I definitely appreciate a well made pork pie every once in a while. It's great to see that there are companies still making them by hand so you know that a lot of effort and love has been put in to making them. It's something that's becoming rare but is still appreciated in my opinion
If we had those in the United States, I'd probably be eating the hell out of them. I recon these make a good working man's meal at lunch, since they're typically not heated.
I'm not a fan of the jelly inside unless its bought when still warm and the jelly hasn't set. A lot of manufacturers realise a lot of people arent keen on the jelly so they reduce the amount they put in.
My favourite pork pie is still warm. They're also nice cold, but they're a different dish, to eat with salad or something. But if eating it as a dinner, with potatoes etc... it has to be warmed. I think it can be warmed and eaten with self-respect intact.
Great video featuring smaller scale manufactured pies, no doubt from the proper 'Melton Mobray' designated area. If anyone wonders who makes the best large scale produced pork pie, then 'Pork Farms' is the first name that springs to mind. Unlike some supermarket-bought pies, theirs contain no colouring added to the meat, so it looks grey instead of an artificial pink.
The video is well done and explains the individual steps of the production in a comprehensible way. 👍 I was completely unaware of the pork pie. The video made me very hungry. 🍽
I'm a 50 year old brit with a 50 year old brit wife. Only when he said we never eat them warm did we realise that's true. Never once had I ever thought of heating them but wasn't aware of it!
Some Coles supermarkets in Australia have recently started selling these in their deli section's self serve area. The only other places that I know of where you could purchase them from are British and Irish butchers who own and operate their own business.
@Midnight Toker Actually I don't drink at all and I smoke every day, my point was a single joint would not make you a drug addict. If he has one drink with dinner he is very far from an alcoholic.
Just to be clear. Sigh. Whenever I eat a pork pie I DON’T ALWAYS HAVE A DRINK WITH IT. That’s just a serving suggestion, like what you see on the packaging of most of the food you eat. Tut.
There is a place in the town I live in that does their own porkpies and they are almost always sold out of them but every so often if I’m lucky I get too order some before hand.
Yeah, the point of a pork pie is the primary flavour is pork. You clearly haven't had good quality meat if you insist that it must have the actual flavour drowned out.
@@thomasjackson1075 i haven't eaten the dish i mean, like yeah i get it's a pork pie but you can still put seasoning in it to give it more substance. all I was saying lol
Thwaits market in Methuen Massachusetts has dozens of different kinds and they ship them anywhere! Quite a different process of making them too. These guys are a bit weird?
who discovered simmering pigs trotters for 9 hours in water would release the natural jelly? mmm Pig Jelly. yeah? keeps the meat moist in the pie. you don't want dry meat. now flavour that gelatine with cherry or strawberry flavourings. mmm Strawberry Pig Jelly.
Humans have been boiling bones and certain parts of animals for ages. Bones release marrow while the rest releases fat and other contents. Broths are usually made this way, same with how bones are usually put in stews or soups to add flavor. Not hard to think people would boil pigs feet in order to make a natural jelly
Wait. *Legally?* There is a literal law stating that only people in Melton Mowbray can call them Melton Mowbray pork pies? That's an actual, for real law?
They look very good and hearty. I bet they’re really delicious! Kudos to everyone who didn’t complain about the gloves either :) (Though with COVID, I wonder what they’re going to do until everybody gets vaccinated?)
