Marks and Spencers.......Ploughman's Pork Pie.
Try it.

[Jackdaw33]

You got M & S in Menorca?

[wolf63]

Decades ago they used to sell pork pies that had a nice outer shell and tasty meat. They then 'improved' the recipe and they were almost chewy.

[ummmm]

So unlike you :-)

I don't like pork pie...well I don't like the pastry and I'm a bit 'meh' about the meat.

[Sqad]

Jack...no...we have "stuff" flown in.

[bednobs]

I like pork pies a lot, but not when they've been interfered with as it sounds like in this case!

[bednobs]

So we're clear putting eggs in is not interfering

[Jackdaw33]

I believe pork pie with egg is called Gala pie. Comes in a big oblong and is sold by the slice.

[Sqad]

bednobs.......I know ! I know! but i ALWAYS have Branston Pickle OR chutney with pork pies.
I always thought that you wouldn't object to a little "interference" :-)

[bednobs]

You can get round ones in morrison JD. Not that they're as nice as m and s probably

[bednobs]

Not where pork pies are concerned. In other matters maybe

[bednobs]

Ps salad cream (aka food of the gods) rather than pickle

[Mamyalynne]

If it has good jelly content I'm sold, sounds lovely.

[237SJ]

Are you joking? You don't know what is hidden in that pork.

[ethandron]

As these came so highly recommended by sqad, whilst in m&s earlier I bought two.
I'm not a pork pie lover myself but the men in the family are, as is our Swedish branch who is currently here with us.
Their verdict is that it's very nice but not as good as a melton Mowbray pie.

[hereIam]

I'll try it, it sound delish !

[Mamyalynne]

Any jelly in them Eth?

[ethandron]

It's nice enough as a pork pie but you can't taste either the cheese or the chutney.

[ethandron]

A very small amount mamy, not like in a traditional pork pie.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, thank you.

Nicest pork pies I ever had were from a tiny bakery in Ludlow - still warm from the oven.

Bought some to take home too and when they were cold the jelly was divine.

Not only Marks, you know. I buy these regularly from Waitrose...
