Well my personal favourite is peerage pie . . . sort of like the '4 & 20
blackbirds baked in' one variety ;-)

I had seriously considered this for a feast.  Make one gigantic pie shell, insert
pelicans, laurels etc thru hole in bottom.  Wheel out & serve.  However, given the
singing standards of some of the volunteers that said they'd step in if I baked it
. . . I don't think 'dainty' dish would be the appropriate term for it!
