Got a bit peckish and nipped into a Co-op. They had a medium sized pork pie reduced to 65p
so I thought, I'll have that. Half now and half to take to golf next day. In my car and didn't
have a knife so nibbled away at it. Really enjoyed it at the half way stage. Best tasting pork
pie I could remember eating and that included ones from proper pig farms etc.
Came to the conclusion that it was because I was chobbling at it rather than at home where I
would cut it into segments and eat with a knife and fork with salad, tomato coleslaw etc.
Anyway, I ended up eating the lot and was a bit too full at the end. Amazing how eating stuff a different
way can make it much nicer!

So you've robbed yourself of tomorrow's treat through sheer greed and gluttony?

By:
Forbidden pork pie is the sweetest fruit.
|
|
By:
Yep. 500 calories and 140 grams of pure greed and gluttony.
https://www.coop.co.uk/products/co-op-melton-mowbray-pork-pie-140g That is the darling. I recommend the product. Just imagine how nice it would have been if it were fresh!  |

Once you get to a certain age this is the most fun you can have in a car with pork and jelly

I wouldn't downgrade the experience, Jack seems to have got quite a bit out of it.
Now he didn't mention in his first post that his stale red-hot bargain was a Melton Mowbray PP. So I hope he's not too disappointed if he's unable to pick up a second PP at a preferential rate of exchange, the next time he nips into a Co-op. |

I like to live life on the edge, Doc.
If there is another occasion when I feel a bit peckish, I may choose another product or indeed another supermarket. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I purchased a cone of chips from a well respected local fish and chips shop. That's how I roll. |

To live right on the edge you should have after eight mints at 19.59!!!

You really need a warm one with the jelly spurting all over as you bite into it.

I'll see your pork pie and raise you a gala pie - the King of all pork-based snacks.
|
|
By:
Well, I have a sincere apology to make. A grave mistake on my part.
The pie purported to be 140g was in fact 290g, so double the weight, double the calories and double the sheer greed and gluttony. I am unable to accept that a 'gala' pie is even a match for a traditional pork pie. Those I have eaten have been too fatty by half. Asda is too far for me to travel, but would be interested to hear others' tasting notes. |

Greta looks like she could do with getting a pie or two down her. No wonder she's always crying.
Do they still sell pork pies in Sweden? |

As main adjudicator on moral issues on here I will have to point out you may have upset some people with your wild assumptions Dr!!!

Very interesting Jack....
Questions.... How much "divy" did you get? "Chobbling"....I thought that was a made up word, but now see that it is a Midlands/Black Country (can we still say that?) word! If you had taken it to golf, would you have similarly "chobbled" it, or would that be considered to beneath club etiquette? |
|
By:
Alas, my origins are revealed.
I would have had a surreptitious chobble while surreptitiously changing my shoes in the car park (not etiquette) - although, it might not have been that surreptitious because we were in the only van in the car park. I calculate how posh the golf club is by the ratio of vans to cars in the car park. |

It's taken on a different meaning for some people. They've got their own Black Country Flag. ''In July 2017, West Midlands newspaper the Express & Star reported that then recently-elected local MP Eleanor Smith had described the flag as "racist" and "offensive" and wanted it to be scrapped, citing possible slavery connotations of the chain imagery and colours.[3] Responding to criticism, Smith said the flag made her feel "uneasy", and that she had been expressing the concerns of some constituents, but denied describing it as racist.[4] She was not re-elected in the 2019 General election.'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Black_Country Gertcha silly woman, Labour of course. She occupied Enoch Powell's old seat Wolverhampton South West. God rest his soul. |

mo, I was forced to use Greggs every lunch time last week. Only ever one or two steak or chicken bakes in view, sometimes none. But always a full tray and more of the meat free ones sat there. Not sure they've got their numbers right.

as a frequent visitor I would say their mild is something to be honoured
and as for the offence they would take it and the whole gate against someone like that so called politico |
|
By:
Chobbling his fittle on the car park eh?
|
|
By:
our world is being changed by a few noisy ones and the politicos will freeze afraid of being critical in any way - same with the book - 3 or 4 million votes plus endless supporters -
cling on to the fact we can get away with our views for a few years until we are gone we won't be around to having to pause friday bbc news to bow to the east |

Anybody heard of the Pie Factory in Tipton, I wonder if that's still open?
|
|
By:
I'm heading off to Lidl soon, will keep my eyes peeled for any Pork Pie Pleasures.

By:
a bit to close to my ex home town but yes the pit factory was open
and the brewery up the road old stamping ground but that would be ................ chamelions and green house darleston ho ho |

PIE!!!
|
|
By:
Jack would be judged effeminate round there eating pork pies that have been wrapped.
The local fare is cow pie like Desperate Dan in the Dandy eats. I heard a local ordering a steak, they said how would you like it? He said I like it rare, so just cut off it's horns and wipe it's arse and that'll do for me. |

PIE is another interesting subject relating to my party!!!!!!!!!!

thank you jack hacksaw , feckin brilliant mate keep em coming man
gala or pork pie , tough one i guess its down to ingredients , free range meat and pastry made by a baking wizard is the important thing tho tho eating meat is frowned upon these days , if your having one best do it in secret or risk being set about by vegans , they dont feck around these lads as anyone who has been whacked on the head with a lump of tofu will testify |

Best pork pie I have bought was from the posh butchers in Ulverston, highly recommended.!

Pork pie segments (8) mustard jubiley and that’s no pork pie.

Jubley why does it change to jubilee?

Sod it

Doc, I am familiar with Mad O'Rourke's Little Pub chain and his culinary work and have had a couple of Desperate Dan pies.

By:
Some will think I am depraved, but the best way to have a pork pie, is in a bowl with "Mushy Peas"....
That, unless the said pie is known to be at the pinnacle of quality! I'm certainly not a lover of the jelly, in some pies, but heated it isn't a problem, and does contribute to the flavour! |
|
By:
the jelly is mainly stock thus flavour , if said pie is made with quality ingredients
a lot is down to the pastry whch can be tasteless and dry , a good pie is only as good as the pastry thar surrounds it always give your pie a shake , if you hear the meat inside rattle i would avoid |
