For anyone visiting the UK, and wishing to sample top quality pork pies, aside from the butchers that produce their own in Melton Mowbray, Taylor's of Darlington in the north east, and Waterall Brothers of Sheffield in the east Midlands both produce superb pork pies, as tested by my goodself😀.

We'll be there in a bit over a weeks time. Does anyone know if Morrison's cranberry topped pork pies are any good? We'll be stocking up on food for our two week canal boat holiday and their store is close to Etruria marina, Stoke on Trent.

I suggest you try some and then stock up if you like them, I am sure you will as they do sound good.

Morrisons have pork pies, as do all the other Brit supermarkets, perhaps except for Aldi. Big ones, little ones.:o

Over here the Melton Mowbray ones are the best.Not very keen on the others,cheers,Brian.

 

A few years ago one on of our UK visits, we stayed in a pub in Rutland. Decided to drive into Melton Mowbray - home of ye olde pork pie shoppe. When we arrived there, it was a Sunday morning and ye olde pork pie shoppe was closed. But got the real thing anyway from a supermarket nearby.:halo:

Best pastie I have ever had was at St Ives in the UK, a proper Cornish pastie in Cornwall and it didn't disappoint.

 

Cornwall - the ancestral home of the real Cornish Pastie.:cool: St Ives is a wonderful seaside town, very popular.

Spot on great pasties at St Ives, also Padstow and Polperro have great ones. Largest I ever had was at Dartmouth, about the size of a house brick. They make good Eccles cakes in the west country, they are super with Clotted Cream

Hi,my mrs makes the best kate and sydney pies and puddings (do you guys have puddings) in the world,imo lol.Here in the deep south of Italy they eat cows spinal cord,heart and lungs,half a sheeps head and tripe among other strange things.They dont like kidneys,I think its the superstition of it being a urinary organ.We have to order them 5 days in advance from our butcher,otherwise they will be in the bin.Cheers,Brian.

Aldi do in fact stock a very decent pork pie, some of the other ones sold in major supermarkets are not so nice, but you're always best to try one first before stocking up[emoji6].

Why has someone not started a franchise selling pies in the USA..

Years ago when I visited the USA there wasn't anywhere on our travels that sold them :(

Does anyone know why they don't sell them in the USA?

 

Lets hope you are cruising and can enjoy a meat pie while on board.

perhaps their tastes are not sophisticated enough.

I'm catching up on a few days of CC but as soon as I read "Cornwall" in this food thread I started craving clotted cream and then I remembered Eccles Cakes too.
