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
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?
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.
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!!!!!!
oh and whilst i’m being honest, i have to cross the road to avoid walking past those ‘greggs’ shops, the smell always has, and continues to, make me physically gag. BLEUGH!
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.
