View Full Version : Pork Pies- what do you look for
Pork Pies could well be the greatest thing ever invented :love:
but what do you look for in a prime pork pie?
Id have to say firm meat- not soft, a nice decent sized amount of jelly. A very firm base, slightly greasy, then crumbly sides but not moist. The Mobray variety have served me the best so far, but the hunt continues!
pattricia 05-10-2007, 22:40 I like the pork to be really pink and not grey. I also think the pastry should be thin and crispy.
Newboulds pork pies...the best ever!!
:D
Any pork pie slightly heated and smothered in relish is a winner for me :D
D2J You beat me with the relish but what about the sloppy peas as well yum.
M&S used to do a really mean p pie!:)

Ashcroft 08-10-2007, 18:41 i usually look for beetles in a pork pie before i eat them. relish and peas are a winner
I prime one from Tesco today. Only went in for some pasta and milk, but left with a stonking great Pork Pie which i ate on the way home. Oh yes, Obesity never tasted so good!
I had an award winning pork and black pudding pie in a pub at Ribblehead last weekend - fantastic!

My nephew always , always takes the top off pork pies , puts Branston pickle on top then replaces the lid and eats it :D

Having a pork and apple sausage tonight.. wait a minute, any pork? I thought all pork was the same.:confused:
cressida 10-05-2008, 17:47 I like the pork and pickle ones in a brown capped tube from Tesco - mini ones, or Melton Mowbray mini pork pies (pickle)
Morrisons do a Vale of Mowbray pie and for 49p its really nice. But I like most pork pies, sliced in half with a bit of sald cream to dip it into :)
