I've seen both in pictures. I expect you mean like the pork pie Pip
steals from his sister in the 1946 film, Great Expectations. It, too,
was a round vertical cylinder. I thought it was small cake, at first,
until it was identified as a pork pie.

When I lived in CA, We had a small Brit grocery. Not many items, but
they carried pies made in the UK, though they looked like half sized
Swanson pot pies, alum pan and all. Regardless, they were all very
good. There was pork, kidney, steak/mushroom, stk/kdny, etc. All
excellent. I really enjoyed the stk/kdny pie.
