I can't speak for the whole country, but Southerners don't tend to eat meaty pies...The climate doesn't lend itself to pies and gravy. In fact one December we made a roast with gravy and Yorkshire pudding and went right off it.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14065816.post-89200601534560200822007-08-10T05:13:00.000-05:002007-08-10T05:13:00.000-05:00You have a pl;ace called House of Pies?!
