Pies are defined by their crusts. As long as it is baked and covered with some sort of topping eg, pastry, potato or even pasta, it can be called a pie.

I used to make and serve a game pepperpot pie. It consisted of venison, grouse, partridge, smoked streaky bacon, pork belly, root vegetables, green peppercorns, red wine, port and fresh herbs, all cooked in a rich gravy and served under a herbed cheesy suet pastry. Not for the faint hearted, but the gentlemen of Mayfair (including a well known Royal) used to love it.

In some parts of the country, yes. Called a pie floater, basically a meat pie covered in usually mushy peas.

Meat pies are an Australian staple food but you know what I can't stand meat pies, vege pies etc.

Apple or other fruit pies then I'm all for.
