You're thinking of a tourtiere CDL, that's a type of meat pie. There are others (e.g. scotch pie, steak & kidney pie, etc) that are British. I used to work in a Scottish-owned pub & restaurant back in my home time when I was in high school so is this pretty familiar stuff. And come to think of it, British-style pubs are fairly common where I live anyways.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge
