My freezer has been replenished!
I asked for a pork pie. I should have been much, much more specific. What I had in mind was a Melton Mowbray pork pie like this. Despite the pie being labelled “traditional” and despite my being born and raised in the UK, I admit to not being familiar with this strange hybrid.
Since it came with heating direction I knew that I was not in the presence of the kind of pie that I was hoping for. (Any pork pie that I have had has been eaten cold.) So I followed the heating directions — 350°F for 20 minutes.
Hmmm. I added a little of this chutney to the plate and made it at least sort of of edible.
The pastry was really hard to get down.
Curious to know how many of you have eaten a pork pie such as this.
edited to add: @Kerry Bealsorry! I’m not really the ingrate that I sound! I should have been more specific.
