USA-all sweet fruity and sickly – no real meat pies -except for 2 I found with NZ and Aus links-one in Brooklyn and the other in Portland-otherwise not to my taste.

UK- pretty damn good-esp some of the stout and beef pies. Some a bit stodgy and without the variety and freshness that NZ ‘pois’ seem to have. Scottish pies are very interesting with a unique pastry and some interesting types-try a haggis pie!

AUS- next best to NZ also with some nice flavours and combos! Jaffle pies in WA (I think that this is a NZ coy??) have some nice types and are a bit different.

CHINA – have come across some nice and spicy types – flatter more like a pastie with thin crispy pastry and also some wrapped in a bread crust.

Still cant beat a good old Kiwi Steak and Kidney ‘poi’ though!!!
