Pork pies are one of my favourite foods - especially with a hardboiled egg in the middle.
Not sure of anywhere near Stoke that does them, but the best ones I have had are from a pub in Bewdley, Worcestershire called the Great Western - they do a whole variety of different flavours of pork pie and they are exquisite.
Another pork pie fan, love them. Thanks for the Bewdley tip, I'm not too far from there so will have to check it out at some point or another.Not sure of anywhere near Stoke that does them, but the best ones I have had are from a pub in Bewdley, Worcestershire called the Great Western - they do a whole variety of different flavours of pork pie and they are exquisite.

Pork pie's are such a guilty pleasure of mine, I like the deli ones from sainsbury's, they've gone up by 10p in the last couple of months though, not happy.
On the subject of guilty pleasures in relation to savory snacks, black pudding scotch eggs are mine!

I don't mind the occasional one, but only eat it cold.
Some say, ketchup goes well with a pork pie?
That is the work of Satan. Ketchup with Pork Pie! Anathema!Some say, ketchup goes well with a pork pie?
Mustard.
Pork Pie should be eaten at room temperature.
That is all.

Isn't that a Gala Pie?Anyways, Morrisons do a good Gala/Pork Pie and sell it by the slice, definitely worth a try before you go all Artisan Hipster and end up paying £6 for one, it's sold as a slice about the size of a slice of bread and you can tell them how thick you want it cut.
They can also order you a whole Pie in, you know for "parties" or something, it's about the size of one and a half loves of bread and weighs a ton. I used to take one over to the lads in Spain when I visited. Used to cost under £20 for an entire one, bloody lovely.

Yes, that's a Gala Pie. It's not a Pork Pie (as in Melton Mowbray terminology) - and a PP does not come in slices !!Anyways, Morrisons do a good Gala/Pork Pie and sell it by the slice, definitely worth a try before you go all Artisan Hipster and end up paying £6 for one, it's sold as a slice about the size of a slice of bread and you can tell them how thick you want it cut.

I'm a porkie lover, and the cheapest nastiest porkies are the best.
Specifically supermarket jobbies, none of that butchers shop snobbery thank you very much.
Sorry, whoever came up with Tesco's version of a PP needs to be locked away for a very long time. I hate to think what harm they might be doing to people over the longer term !Specifically supermarket jobbies, none of that butchers shop snobbery thank you very much.
