These lamb pies are a traditional Scottish dish which were typically made with mutton and spices, all encased in a crisp hot water crust pastry. The crust allows the pie to be eaten by hand, rather like a Cornish pasty pastry edge. This made the pies traditionally popular at events, particularly football. They are known by many names, such as mutton pie, lamb pie, football pie, pie, shell pie or even mince pie. Today, the mutton pie is normally made with lamb mince or beef mince, sometimes with the addition of onions too. The pies have a larger than normal lip around the edge, of around a centimetre, which was often used to hold a dollop of mashed potato, baked beans, sauce, egg or a pool of gravy. Although still extremely popular in Scotland they are still found across the British Isles and are even sold widely in Canada. Such is its popularity, it even has its own competition of the Scotch Pie Awards!
