Elsewhere though, unless presented as intending to be a specific thing from down under, 'meat pie' is a lot less appetising than 'steak and kidney pie' or whatever, because who wants mystery meat (implicitly perhaps the cheapest odds and ends available).
Similarly though to be fair 'fish pie' in the UK & France at least is a slightly flexible mixed fish fare.
