champers Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 After extensive research on my part I will plump for Stobarts brand in the frozen products aisle at Tops in Central Beach Road. They are available in standard size of 2 per pack or buffet size 6 per pack. Take out of the freezer in the morning and put in the fridge and they are ready for tea. I give them a 9 out of 10, 1 point deducted for no jelly. Delicious with a hard boiled egg or 2, mixed pickle (Hayward brand with caulie, thick sliced gherkin and cocktail onions) and a nice piece of extra mature cheddar. Enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post giddyup Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) As an Aussie never understood the appeal of pork pies. To me it's just a huge lump of pastry with a couple of tablespoons of greasy pork inside. Could be used as a boat anchor in a pinch. Must be an acquired taste like Vegemite.

Popular Post Postmaster Posted April 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2021 Don't forget that Tinnies Gourmet Pie Shop and Restaurant probably has the best pies of all descriptions. Lovely grub. Thrappaya Road, Jomtien, on the way down to the beach near the welcoming Arch, just before the Krungsri Bank and View Talay 7. Just saying. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were about the best i have come across but think they have gone down a bit since the pandemic started. I used to work at a factory in Sheffield and there was a farm on Jawbone that made pies. They started a van round to the factories. It came to us one day and the pies were still warm, memories of warm pies straight out of the ovens in Scotland came flooding back and without thinking bit into it. They were never short on jelly.

Surely Pork pies should be eaten cold, Re: Stobarts Pork pies, I am pleased Central Tops, imported them, the price also Ok, before them I just used to buy Yorkies, but none as good as a real Melton Mowbray proper pork pie.

As an apprentice I was sent to a nearby pie shop for breakfast orders. I had to arrive at the pie shop at exactly 09.40 to see the pies being brought out of the oven. A serious feat to get them back to work as they were red hot with the molten jelly spilling over the top of the pies. When qualified, my breakfast order was always the same, 2 Postlethwaites pork pies and 4 pints of milk. The perfect hangover cure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK for teatime too; one day I will post my sausage and carrot pasta dish recipe on the Western Food forum. A great Winter warmer so only really of use for 2 weeks of the year here and very instagrammable as it turns out a lurid dayglo orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they should be eaten cold, or you end up like me, losing the jelly all down your shirt. Scotch pies on the other hand are absolutely delicious hot or cold, but best straight from the oven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I suggest you try Big Cs Casino brand "Pate en Croute". Ok it's not called pork pie, it doesn't look like pork pie, but to me, at least, it tastes better than any of the above, and a slice or four go down well with beer and/or whisky! And yes, it's got a little bit of jelly, usually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a big fan of the black pudding pies that seem to be more and more popular back in the UK. First had one in Melton Mowbray of all places.

Biggest culinary find I ever had was when camping in Scotland. Nipped to the local village for the Sunday papers and smelt something special. Huge made on the premises bridies, straight out of the oven. So good that my then girlfriend sent me back for another. Pies have never been the same since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the shop one time and thought I would treat myself to some beef sausages, arm and a leg but the dog thought they were great. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
