The Scotch pie is the UK’s most searched for pie online, according to research by Eat Great Meat.
The online butchers analysed a year’s worth of searches for different pies in Google Keywords and Trends to determine the UK’s favourite pie.
Scotch pies topped the table with 386,000 searches, representing 16.9% of all searches for pies across the UK over the past 12 months. Originating in Scotland, the pie traditionally contains mutton (although beef is commonly used now) and is a fan favourite at football games.
Vegan pie came in second with around half as many searches for the term, followed by vegetarian cottage pie, Cornish pasty and banoffee pie. Mince pies also made the top 10 (see table below).
