I've just been reading the DM article about Mary Berry's pies, which apart from her double wotsits discusses whether or not a pie is still a pie if it's only crusty on top.
Can any Scots refresh my memory? Did/do ashet pies have pastry sides and bottoms?

I would call a pie something you could pick up, like a pasty, otherwise it is a casserole with a lid.
I agree with you, saddo, though Fray Bentos beg to differ. However, I'm asking about a traditional pie sold by Scottish butchers in a metal dish called an ashet.
As an aside, every dog in Scotland eats its dinner out of an ashet. You can't get your money back on them, you see, and you build up quite a collection over time.

looked up an ashet recipe and it was a casserole with a lid, there could be regional variations though.
Thanks, saddo. For some reason I never thought of searching recipes. 
I do prefer a casserole with a lid, no good at a football match though.
Mary's athritic hands reminds me of the scene in Scary movie 2 - with the butler cooking the food. he was a deformed left hand. the serving up of the food is hilarious.
