I like your threads buddy, but you need to realise that we are not having a dig at you, merely telling you about what we Brits see as a pie (or sandwich) and how you guys over the pond see it. We are not snobs - though some of the southern villagers might be a tad (that means "a little" btw).

It's rather like the language barrier. We both speak English but there were some problems during translation in the early days of your big land. "Aloominum" for example. But we'll stick to pies, we can both pronounce that word the same.

I like your threads, but I don't partake in too many pies and sandwiches myself as I'm trying to keep my love handles lean (rather like a tender sirloin steak).

A Cornish pastie isn't a pie, it's a savoury snack like a sausage roll.

What about a pork pie then?
What about shepherd's pie or fish pie .....

Its nothing to do with a chemical reaction

You use a glass bowl and metal whisks because you can be sure they will be spotlessly clean and grease free. If there is a tiny smear of grease then you won't get the egg white to whisk properly leaving a very dense meringue

If you do only have plastic ( my Kenwood has a plastic bowl) its always best to give it a wipe out with a bit of towel and either lemon juice or vinegar to make sure it is grease free

Okay ... I'll go sit at the back. I don't want to screw the chef.

But ... but ... I was going to ask him if it's true what me Ma always told me. Cold hands made good pastry and does Bakerman have cold hands.

Should I go away politely?
Hence my post earlier about the controversy over a Cornish pasty winning the British Pie Award Last year ( I misnamed it in the earlier post )

The judges said as it encased the filling completely, with pastry, it was a pie, even though it was called a pasty

They don't accept flans, quiches or potato topped offerings as pies

So going by their definition Key lime and Lemon meringue are not pies but tarts

However lightheartedness doesnt seem to be appreciated so Im away to console myself with some Kendal mint cake
