I spent sunday afternoon making my first ever Pork Pie...

(and I decided that I should share my triumph visually with STW)

Yumm... 20cm of porky pie goodness...

Anyone else cook anything good this weekend?

Sorry Woody - but that's the only pickle I had... And I don't consider it shameful... part of my Burton-upon-Trent heritage is Branston...

Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall's River Cottage Meat Book

Now, not being familiar with this book, can i assume the pie was quite a lot of time, a fair amount of work and totally worth the effort (ie as good as the pics suggest)?

I was actually surprised at how simple it was... Don't get me wrong it took a while to do (I started the stock at 11 and probably finished the whole thing at about 3 - much of which was admittedly waiting round for various stages to be ready)

It was also quite a bit of effort (chopping up the pork shoulder to little 5mm cubes for example)… But it was actually straight forward... Nothing was too technical which meant I could just merrily work away with the radio on…

It was absolutely worth the effort... Omm Nomm Nommm...

Egg in the middle? It's 20cm across... The egg'd get lost...

(unless I put an Ostrich egg in... that could be amazing!)

How does that work anyway? I assume you have to cook the egg first them pack the meat around it... but doesn't the egg get massively overcooked?

I haven't eaten *all* of it (only half...)

If there is only one cookbook you ever buy make sure its Hugh's Meat one. The chilli is to die for. [i]Goes off to see if there is any mince in the fridge![/i]
