Melton Mowbray Pies: the Tradition
Hi Hotpotters
 I need your help: Can anyone find the History of Melton Mowbray pies being easten on Boxing day? I am sure the history of these classic British foods is that they are eaten for BREAKFAST on Boxing day, but I cant find proof. Can you guys un-earth anything? Cheers PS: Sainsbury's make the best mass produced ones. AVOID Tesco's ...they;re horrible and pink inside.   |

We always had one at home as the centrepiece of the cold buffet @ lunch &/or tea time. as for brekky I always like to cook a classic bubble & squeak (with the addition of sprouts too
)

I had a Ginster's Melton Mowbray Pork Pie from a Services yestaday. It was pricey, but back in the car boy was it worth it.
Zak Edit:That is a good, funny post

I only really like the pastry on a pork pie, yummm i love how it's all crumbly, i'll very often eat the pastry and leave the pork bit, doesn't go to waste, either Jon or the Dog will eat it
