Eat for Christmas morning breakfast.
Is it really Melton Mowbray pork pie and Colston Bassett stilton.
Sounded lovely. Thought I might give it a try this Xmas.
Any suggestions?

Do you have the pie and the cheese together for breakfast?

Glass of Buck’s Fizz and the crispy bacon bits off the top of the turkey.

It's a mini ploughman's, pork pie, stilton, some pickle, a drop of your favourite tipple.

Well that's my take. I must admit that I miss the queue outside Walkers waiting for the criggy pork pie/s.

 

[HughJanus]

[Weller]

Surely George , a nice dish of jellied eels followed by pie mash and liquor more your style???

As the only Leicestershire person in the house I have a large slice of Dickinson & Morris pork pie to myself. My family being my wife from York ( I throw in Richard iii every now and then) and my southern shandy drinking twin boys think I’m mad. It’s the only time of the year I eat it as it’s basically a heart attack on a plate. Bloody delicious.

Rich tea fingers dipped in coffee, the timing is essential.

Colston Bassett Stilton is creamier than Long Clawson Stilton which is crumblier and slightly saltier Soho, but both go well with the Dickenson and Morris famous Melton Mowbray pork pie on Christmas morning...enjoy and Merry Christmas

Pork pie with some bread and butter.

It's essential you get a quality pork pie though.
Such as Dickinson and Morris, Walkers or Mrs King's.

Also Brockleby's (near Melton) and Joseph Morris at South Kilworth are quality pies.

Best knowing they're made within the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Triangle

Yuck!!!!!! Horrible muck.

 

[bannedontherun]

Make your own pork pie. It isn't that hard.

Unpopular opinion I'm sure but prefer the Pork Pies up here with the pink meat in the middle rather than the grey Melton Mowbray ones.

I have to disagree. Although I'm not sure where "up here" is for you.

I had one when I was in Whitby in the summer. Made by Bothams (supposedly famous?) and it was bland as hell. Short crust pastry, no jelly and the meat texture was horrible.

As for their sausage rolls I'd rather have a Greggs.

York.

I’ve just google searched and watched a video posted at Bothams Whitby and I wouldn’t want one of those! Bloody tourist trap

The local butchers round here do exceptional pork pies.

Heathen! Pork is grey, ham is pink.

I had a mate from Belfast who had never had a pork pie before he came to Leicester. The dozy sod put it in the oven and wondered why it came out a glutinous pile of inedible fatty mush

I’ll normally have a couple of quail eggs with a Malbec reduction washed down with small crème de menthe.

 

[HughJanus]

Malbec with quail eggs! Fuckin peasant
