I don't eat meat now, but when I did I remember biting into a hot pie as it (in fact, only the pastry) seemed cool enough.Interesting point that.
I can't stand warm or hot pies. Have to be cold for me.
Which is why I always go for a burger or similar. With a cuppa.
Not sure why I've never even considered taking me own pie with me.
