What Meat pie is
Handheld savoury pie with minced beef and gravy.
Meat pie is listed as a dish in the Australia guide, where the index tags it familiar flavours. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
