January 23rd is the day to curl up with your meaty pie and celebrate this food holiday in carnivore style.

We love a pie filled with meat — from chicken pot pie to steak, ale and kidney pie. Cornish pasties or any hand-held pie rank high on our list. Shepherd’s pie with Wagyu beef is a favorite recipe, too. Lamb tucks nicely into a crust, and so does venison or wild boar. You can say all you like about apple pie, we’ll take a meat pie any day.
