Many in New Zealand would say there is nothing like a steaming hot pie on a cold and wet winter’s day.  

One of winter’s wonders besides, there’s an awful lot to celebrate about pies.  There’s one for pretty much every meal.  Bacon and egg for breakfast, little mince pies for a fine morning tea, a suitably healthy vegetarian option for lunch, a fruit mince number for afternoon tea, and pulled pork and cider for dinner.  (Okay, you can have steak and cheese instead, if you really want.)  And, even better, it's a mobile meal you can hold in one hand.
