The most traditional English food is ?

Not all pies are good, egg pie for instance is fucking horrible.

Quiche.

There is no lid on it, its not a pie but a flan, just the frenchies call it quiche, its a fucking flan... pies have to be encased, with a lid, the sides can be the dish its cooked in if you want, but a lid is essential, its the law, unless you are a ponce and deconstruct one...
 
But still all corners of these isles love a bit of pie. Who doesnt love a pie? So versatile you can put anything you like in them. Pie.
And a pie has the filling encased in pastry.
Those who believe a hot pot with a lattice pastry lid is a pie should be exiled so as not to destroy the fabric of society.

Well I happen to agree with your stance, but there are pies like the afore mentioned Shepherds, Cottage and Cumberland, that dont have pastry. A lid/top is essential to a pie, the cooking dish can act as the sides in certain circumstances.
 
Even the weird veggie types can have a pie, they really leave nobody behind.

There are even the potato topped ones like shepherds, cottage and cumberland to add to the mix as well.

I like a meat and potato or a steak and ale myself, but will nom most pies as they are great.

Pie.
I make a good fish pie. Simply poach smoked haddock or cod with salmon in milk. Add to a casserole dish with a few prawns. Make a roux from the fish milk with flour. Mash spuds with milk and butter. Put on top with a bit of grated cheddar and thinly sliced tomatoes. Can also add boiled eggs. Pop in oven on 200 for 20 mins or so and hey presto.
