Either those pies are in pans, or that's a mighty tough crust.  See the diner snitching one off the board, and passing another to his table mate, and the kid hugging his to his breast.  I don't know of a water paste crust that could hold up to that kind of use.  I know a short crust wouldn't even come close.

I think you may mean "Peasant Wedding" by Pieter Brueghel the
Elder.
