Potpie
A potpie is a type of pie, typically with a flaky pastry crust, that contains a filling of meat and vegetables. The term “potpie” can be used to refer to both the dish and the pie crust. The dish is thought to have originated in medieval England, and the first pies were probably made in earthenware pots.
The filling for potpies was typically whatever meat was available, as well as whatever vegetables were in season. The pies were then cooked in a pot over an open fire. This method of cooking was likely the reason for the name “potpie.”
The first pies were probably fairly simple, but over time, the recipes became more elaborate. By the Victorian era, potpies were often made with a variety of meats, vegetables, and even fruits. They were also often decorated with intricate crust designs.
