Cheese and onion pie is a savoury dish,[1] the basis of which is an outer layer of savoury pastry filled with a mixture of cheese, onion, herbs and sometimes potato. Many recipes contain Lancashire cheese, indicating an origin in North West England.[2]
History
[edit]This was a food traditionally popular with the working classes of Northern England, due to a combination of relatively cheap ingredients which provided sustenance to workers, particularly in the mining, steel, and manufacturing industries. Today there are artisanal versions of the dish available;[3] however, potato is often used to add bulk to cheaper mass-produced pies.
