British Pie Week: Apple or Steak? What is the best pie?

It's British Pie Week!

This week the UK is celebrating a British classic which fills many people with joy - the pie!

Around 75% of the British population eat a pie at least once a month, and the pie-making industry is worth £1.2 billion a year in the UK alone.

Historians think the pie's origin can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where a recipe for chicken pie was discovered carved into a tablet around 2,000 BC.

From there the Ancient Greeks picked up a recipe for pastry, then the Romans joined in and started wrapping meat in pastry.

In Medieval Britain the pie really took off, and bakers would often try to out-do each other with extravagant pastry creations fit for the royal table.

Since then the list of pie fillings has expanded from savoury to sweet, but which pie is the nation's favourite?

A recent survey revealed that apple is top of the sweet pies, and chicken and mushroom is top of the savoury pies.
