I seriously don't understand why meat pies are generally not a thing in the U.S.A.

We have pot pie (more of a stew-in-a-pie), but meat pies aren't very prevalent. There are kolaches, empanadas, arepas, and some meat pies, but they're all various cultural imports.

May also be a regional thing, I don't know.

I remember there was an episode of #NorthernExposure that was basically a dream sequence, and the doctor guy portrayed the role of some Soviet guy who was basically starving because it was the early Bolshevik era, and he was offered a meat pie and basically went to town on it before he caught himself and restored the illusion that he was just fine under the Bolsheviks and very much not starving (I don't know how accurate any of that was, so don't hold it against me, communist historians of fedi).

Anyway, that meat pie looked absolutely delicious, and now I'm hungry and I want one. XD
