An erroneously-named dish, vastly popular in London and the home counties of the UK since the turn of the 21st century. Despite the name, Southern Pie is actually *not* a pie - but instead a washy casserole with a soggy pastry lid.
The dish consists of a filling - almost always with a meat component and often vegetables and gravy - and is served in a Bernardaud Ecume or equally wanky overpriced bowl, with the lazy chef adding a garnish of puff pastry on top of the dish, almost as if he didn't give a fuck that the "pie" he's serving isn't a pie, despite costing £14 before the customer even thinks about a side.
