A meat pie is baked dough encasing minced or diced meat bound with fat and broth, often spiced with pepper, cloves, or mustard. Baker’s wives prepare these as quick meals, selling them at market stalls or inns. A single pie feeds one hungry traveler or serves as a day’s ration for a laborer. They keep a few days before the crust softens or the filling spoils.
