Traditional Pie Eating

When we were struggling to finish the pork pies in the picnic, I peeled off the pastry and ate the meat.  We later observed other people in their picnic doing the same thing. 

I always have to educate people on the history of pie.  For the traditional pies, they are dryer ingredients or pure meat.  Pie is made to preserve the meat, and the casing makes it transportable and is the disposable coverings.
