A bridie or Forfar bridie is a Scottish type of meat pastry or pie, originally made in the town of Forfar, similar to a Cornish pasty in shape, but the pastry is not as hard and no potato is used. It is made of minced beef, sometimes with onions and spices, placed on rolled-out pastry and folded into a semi-circular shape; the whole thing is baked in an oven.

Forfar bakers traditionally use shortcrust pastry but similar products on flaky pastry or puff pastry are occasionally found.

The contents of the bridie are indicated by the number of holes in the top; one hole signifies that no onions are in the ingredients and two holes indicates onions have been used.

It is the subject of the Dundee Scots shibboleth "Twa plenn bridies an ingan ane an aa"cite web |url= http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/scotland/Jute-jam-and-student-gibberish.3311151.jp |title=Scotland on Sunday Retrieved on July 20 2008 ] ("Two plain bridies and an onion one and all", "an aa" being Dundonian for "as well").

In the new healthy living society of today, many people are against this form of cuisine due to the high fat content and many have enquired to various bakers about making a healthier option such as meat free, veggie or even just substitution of the fat used in them with sunflower oil.

Some Scots think that the shape of the Forfar bridie was inspired by the town's Balmashanner Hill.
