Meat pies can be good (I have no idea how they differ between here and elsewhere), but most of them are pretty foul. They used to have them at school, and the mince would be this really bright brown, and it would drip out everywhere, and... gross. Never could bring myself to eat one, although I'll quite happily munch away on the offally goodness of a sausage roll. However, pies with chunkier meat (and not from the el cheapo companies) are good. Don't generally have egg in them, though.
I never even knew that most places in the US didn't sell pasties until I read American Gods.
