I have a question about savoury pies.  When served at our house when I was growing up, they were served hot, with gravy.   But I've seen that pork pies are served cold or room temperature.  Is that ONLY pork pies - or other pies also.  Would it be ok to eat them hot?  Or not.  I'm toying with trying to make a traditional hot water pastry pork pie, but I don't think I'd care for cold pork pie.  

Until I posted here I have never eaten or heard of a hot pork pie. In my opinion it is much more of a terrine than anything else — terrine in a pastry crust.  Terrines are served cold. I would love to get @liuzhou’s take on it. I would expect a slice of pork pie to be served on a plate with an assortment of pickles, perhaps a little mustard.
