Quote: JerryChicken "Today I have purchased a bun tray of six deep, not-sloping-sided, erm. things - not for the making of buns (although they will be very nice ones) but for six home made pork pies at xmas in the style of the Paul Hollywood recipe.
I worship at the table of the pork pie.'"
Now there is an altar worth worshipping at.
Quote: JerryChicken "Pork pies should ideally be consumed fresh and still warm from the baking.
The warm jelly dripping down your slobbering chops.
There be orgasm country.
Eating them cold is a poor second IMHO'"
I have wonderful memories of the little pork pies that my mother used to buy from a little baker's called Cakebread in Mossley – she'd served them heated through with baked beans for tea. Mmmmm.
Although a good pork pie – artisanal Melton Mowbray, for instance – can still be a thing of great pleasure when eaten colds. With good pickles and bread, as a sort of ploughman's.
