Pie

A sweet or savory dish made with a crust and filling (such as fruit, pudding, meat or vegetable). Pies can have bottom crusts only, or top and bottom crusts or, as with Deep-Dish pies, only a top crust. Sweet pies are generally served as dessert and savory pies as the main course or appetizer. Crusts can be made of a variety of mixtures including short crust pastry, Puff Pastry, cookie crumbs, Meringue and even, as with Shepherd's Pie, mashed potatoes. Category:Glossary
