Meat and other savory pies are around, but yeah, most Americans would assume you meant something sweet. But chicken pot pie, for example, is common enough.

Pie, though a really well-made cake is wonderful. An average cake, on the other hand, doesn’t tempt me in the slightest, whereas an average pie will.

Pie has to be pretty bad for it not to still be pretty good.

Pie vs donuts, though . . .

(The funny thing is, I don’t have all that much of a sweet tooth.)

A Serbian-American colleague of mine used to bring in meat and cheese pies from the old country for breakfast every now and then. Fucking fantastic. But, yeah, otherwise not common.

Pardon my ignorance, but are there cold chicken restaurants?

Also, there are restaurants in east Asia that serve raw chicken. Intentionally.

I have not tried it.
I went to a conveyor belt sushi place in a provincial part of Aichi prefecture, Japan, and almost ordered the medium rare chicken as it trundled past. This was cooked on one side, scored and seasoned on the other. 10+ years on, I still regret not trying it.

The minced raw pork sandwich in northern Germany is just OK. The raw beef slices in lime juice at some Vietnamese restaurants are great, though.

Yeah, I’ve been in multiple situations where, like.. hey, you wanna eat this?? And I was like, huh??? But there was something in me that was like, well, this is a civilized place, how the hell can they stay in business if they are getting people seriously ill???

Nope, still can’t pull the trigger. Have had plenty of raw fish, beef… can’t do raw fowl.
