I never understood American pies... I mean that pic of an apple pie is fine, but a lot of your supposed "pies" don't even have a lid, so they are not pies.

A pie has to consist of a filling plus a lid (usually pastry)...with the optional extra of a pastry base too. (if there is no base though the filling has to be held in some kind of dish/pot)

Rhubarb makes an excellent pie by the way.
