My local bakery here in Dublin was run by an elderly man from Rutland. In addition to bread, he sold pork pies - but only on Saturdays for some reason. They were DELICIOUS. He used sage and parsley in the filling, not just salt and pepper. M&S pork pies aren't a patch on them. The baker, a Mr Hepplewhite, sadly passed away a couple of years ago. RIP

It pains me to admit we don’t have pork pies as good as this in New Zealand. The only times I get to enjoy them is on the increasingly rare occasions I visit England and am able to pick some up at Fortnums (I’m not going all the way oop North just to satisfy my pie cravings at the source). I have had pretty good pork pies in Sydney, but I don’t get to go there very much either now. I found the butcher’s remarks about using meat from pigs that died happy were interesting, and I suspect it really does make a difference. Also, I don’t entirely agree with his claim to only use the simplest seasoning - I’ve had a pie that had a small amount of anchovy sauce in the filling, and it was a noticeable improvement. Some Kiwis are so used to hot beef pies they can’t accomodate the idea of enjoying a cold pork pie with aspic, garnished with a little Colman’s mustard and perhaps horseradish and washed down with a room temperature pint of bitter. More fool them!
