THIS is the kind of porky pie that we desire, if you get my drift LOL!!! I never tire of watching you teach us about how easy it is to make your various pastry recipes. I always fail and am still afraid to try it but watching you may give me the confidence to try! It is embarrassing to admit how many lumps of dough I have discarded due to failure so I always pay close attention to your techniques and advice and will someday try!!! Your recipes are always original and new, not copies of things everyone else has done and I love your originality and innate talent!!! Thank you, Rik!

[@BackyardChef]

The last few weeks I have been making pork pies (after watching on KZbin). Every time I make them they seem to get better - trouble is they don't last long in our house 😆 I experimented recently with a pie - similar to a pork pie but made with chicken thigh meat and flavoured with Indian spices - cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli etc. They were fabulous. All of this since you gave me the courage to try. Thanks Rik

One of my best memories as a child was going to watch the Sunday league pub team (I was the unofficial mascot haha) . When we would get back to the pub after the game often on a very cold and wet Yorkshire Sunday the land lady of the pub always had a cauldron of mushy peas and a side dish of pork pies ready for the team, and of course mint sauce! 😋. Naturally, I had to get involved...superb Rik!

This is a definitely make it yourself pie in South Africa. I have only once been able to buy it made and baked and that was at a flea market in Paarden Island in Cape Town. For some reason people are just not eating it or find it not worth the trouble. I make them, freeze them baked and thaw one at a time and when I am feeling a peckish, cut myself a quarter at a time, pie as a snack will last 4 days in the fridge.

Right, Rik, that's me next picnic sorted (with a side order of Gala pie). There's a recipe here that adds pickle to the pie before baking, and I'm interested in how that turns out

I haven't done that to be honest, let me know. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@darnstewart]

The way I look at it, if you call it a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie, you've have to stick to the traditional recipe. If you make a Pork Pie, it's up to you. Just like Cornish Pasties. People like you and Glen and Friends are a Godsend, use a recipe as inspiration and use what you have and to personal taste.

[@BackyardChef]

You threw me for a second I had to look if I had called it a Melton Mowbray - Nah I do not stick to anything there are hundreds of ways to cook and if someone is so pedantic to cook like that they need to be on a science channel and not cooking. Cooking is fun - Taste and Adjust always chuck out or in what you like to eat. Just enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik

What would be good to try would be apple jelly in the holes would. Taste good I'm dure. Great looking pies.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PaoloBanke]

Ye apple sounds ideal but on this occasion it would in fact spoil the pork pie, it has to be pretty traditional with jelly and herbs of choice, but aside of mushy peas and mint sauce is is pretty common and takes the pie to a new level.

[@tidyjob1]

@@PaoloBanke some people. Don't like the jelly. I have had pork and apple pie. So was just thinking for someone who doesn't. Like the jelly it may be nice.

[@PaoloBanke]

@@tidyjob1 I cant see any harm in it its just not traditional, personally I don't mind the jelly if its not overbearing.

[@PaoloBanke]

Now even I with a restrictive diet have to sneak a bit of pork pie if its snoozing peacefully in the fridge. If you have never tried it it is a must. Cold it has many applications from stand alone, with Branston pickle or brown sauce, with salad, all kinds. Warm with mushy peas is a personal favourite and what a wonderful simple recipe for them it is difficult to actually go wrong with this one.

Are your individual pie/cake tins 3"?? We love how most British pies are made in deep, straight sided pans... not the shallow slant-sided pie tins like we have in the US. For snack size the muffin pan is okay... but the individual deep ones are so much better. I'm guessing 3" for snack size.. and 4" tins for individual pies, maybe? These look so freakin' good! :) Oh, also, I measured my air fryer wire rack and it is 14" x 11.25" so I'm getting that round cast iron grill pan. Shirley in NH

I am looking for a recipe for a pork belly roast, one with crispy skin. I think it should be pressure cooked prior to drying in the fridge then frying?/roasting? to crisp up the skin. I saw a video that boiled a piece of pork belly, before deep frying. It turned out dry as a bone. There is also a Puerto Rican recipe for marinated pork shoulder that I roasted for hours and hours. It's ok, but it's hours and hours. I wonder how you would go around doing this. I still do your 1 hour roast beef dinner, Its always a hit with my family.
