No-one makes pork pie
I beg to differ.
Hot pork pie from THE PIE ROOM by Calum Franklin. I finally got to use my pie dolly , and I’m really chuffed at how these turned out. Minced pork, chopped pork, bacon, spices and plenty of sage are baked in a hand raised, rosemary infused, hot water pastry crust. These are some work, but when the Big J’s reaction is “My God, these are good!” you know you’ve struck pie gold. It’s even better when one of the juniors, who I was fairly certain wasn’t going to like it, also gave me a Wow! This is goo…
Another stellar one is the Tourtiere du Shack from Martin Picard.
Tourtière du Shack by Au Pied du Cochon’s Martin Picard. I used the recipe he submitted to Bon Appetit in 2012. It’s rib sticking food that’s perfect for this cold weather. Yes, the crust alone uses a whole pound of butter, but who’s counting calories when you need to go out in sub zero temperatures? I try to make this at least once a cold season. It’s extremely good.

I also enjoy Jamaican patties, pasties, clangers, pâte en croute, steak and kidney, curry puffs and empanadas. I know I’m missing some because meat pies are luvverly.
