Subby, how dare you sully the reputation of a what is practically a bacon-based recipe?

Never had one but after looking it up online, they look pretty darn tasty. I find that the area I'm in, southeast Massachusetts near Rhode Island, is the destination of pork pie devotees from all over the United States:

A century of savoring a juicy bit of Brittania. At least it was, two years ago when the article was written. Hartley's Pork Pies are sold in Lincoln, RI and Somerset, MA while "Hartley's Original Pork Pies" are sold in Fall River, MA.

This is offal.

I try to have a pork pie at least once a day. Lovely things.
A bit of Daddies sauce on the side, nothing better. Scrummy.

Sun God: This is offal.

No, it's not.

not sure what a pork pie is, but it sure sounds tasty.

mmmm.....pork....

Love pork pies, with Branston pickle. I live in the US now, so I make my own. My son loves them too.

On to the sausage rolls and pasties!

Your loss Subby, more for us.

LOVE me some pork pie! I miss a good ploughman's that includes a quarter with pickle, fresh bread, a good tasty cheddar and a pickled onion.

/swoon
/Melton Mowbray FTW

Little slice o' heaven...


/not really

This on the other hand...

HP, you uncouth yob you.

I do like a melton mowbray with branston pickle and a packet of Walkers Cheese n onion.

Nice to see that at least someone in this thread knows what they are talking about.

i hate limeys as much as the next guy, but dissing pork pot pies?

that's a stabbin.

So looks like we're not going to have to say goodbye to 'em after all....

HP's is good, but Daddies has a different kind of goodness.
Normally, I would be defending HP's to the hilt for most foods, but in the case of cheap, dodgy pork pies, Daddiess is somehow infinitely better. Fruitier?

Insolent: This on the other hand...

Those were always lovely. My father always made a point out of bringing one back after visiting his parents. Can't get near them now out of sentimental attachment.

What, no blood pudding? Liters....

Good news for Melton Mowbray! Break out the _{New York} Champagne!

I prefer these:

I live in Georgia, near an AFB, and a British store opened nearby, and they sell all kinds of Brit stuff, like REAL Cadbury Milk Bars, and crisps, and Spotted Dick, and clotted creams, and Golden Syrup, and all kinds of candys, teas, chocolate biscuits, digestives, canned items and some refrigerated ones of bangers and pork pies and other things...mmmmm expensive as hell....but mmmmmm

///go in and buy the Cadbury Chocolate Biscuits...best things ever....

to ensure the inside is grey in colour.

Oh man, I'm usually against ethnic stereotype humor, but that's too perfect of a quote on British food too ignore.

/Just kidding

///I also like pork pies, is all

Lies get "protected status" in the EU? They're thick as flies in America.

I came in here for this reference. I leave satisfied.

Came for the CMOT Dibbler references.

/not disappointed

Subby is talking out of his arse. Dont knock until you have tried.

/Butt sex - ideal example.

- and there's "Yes, Prime Minister" reference, I am a happy man.

DMOT Dibbler approves.

Only if you're doing it right.

English food looks bad, and it's a little bland, but you get used to it and start to crave it. It's like comfort food.

OregonVet: I prefer these:

That looks tasty, what is it?

The inside of a pork pie should be a nice pink colour.. and should be eaten with lashings of piccalilli.... the pie crust should be golden and light...

submitter doesn't know good food... pork pies are one thing we're good at here in the UK.

/wants a pork pie smothered in piccalilli....
//NOW.

Or a hot pork and apple pie...

What a bunch of culinary Calibans. I have English mustard and pickled onions with mine.

deepyell: That looks tasty, what is it?

Cornish pasty. They are excellent if made properly. There are some chain restaurants that do very good pasties, so you don't even need to go to Cornwall to get them.

ChaoticLimbs: English food looks bad, and it's a little bland, but you get used to it and start to crave it. It's like comfort food.

Agree, in principle. But i wouldn't say that English food was bland. It is seasoned, but it certainly isn't spicy. I really like Cornish pies, English breakfasts, double Devon cream, and anything else they were making before the industrial age.

I would guess that most people form their opinions from low end (bargain) dining in London. Unless you are eating ethnic food, the budget dining experience in London can be dreary.

Probably the best meal I've ever eaten in London was a Cornish pasty I bought from some little shop in London. If I lived there, I'd probably eat one every day.

I dunno, a porkpie can be a nice thing.

Pork pies are a gift from the FSM and proof that he loves the British the most. Since I moved to the US I had to start making my own, along with Lincolnshire sausages, instead of the evil we get here, scotch eggs, cornish pasties and other real food. Sure its bland and boring and annoying, but its still real to me damnit.

Thanks!

Does this protect pork pies or does it protect us from them?

If you can handle making and rolling dough, they're not at all hard to cook yourself. Plus you can fill them with whatever you want. I have them at least once a month and I make a couple dozen at a time so I can enjoy them all week...

Subby is a fool -

A good slice of cold pork pie with some Branston's Pickle is magnificent.

/In Scotland this counts as a salad.
