    When I traveled to Great Britain a few years ago, I ordered whatever pie was on the menu at every restaurant we went to. They were my favorite food! I don’t remember if I had a pork pie, yours looked delicious!

    Enjoy your channel so much! Found this site to not waste scrapes. I made the carrot cake peel cake, which I paired with cream cheese icing. Very good!. If you're interested go to Carrot Peels Cake/The Scrapes/ Season 1/ Episode 10. Best wishes. Dale

    Looks lovely Jane we always brought pork pies over to France for our son. I must admit to liking Pate Encroute when in France, we do our own pickle onions and I will buy Melton Mowbray pork pie. Mike is a lucky chap it takes a great deal of love to make that pie enjoy ❤

    Just come back from shopping at Asda & Lidl, they have jars of duck or goose fat for £1:50 per 250g jar. That's cheaper than butter. I stocked up on loads. For breakfast I rub toast with garlic, spread on duck or goose fat and add salt to taste, yumm! I also use it in cooking as a butter replacement, loads more flavour.

    Fantastic! I’m not a big pork pie fan tbh, but it’s definitely a great thing to have over the holidays if people happen to drop in unexpectedly. Years ago this type of pie was made to “store meats” . They would use any kind of game meats and the pie would last weeks without being cut.The original frugal meal! Xx

    Takes me back, made this in Domestic Science – not only a lot smaller but we formed pastry round an upturned jar and cooked it free standing from what I remember – it was over 40 years ago!

    I can imagine that Mike might have been getting a bit excited as this pie was cooking with the lovely aroma wafting about. The aroma is so homey and inviting while it's cooking. Looks like he will be very happy for quite a while!

    My home town had two pork butchers. Greens was our preferred butcher. As a kid In the late sixties I would be sent on Christmas Eve to collect our "stand" pie from the butcher. Depending on who was with us over Christmas we would order either a 10" or 12" pie. When I arrived early morning the queue would already be a fifty yards long. I would have to wait around an hour to collect our order. The pie would be eaten on Boxing Day along with the Turkey leftovers and a buffet. When my eldest daughter was married six years ago she had a three later pork pie "cake" shipped down from home for the evening buffet. Proper food!

    A picky tea? Did you also have an ifits meal , i.e. if it’s here you can have it. Whenever my mum had lots of things leftover from the week, we’d have an ‘ifits’ meal

    Thanks for doing this recipe. I hope to try it someday. Thought the chutney was interesting- I make french canadian pork pie at Christmas & I've always liked chutney with mine. Never saw it served that way, but they just seemed to go together somehow.
