OK - we don't call them that in the UK. Would a pasties count as hand pies in the US?
Yes, they are the basically the same thing, except I don't know if pasties can be sweet.

I think they go by specific names when they are sweet, such as an apple turnover (handheld size), apple pie also springs to mind. I've made a Shaker pie before now (I think out was a Shaker pie not Shuker pie, basically a lemon pie that was whole lemon slices with sugar over them for 24hrs before being arranged in a pie base and top and cooked) , treacle tart is another though that tends to be a lattice pie top.Yes, they are the basically the same thing, except I don't know if pasties can be sweet.
Had BBQ at a new restaurant in New York!
Sorry, I was confusing the competitions! The Cookalong I enjoyed very much. I remember spending hours researching the origins and development of dishes such as coq au vin, and coming up with a new/old twists to the recipes. I'm not sure that the drive for inclusivity has brought much culinary adventure to the new (non) challenge.Well - its not really a challenge as such. Just a 'participation' thing. So the more members who participate, the better! The 'Cookalong' was different. That was meant to be more of a challenge to cook a specific dish or use a specific cooking technique that perhaps members hadn't used before. In the end we didn't get many participating...
It does however mean that it can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. For those who want a real challenge out can be, but for those who are only just starting out with cooking a basic pie would still be a challenge.I'm not sure that the drive for inclusivity has brought much culinary adventure to the new (non) challenge

I'm trying to get my cooking mojo back and as long as I don't need an oven I'll join in.
It died. We are hoping to move so I don't want to buy a new one we can't take with us.
Pies have got enough mentions so lets go for savoury pies and pasties (to include any sort of savoury filling enclosed or topped with pastry). That allows for Indian, Middle Eastern versions etc. of pasties such as samosas, bureek and so on.
So sweet pies and hand pies are out?
For the purposes of this 'challenge' this is defined as a savoury filling topped with or enclosed in pastry, so includes savoury 'pies and pasties' from around the world such as samosas, bureek, tiropita and so on.
