Meat Pie
Australia
Australia's hand pie. Sold at every footy ground, petrol station and bakery. Eating them at the cricket is a sacred ritual.
Australia's most loved hand-held food — a hot water pastry case filled with beef mince in a rich gravy, eaten with a squeeze of tomato sauce at the football.

The filling must be cold before adding the pastry — hot filling makes the base go soggy.
