Based on what your template does, you don't seem to really want to combine a
dictionary with the key 'title' and the META dictionary. Rather you want a
dictionary with the key 'title' and the key 'meta_dict', with the value for
the 'meta_dict' key being the META dictionary:
def display_meta(request):
dct = {'title':'META items',}
dct['meta_dict'] = request.META
return render_to_response('polls/meta_dict.html', dct)
