Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

Sooooo, what's the verdict from the OP, were they any good? Awaiting review....

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

I may give this english pork pie company a try one day.

At the moment we use britishbacon.com They use the the Wiltshire cure method in preparing their pork. Its tastes great. Also there sample or gift packages have a good variety. We get the new store package at Christmas time sausage, bacon, sausage rolls and pork pies the lot.

The Wiltshire cure gammon ham is normally a treat we have during the year at some point.

I wonder has anyone here in Arizona tried http://site.themeatshopaz.com/Menu.html? I see they do English bangers

I have just finished one of the classic pork pies. Very little jelly in the pie. It was as good as any I had while I was back in England beginning of June. Pastry was firm but not dry. Certainly I can recommend them and I am going to be buying again, and trying out some of the other pies they do, one of which is Melton Mowbray pork pies.

They arrived in a polystyrene cooler box, which itself was inside a cardboard shipping box. Several reusable ice packs in the box. I ordered pies and sausages and all arrived in good condition, cold and no concerns about any possible deterioration in shipping. The cooler box and ice packs can be use again if you wanted to.

They are not close to the real deal, they are the real deal. Authentic in every way.

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

I hope you're getting commission because I think you've probably just generated a decent amount of business for them!! :thumbup:

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

Having tasted the pork pies I can vouch for the authenticity of the reviews on their web site. They are everything they are cracked up to be.

What is the difference between a Melton Mowbray pie and a Traditional pie and a Yorkshire pie?

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

My Dad is from that part of the country and according to him Melton Mowbray pies are much superior to all the others...something about the crust never going soggy. They're made to a very traditional recipe and are yummy. Can't believe I'm salivating as I wrote this. I'm going to check out this website!

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

Brilliant! I am sold. As soon as it gets below 100F here I will be ordering. Let us know what you think of the sausages too. :)

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

I'll be putting in an order too, pork pie is the one thing you really can't replicate in the states.
Even my 14 year old daughter fell in love with pork pie last month, magic...

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

So did you eat ALL the pies ?

Re: Hot of the plane from NY
 

Not yet I am pacing myself so they last.
