaky crust handheld pies would be seen as a hot pocket. Small pot pies require you sit down and eat it, and its heavy and hot so if its not cold out nobody wants it.

Then on top of that just making them is so much more work for little culinary gain. A beef stew over rice or cornbread is the same result without all the bullshit of making a regular pie crust ora special mold just for meat pies.

>>21532535 (OP)
There's weirdly a lot of English and Scottish people in my flyover, every so often one of them will open up an authentic pub or tea house and try to do things exactly as they do in England, or so they claim. I've never been, can anyone tell me, is it normal to wait almost three hours for an appetizer? Because that's the cope they all use, until the place inevitably closes down because no one wants to wait three hours for a sausage roll, or scones and clotted cream, or fish and chips, especially since this is a Midwest lake town absolutely full of fish fry shops.

When it's made with beef it's called a Cottage Pie, a name that's been in use since the 18th century.

hot water crust is easy and can be shaped without a mold.
the humble muffin tin that everyone has works fine, too.

>>21532592
>one of them will open up an authentic pub or tea house and try to do things exactly as they do in England,
Having seen hundreds of YouTube videos on Brit cuisine, there's not a single thing that interests me, not even the national dish, jellied eels

>>21532622
it's been called cottage pie and shepherd's pie indistinguishingly since the 18th century, too.
names weren't written in stone, pies didn't have canon genealogy, and the home cook was fully expected to and capable of substituting any or all ingredients in a recipe with whatever was available locally or in season.

>>21532636
Sausage rolls are actually okay, fish and chips are actually okay, but not something anyone wants to spend thirty bucks on and three hours on.

>>21532636
Youve almost certainly already ate and liked most British food.

>>21532535 (OP)
I wish, it looks good

hot pockets are american meat pies

>>21532799
this is a great answer. and luckily they double as a fleshlight if you get tired of eating them part way through the box

>>21532535 (OP)
In Nebraska they eat Runzas. Same thing

>>21532541
>we will never take up on things like steak and kidney pie because ew.
Special forces are trained to eat that shit. So much for home of the brave, bitchtits.

>>21532535 (OP)
Aussie pies were kind of a fad briefly.

>>21532541
>we will never take up on things like steak and kidney pie
I've had kidney pie before at a Bong restaurant. I agree with Neil Gaiman's assessment of it -- it tastes like someone pissed on a steak.

Don't get me wrong, you put a hot chick on top of me, grinding her pussy against my face, and she can force me to drink as much of her piss as she wants, hot from the tap, but in a restaurant meal? Why bother?

no
sadly that is considered "boring white people food" and won't become trendy ever even though it mogs

I've eaten more Chinese pork buns in the US than English style meat pies. They're just not really a thing. First of all, there are no English restaurants or takeaways. At best there are English pubs that have food as an afterthought.

>>21532535 (OP)
I've never really understood why meat pies never really caught on here outside of a small handful of exceptions, I've had british pork pies before and they're great. They seem like something the average burger would really like but they just don't really show up in most of the country, maybe they're more common on the east coast due to the heavier english influence and history in the region but I've never been out that way so I can't say

>>21533123
>First of all, there are no English restaurants
There was one in Denver when I lived near there, they mainly did fish and chips but they also had meat pies, cornish pasties, bangers, and sausage rolls. All of it was pretty good

Chicago has pic related. Authentic in everyway. Jolly Posh.

>>21533184
I was getting targeted ads for this place for a while last year because I bought some stuff from Black Forest Bratwurst Co last September, it was annoying because I was strapped for cash at the time and I really wanted to get the Cumberland sausage but couldn't afford to

>>21533104
>I've had kidney pie before at a Bong restaurant.
No you haven't don't tell lies.

>>21533256
It was probably "kidney"

>>21533250
It's a bit pricey but worthwhile when you're flush. I've had good experiences with Jolly Posh. The food is fresh and made local according to the owner's authentic recipes. Try the sausage rolls someday. They ship throughout the U.S.

>>21533250
>I really wanted to get the Cumberland sausage
I like Cumberland sausage but I prefer the Lincolnshire sausage, worth a try if you can get both but I don't know how authentic they would be in the USA?

I just looked at the ad here? >>21533184
>save $20 off all orders $200+
Who spends $200+ for a takeaway?
Sounds very expensive mate.

I just did some checking - I chose Sainsburys, which is a higher mid-end supermarket (I ignored the cheaper 'budget version' which is almost half price)

Jolly Posh Lincolnshire sausages lb (454 gram) = $12

Sainsburys - sold as 400gram (I did some maths) and it equated to $4.65 lb

Jolly Posh Pork Pie 14oz (397 gram) = $11.99

Sainsburys Pork pie (454 gram) = $5.13 (no calculation, it is what it is)

Big difference in prices.

>>21532535 (OP)
Anglo?

>>21533328
>but I prefer the Lincolnshire sausage
Which is coarser? I tend to prefer coarse sausage, I like the chewiness of it

>>21533313
Black Forest was decent too, I really liked their weisswurst. Weisswurst is stupidly hard to come by in the US if you don't live in the midwest apparently, I love it but I can't find it hardly anywhere

>>21533361
>Which is coarser?
Pretty much same in that regard. I just prefer the 'herbiness' in the Lincolnshire.

>>21533367
Are they both smooth textured sausage though? I don't have a problem with that but I like when sausage is "chunkier" if that makes sense

Us midwesterners do pasties and pot pies that looks yucky

>>21533368
I'm not sure what you mean by 'chunkier' ?
Are they like a hotdog sausage? . . . .good heaven NO!
They are not smooth textured.

>>21533372
There are different textures of sausages, some are smooth and some are coarse. I feel like I'm talking to an AI that's never eaten food before

>>21532535 (OP)
they're tasty but they don't look appealing, can you make them using a mooncake press or sth to make them pretty? I bet they would sell well then

>>21532793
That looks like a fairly low quality slop-pie. Pastry particularly.

>>21532636
>the national dish, jellied eels
false, it's an antiquated dish only eaten by certain cockney boomers
national dish is fish and chips

>>21533966
>the national dish, jellied eels
For someone who claimed to have watched 100s of britfood videos, yes they were talking out of their backside.

>national dish is fish and chips
I wouldn't say that either, perhaps it's the Sunday Roast? truth is we don't really have one, not that it matters.

>>21533973
I'd say fish and chips is eaten more than sunday roast, roast plus all the sides is a labour of love most don't make nowadays

>>21533977
>roast plus all the sides is a labour of love most don't make nowadays
When I was growing up, everybody had one but you are right, most people claim to be too busy now and it's less frequent.
Like I said, I'm not bothered if we have a national dish or not and popularity doesn't make it so, I bet more people eat a packet of crisps than fish and chips but that doesn't make it a national dish.
But it is a British icon.

>>21532535 (OP)
>Will Anglo meat pies ever become trendy in the US?
Likely not. Our latino population have this covered well if not better, from papa rellenas, empanadas, pasteles, pastelitos, tequenos, to bocaditos and spanish tortas, and so forth.

Empanadas are kinda shit, pupusas are vastly superior
