Title: A Melton Mowbary pork pie
Post by: Bandit127 on 04 October 2008, 20:02:56
is now officially made somewhere in the general direction of Melton Mowbary. After 10 years of indecision.

Good to know our EEC tax euros are being well spent.  :y >:( ;D

Melton Mowbray pork pies are a joy to behold & not to be confused with overpriced supermarket offerings with melton but not mowbray on the packaging.
   Same with cornish pasties. Ginsters? my arse. You have to get 'em fresh from the west Country.

Last year I think, Cornish pasties are made in Cornwall. Funny, but they didn't exclude Ginsters which, although in Cornwall are clearly not Cornish pasties.

Oh well, no one said they were perfect...  ;D

There used to be a genuine pasty shop in WOrcester but he went bump - they used to know me as I had them regularly.

The bloke who owned the shop used to run Rollins in Falmouth - then upset everyone but shutting down (only to open aas Falmouth Pasty Co in Worcester).

Has Bowyers closed? Was a big employer when I lived there. Not much else job wise round there unless you want to work on a farm.

The name "Ginsters" on any food product makes me feel ill. It's sacrilige to call them a cornish pasty.

Where's the pastry, for a start? Not a 2mm thick coating that crumbles all  over the interior of your car as soon as you open it. (car - because a motorway service station is the only place likely to strike up enough desperation to try to eat one)

The local butchers does a very nice pork pie. I really don't like the supermarket ones where even the pastry seems to be soaked in grease.

Close. A mate of mine was tooking into some Irish Stew from Aldi some years back whilst we were at work. Then he went a strange pale colour, chucked the spoon in the bowl & shoved it across the table.
He said after about 30 seconds of recovery "have a look in there". I had a shoofty & i found a cows eyelid complete with eyelashes.
He never ate Irish Stew gain :P :P :P :P
