Part 3/7:
Next on our list is the iconic British Pie. Typically savory, the unmistakable aroma of a freshly baked pie fills the air, making it hard to resist. The Dauphinois Pie, a popular variant, features delicious layers of cheese, onions, and potatoes, all enveloped in a perfectly crafted shortcrust pastry, seasoned to perfection.
This centuries-old tradition is deeply embedded in British food culture. The preparation includes caramelizing onions, precooking potatoes, and layering ingredients with Montgomery Cheddar — a rich, nutty cheese from Somerset — before sealing it with a tight-fitting lid and baking until golden brown.
Pies are not just a meal; they're a slice of history and comfort food wrapped in flaky pastry, making it an essential dish to savor.
