The Scotch pie is a small, straight-sided double-crust case of hot-water pastry filled with spiced mutton or beef, eaten hot from bakeries and football grounds. It is Glasgow's hand-held lunch.
The Scotch pie, a small double-crust case of hot-water pastry filled with spiced minced mutton, dates back centuries and was once sold by bakers on every Scottish high street. Its straight sides made it easy to carry, and it became the classic food of football terraces. Glasgow bakeries and old cafes still turn them out hot, eaten by hand, sometimes topped with a spoon of beans or brown sauce.
