My daughter is missing pork pies too. Apparently the 'Brit food' shops in some of the bigger malls sell them (teeny weeny Melton Mowbrays)

The local Thrifty Foods supermarket here has them, but it's a long way from Manitoba. It says Melton Mowbray on them so I asked if they actually came from there . The very nice lady went off to check, but apparently (and unsurprisingly) they didn't.

There's a butcher with a yellow and black sign on St Mary's that does haggis, next to the fire station where the road splits off with ?St Anne... if they chop up cow for Brits for that, it's possible they mangle pig for pies too?

Re: Pork Pies
Was in Mr D's tonight's
Not making Pork Pies this year as
1. Quality Pork not fatty enough any more - really fatty Pork not good taste
2. Gelatine no longer allowed to be imported
3. If is not going to be done right and taste right, not worth the time taken.
Suggested to try raging Brit, was surprised to hear about them starting up a bakery though
