Default A Pork Pie worth of England (in Melbourne)

I've been living down under for 11 years, settled in Melbourne. And have been off the site for the last 5.

What brought me back was the discovery of an actually decent pork pie being made in Melbourne. Pork pie is one of those things that you eventually just accept you will never have again, like fish and chip shop scraps, or a sally lun, but finally . . . I've found one.

My in-laws moved here about 8 years ago (just after my wife and I had our first child) and as ex-butchers and yorkshire folk they also confirmed - this is a really good pork pie.

You can track it down at:

HOME - Quince and Clove : Quince and Clove

(I think they will also make to order, just in case somebody got there before you)

Thanks but unfortunately, the pork pie brings back evil memories.

Very Elderly relatives in the UK used to eat things like pie and liquor, cockles, and jellied eels from some seafront shop on the coast.

Pork pies used to contain a layer of jelly between meat and crust.

I think the jellied eels had given me a phobia for life

But my parents love em.

Our local Coles use to do a nice port pie and sometimes the local deli in Canning Vale use to have some nice ones, funny enough though we don't seem to eat them now we are back in the UK. We do still like a "ploughmans" though and our local country pub serves a nice port pie with theirs.

The pork pie is a funny beast

They are ok but I don't get why Brits go mad for them. What's with the jelly?

Scotch eggs on the other hand........

Pork pies? Absolute yuk! The jelly is particularly yuk. I would have thought the appeal quite limited.

Glad I am not the only person to have a problem with the jelly.

Used to? That's what makes a pork pie a real pork pie. I love them and thankfully there's a guy up here who makes excellent ones, he posted on here once or twice as well. Might just get one out of the freezer....

We bought a pork pie and some 'English' bacon at the Kingsbury Drive Market in Melbourne. Very nice indeed - if a little pricey. You can also get excellent British Fish and Chips with scraps (and mushy peas/curry/gravy etc) at Fryer Tucks in Croydon. Well worth the 40 minute drive x

Slightly off thread (sorry) I visited "Bents" garden centre near Warrington on Friday for the first time, its fantastic, while there I bought two pork pies (I was planning on doing a Ploughmans on Saturday) anyway we had the pies last night and they were excellent. We struggled to buy English bacon in Perth but we still used the Aussie type, except for the Chocolate and Crisps, we did not really miss that much (food wise) anything we did like to use ie HP sauce etc we could buy from Coles.

The jelly is the work of the devil. Pork pies ming.

Scotch eggs, on the other hand, are manna from heaven. And bloody easy to make, to boot.
