Food Trivia

What is a “Tartan Pie”?

When it comes to food, there are names for everything.  If you search for “tartan pie” on the internet, you’ll get a lot of pie and a lot of tartan, but little in between.  There’s a link for an “french apple tartan pie”, and for “Tartan Dress from Pie in the Sky”, but you won’t find the tartan pie that “The Tartan Pie Bakery” is famous for.

The “Tartan Pie” is a savory pie created by Scotty, the former owner of our bakery “The Tartan Pie”.  The pie was so tasty it inspired the name of the business.

The “Tartan Pie” is quite essentially the ultimate in comfort food. It takes my favorite meal and lays it inside 2 homemade pie crusts for an amazing combination of flavors.

Now the catch is that Scotty swore us to secrecy when he sold us the business, so I can’t tell you everything that’s in the “Tartan Pie”. I can tell you that it’s a delightful version of a turkey pie. I can also tell you it’s become my favorite quick meal after having it only once.  And it’s so good I’m considering serving it for Christmas Dinner.  I like the idea of new traditions, but that’ll likely be an entry in itself because I’m not so sure my hubby will be ready to part from a traditional Christmas dinner.

What is a “tartan pie”?  Simply stated, and without breaking our promise,  a ‘tartan pie’ is a delicious turkey pie unlike anything you’ve ever tasted, created by the nicest scottish man you could ever meet!
