I'm home alone this weekend without much to do, I think after this thread I'm going to have a crack at making one.

Better buy a few as well, just to be on the safe side - you can also use them to double check that you're doing it right........

Skipton is quite good for pork pies.

The shop by the bridge?

If you are in that direction, Lishmans in Ilkley and Weegmans in Otley are both excellent.

Both indeed excellent choices, but for even better go a little further north to Weatherheads in Grassington and Pateley Bridge.

Do you need another friend?

You utter bds, I'm supposed to be on a diet but thanks to this thread I've just nipped to the farm and bought a pork pie and a scotch egg.

I hate you all....

I love Boxleys, growing up in Kingswinford it was the best butchers around, brilliant for BBQ food!

I would guess that's a BMW 1 series

Z4?

[JKRolling]

4 series possibly then

[skilly1]

Nope

[JKRolling]

Could keep this going for a while! 2 series final offer!

[skilly1]

Nope, i3, thought the door material might give it away.

[JKRolling]

Ah yes, I always forget about those! You did only ask for the make of car though I believe!

Lovely pie btw

Hi Guys,
There is no doubt that a pork pie is one of the finest food items known to man. I am partial to a good, plain pork pie, with a nice, strong mustard or piccalilli. Of the pork pie variants, my personal favourite is a ploughman's version, containing a layer of cheese and pickle. Although the pie topped with a layer of cheese and baked beans sounded interesting. A pork pie should never be eaten straight from the fridge, it should be allowed to reach room temperature to enhance the flavour. I have tried to make my own pork pies, although the hot water pastry can be a bit tricky. The jelly is important and I have made it using a nice porky stock, gelatine and a small amount of calvados, to give a different bit of flavour.
There is a pork pie appreciation society, they can be found here; http://www.porkpieclub.com
