Let's Get Cooking: Meat Pies

Meat Pies are a staple of British cuisine. A filling of meat combined with vegetables encased in a pastry provided many essential nutrients and proteins for daily life in 17th century England. Join Sally as she makes a traditional English meat pie on the Frontier Culture Museum's 1650s English farm. The family that would have lived in this house would have been of Yeoman status, a land owning family who still had to work to produce a sustainable income. Have you ever made a meat pie? Let us know if it was like Sally's in the comments below!
