Floating Chamber Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) This morning I purchased* a pot-bellied, hand-raised pork pie that, to my palate, beats all others. Made by Pat Gorman, Bloxwich, it is delicious. The pastry is crisp, the jelly outstanding and the dark, spicy, pork filling is like nothing I have tasted in my sixty-odd years. No lumps of fat or chewy gristle. What's your favourite pork pie? * and it was from Aldi on 'special', £1.69!

Lord Geordie Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 i like the square one with the egg in it from morrisons delli, mmm Think you will find thats a GALA pie! Personally I am VERY fussy when it comes to a Pork Pie as I am not a lover of the gelatine I prefer a Pie with little to NO gelatine but like the Pork and pickle and sausage and onion ones too :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danccooke Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Whilst on pies, Tesco really annoys me, the deli counter sells Gala pie OR Gala Pie WITH EGG. *** either it is a Gala Pie or a Pork Pie. A gala pie without egg is just a Square Pork Pie. Don't get me started on Pear Cider and Perry. grrrrrrrr. Anyway I love pork pies, any pork pie some are marvelous and some are just about ok but meat in a pie is always good. I tried a load at the CLA this year and there were some truly amazing ones, sadly I can't remember what they were called. Damn I will just have to go again this coming year.

huntercarbine Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Dickinson and Morris pork pies are very tastey ,a bit pricey but worth it Yes, these are the best, no matter what flavour you have they are all delicious. As are their hot sausage baps(spicy chinese sausage in particular). Fortunately i live in melton mowbray so a visit to "ye old pork pie shop" is a 20 minute walk. I also have a relative who works at tuxford&tebbits so i get fridge filling wedges of stilton for free. :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I've never been a real follower of Pork Pie but do enjoy it when its served up on occasion. But just like sausages, I prefer one where the meat speaks more than the spices mixed with it, if that makes sense. The wife did buy a Pork n Stuffing one once, that was rather tasty though.

jonno 357 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I like the meat but hate the jelly and crust so that goes in the bin. The thought all that lard is revolting :look: Even the meat can be fatty and grissley yuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap Cap Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Any pork pie will do me. Got a dirty great one in the fridge with "not to be eaten before Christmas" warning all over it, its a Marks and Spencer jobby so bound to be nice with a dash of mustard pickle.
