I'm afraid pie on this day is another American thing (at least to my and mine).
Some people might have eaten pies, but chances are they will have been savoury, meaning non-sweet.
I had a jacket potato, the 'rents are having pasta.

They are already selling mince pies in the shops (sweet mincemeat, mentioned before).
But I'm not a great fan.

My favourite pie is a Pieminister Moo and Blue Pie.
Beef and Stilton.
But it's the wrong time of the week AND the wrong time of the month (payday wise) to have one.

Note to self - never go to the US during Thanksgiving. You will come across as a surly furriner, not really liking sweet pies, or nuts, or pumkins or anything candied.

There's a few of us about I miss meat and potato pies from the chippy.

Sounds yummy, but what is it, exactly?

Never mind, it's a pot pie

If you get it from the chippy, is it deep fried?

Pie is not required. You can fake American by eating vast quantities of turkey and dressing. Prolly be some of that string bean/cream of mushroom soup/fried onion rings stuff too. Definitely be some mashed potatoes.
