A small meat pie or pastry, especially one that is chewy or requires chewing.
Possibly from chew + -et (diminutive suffix), or related to chevet (a type of pastry), with the meaning becoming specifically associated with a small chewy pie.
Chewet is a delightfully obscure medieval food word—imagine trying to order one in a modern bakery and watching the confusion spread across the baker's face.
