ISO meat pies

[non sequitur]

The local bakery in highland village (East Scarborough) went under in the past year, and I've lost my source for meat pies. I'm sure they didn't make them from scratch, but rather bought them wholesale uncooked, then baked them in house. I started eating these when they were sold at the shopsy's counter within loblaws 35+ years ago, and now I'm suffering without my essential comfort food.

These are not scotch pies, though they are often sold side-by-side. They are like mini-tourtière pies, in a metal tin. Anyone know where I can find these, preferably in scarborough/pickering?

But 'n' Ben is a Scottish bakery and butcher. They have locations in Pickering and Scarborough. I've only been to the Scarborough location which is on Ellesmere near McCowan. It's considered their "butcher" shop, but it carries all of their baked goods including meat pies for immediate eating or for reheating at home. They also rent kilts! Maybe the Pickering location has even more baked goods?

Close enough to make a trip, though these look more English style (steak and kidney), than the regular ground beef ones I'm after. My father will love this place though, so thanks for the lead!

I've just recalled another place: Highland Fish & Chips on Ellesmere right by the UofT Scarborough campus. I think they have both the chunky and minced variety of meat pies. I have only been once and it was a few years ago. It is a sit down place so would be better than But 'n' Bens if you want to take your Dad.

No Scarborough, but Flaky Tart on Mt. Pleasant makes lovely meat pies.

I've seen them mentioned here for butter tarts also, so that might be worth a trip.

Yes, her butter tarts are my favourite in the city. And you might want to call ahead about the meat pies. They usually have a stock in the freezer, but if you have a special request for a certain number, it's good to be safe. They have both tourtieres and British-style pies.

High Street Fish and Chips at 55 Underhill (DVP and Lawrence) makes their own beef/chicken pies in-house. The pastry is wonderful and they're not skimpy with the meat. A bit pricey, but worth the money.
