History

The pot pie appeared around 9500 BC, as proven by the finds of archaeologists. The dish looked like this: the meat was mixed with other ingredients and baked in dough, from which a pot was previously made. It was called artocres and was also popular in Rome. Unlike the Greeks, the Romans used fish and seafood in addition to meat. In medieval Europe, the dish was also made often. When the American settlers migrated west, they took their favorite recipes with them, and pot pie was among them.
