To celebrate National Pie Day (23rd January), recipe box delivery company HelloFresh has revealed the UK’s top ten favourite pies.
Analysing the average number of searches per month, the data showed the most popular pie in the UK was cottage pie (90,500 searchers) followed by shepherd’s pie (90,500), fish pie (40,500) and chicken & leak pie (22,200).
Rounding off the top ten favourite pies in the UK were chicken pie, chicken & mushroom pie, steak pie, pork pie, steak & ale pie and cheese & onion pie.
Mimi Morely, recipe development manager at HelloFresh, said: “It’s no surprise shepherd’s pie and cottage pie are still so popular as a staple comfort food. If you want to boost your vegetable intake try incorporating root vegetables in your potato topping for added nutrients or swap normal potatoes for sweet potatoes.
