You're thinking of a tourtiere CDL, that's a type of meat pie. There are others (e.g. scotch pie, steak & kidney pie, etc) that are British. I used to work in a Scottish-owned pub & restaurant back in my home time when I was in high school so is this pretty familiar stuff. And come to think of it, British-style pubs are fairly common where I live anyways.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I've seen crumpets where I work; they're basically like spongy-looking English muffins. If memory serves me correctly, that is. ^_^;

Yeah, they're sort of like muffins but the texture is totally different.. very tasty anyway, good for breakfast.

We do have mince meat and veg pies, they're quite tasty, not sure whether its a purely British thing though. Pie is good anyway. >_>

A thing of beauty. Or at least a salted, smoked fish (usually herring, but I've seen mackerel sold this way too). I love the stuff, but rarely have them these days as a matter of courtesy to the people I live with. The smell these things give off is unbelievable.
