I go to the footie but I have Muesli with oatmilk - am I a ‘proper bloke’

#86 George - getting towards the ton

But what do you give to your gerbil when you've eaten it's food?

I see Tuxford & Tebbutt - family stilton factory in Melton Mowbray - has closed down. What a shame.

Just checked again. Think its still open. Just.

You're desperate for a ton soho, post a few more inane comments & you'll have one.

 

[Sohofox]

Thanks for the tip, Tudor.
I never thought of that.
I owe you a pint in Kings.

Cheers Soho

5 to go

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.

Whitby is heaven on earth

Having lived in Melton for 40+ years I found Dickinson and Morris pies to be very peppery but nice. The best place to get that type of foodstuffs is Jones the butchers on King Street. Their Hazlet, Ham, Faggots and Pies are to die for. I have to visit it when I go to see my relatives. I spoke to one of the sons of Dickinsons and he told me that Pork pies are not generally good to transport on aircraft due to the change of air pressure effecting the jelly.

Wool-ton pie. He's only gone and done it with one of the seemingly most innocuous posts for a long time. Way to go Soho!

Do they explode? I can imagine bits of pocket meat and aspic covering your duty frees as you prepare to land.
I bloody love haslet, but don’t know what’s in it. Probably for the best.

In British English, haslet or acelet is a pork meatloaf with herbs, originally from Lincolnshire. Haslet is typically made from stale white bread, minced pork, sage, salt and black pepper

Just to endorse what Algarvefox said about Jones's butchers in Melton they really do make fabulous pork pies and if any of you visit at any time of the year do look them up and try one, you will not be disappointed.

 

[Sohofox]

Well that was fun!
Thanks for the tips.

 

[Uttoxfox]

So that’s it? You’ve got your ton and now going to leave us to it? You had to poke the fire about 70 in but fair play

 

[courtslcfc]

Yeah we go up at least twice a year.

 

[shanetko]

Got a Dickinson Morris Pork Pie yday and had some of it last night and have to concede it was very nice. Meat filling was tasty and it did have just enough jelly.

 

[What?]

Good man

 

[Gurru]

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

I live in Western Canada and it’s impossible to find a good pork pie so I started making my own a few years back. They are pretty good

I've tucked into the pork pie and the stilton an hour ago - and now I've just spewed up all over the sofa!!!
Merry Faacking Xmas.

Search for Alan Richman Eats Britain.
Episode 9 I think, set in Leicester, he goes to D&M pork pies in Melton.
Then pops down Welford Road for a curry.

Fucking puff, to be proper Leicester you need to have your breakfast snap by 8 o’clock and drinking Tiger bitter by 11 o’clock.
