do pork pies need jelly

[shouldbeinbed]

I like the jelly and the meat, its the pastry I leave.

Try this pork pie substitute recipe courtesy of Slimming World. You could probably get away with not bothering with the 'crust' in the oven.

Pork Pie
1 small tin Pek gold
2 slices of wholemeal bread
1 beaten egg
Roll the slices of bread with a rolling pin then use the meat tin as a cutter and cut the top and base out of one slice.
Cut the other slice of bread in half and use the egg to bind and shape it to the Pek.
Cook in the oven on 180 until brown approx. 20 mins
half way through cooking brush with remainder egg to give a pasty glaze.
Enjoy hot or cold.

Pie eating is a broad church. There's room for everyone.

I used to know someone who worked where sausages and pork pies were made. When he told me one of the ingredients that was permitted to be in pork pies but not sausages, I never looked at pork pies the same way again. Still not sure if he was pulling my leg.

You'd be put off a lot of meat based products if you thought too much about them meanwhile I'll contine to enjoy:

Liver
Black pudding
Lambs hearts
Haggis (heart lungs and liver)
Sausages in natural casings (intestines)
Kidney

You forgot ox tongue and sweetbreads.
I quite like all on your list, except lambs' hearts. As for the jelly, I really don't want that crap lining the walls of my arteries, thank-you very much indeed.

No I didn't. I listed the things that I ate.

The jelly is the component of the pie that is least likely to clog your arteries. It's proteins and peptides. The crust and the pork filling is where you'll find the fat.

Can a bad pork pie be converted into a good pork pie by smothering in brown sauce?

most definately no sauces needed .

how many other local to me members have Tried some of the Pies up at Beckworths , some taste nicer than others

Hot PP with jelly =
Cold PP with Jelly =
Hot PP without Jelly =
Cold PP without Jelly -

That is my conclusion.

A pork pie without jelly is not a pork pie!
