The jelly is the best bit!

Got to agree with the captain

Anyway... you shouldn't be asking us. This is a gilt-edged opportunity to check out every local butcher and baker within a 15 mile radius.

I just googled 'fist pie' after one of ton's favourite sayings.

I rather wish I hadn't now.

at my classic bike club we hold a little pie club once a month.. we ve had sweet and savoury.. mostly cold but i once turned up and offered hot pie and peas/ mint sauce in the middle of a wood one fine sunday a.m.

the jelly is an essential in your pork pie.. preferably runny

Excellent pies, was there quite recently.

The website is obviously a bit naff and doesn't do justice the wondrous creations on offer

its the jelly bit that's put me off pies for most of my life, recently i've discovered, and dont hurt me for admitting this, the tescos mini pork pies are very low jelly and quite tasty for a cheap pork pie... was wondering if there's any that are zero jelly? why is it even in there?

Think of the jelly like you would a substrate that underpins all matter in the universe. You might like it more that way. 🙂

nope, its the same stuff i used to fork out the dog food cans when we decided the dogs deserved a treat and got tinned food instead of gravel.

you jelly eaters.... you're the kinda sick individuals who eat the wet fat on undercooked bacon or the fatty bits from the meat in a roast meal aren't you?! you disgust me.

Wtf? Why would you want a pie without jelly?

Jelly is what makes such pies full of awesome.

Cheap tesco pork pies are made form bacon.. Bite into any pork pie and the filling is pink then its made from bacon..

grey filling = Proper Pork PIE!

That said I used to make and sell my own when I was butchering, customers used to queue out of the door for them when they were hot! Dont think i often had many left to sell cold.

The hole in the top of a decent pork pie is there to pour the jelly into once baked, to fill the gap left by the shrinkage of the meat when cooked...... mmmmmmmmm pies!!!!!!

but the gap is good for ensuring the pastrythingy the meats wrapped in goes nice and crispy surely?

bacon's not a bad thing

anyone using pork as the bench mark for a pie needs their mouths washing out

steak pies fae flemmings the butcher are where its at.

even their scotch pies are streets ahead of pork pies.

Then theres the pie butty - take said steak pie , heat it in microwave if its not already warm.

stick the pie into a fresh floury bap

squirt on a dollop of tommy K and eat .... LOVELY

my parents used to joke, i say joke... but it always came across as more than that, that they'd call social services from a phonebox to report themselves so that we would be taken away for the summer holidays.

also, i never had a games console and we never had crisps in the house.

Are we allowed to make an exception for Shepherd's Pie (and the non-lamb Cottage Pie variety)?

And the lack of [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fao-ton-and-binners-the-full-english-breakfast-pie ]link to this classic thread[/url] is a big fail.

God save us from piedamentalists.

'Look at the sausage roll - it containeth both meat and pastry, yet it is not a pie.'

A bought pie is like a bought sausage: it's best not to look too closely. MTFU and eat the jelly.

Please forgive me.

I'm northerner who has left the promised land of pies and pudding to the home of the black pint.

There are only so many steak and kidney puddings, pork pies and spotted dicks I get bring home fresh with me when the pull of the the north grwos so great. So from time to time I stray from the path of rightousness and get a pie from tesco's. They are universally poor - but as the OP has set the criteria - the deli ones have zero jelly in.

Pork scratchings don't exist over here either ;(

Trail rat + 1. Pork pies are dull, and the jelly is disgusting. Most English food like that is, come to think of it - faggots wtf?. English black pudding, when compared to Stornaway, tastes like it should be applied to a wound, not eaten.
