Do you heat up pork pies?

[FurForksSake]

I’ve never heated one in my life, but I’m discovering some people bake the ones you buy in the supermarket and then serve them warm / hot, maybe with peas?

if you would be so kind as to let me know where you’re from, I want to know if it’s a geographic thing!!

Hell no 😲

Birmingham based

Glaswegian here. Nope!

It's definitely done in some parts of Yorkshire. Pie and peas on bonfire night.

Do you think it’s a bit odd, would you be tempted to try it? I’m considering getting some and baking them in the air fryer to find out if it’s a thing..

No, I don’t and wouldn’t heat a pork pie. I’m from the south west.

Nope, never heard of heating up a pork pie.

Never! I live in East of England, grew up in South-East.

But pie as in a melton Mowbray pork pie? Not a puff pastry steak and onion or something?

Absolutely not, east midlands, and north east

It depends on my mood at the time.

ETA I'm in Fife.

Yorkshire person here. Surely pie and peas is beef and onion pies, or similar, which are rarely eaten cold. I’ve never heard of heating up pork pies.

Never. A pork pie should always be eaten cold with pickles and chutney. Or maybe a bit of mustard.

if you heat them up does the wobbly jelly become a liquid again? What’s the pastry like hot? Do they become crispier?

My parents and their extended family all hail from Melton Mowbray. Heating up a pork pie before serving is unthinkable!!!

Ugh. No.

My dad is from Norfolk although been in Scotland for 50 years. He’s the only person I know who heats pork pies with beans.
everyone else likes them cold with chutneys.

@minipie I feel you might be the academic leading light in this field. We must not heat up the mini pie or pork?

Scotch eggs are safe right, no ones heating those up?

Hot pork pie???? Urrrggghhhhhh, the jelly would be all runny, yuck!

Scotch eggs however...now I would never heat up a bought one but do make homemade ones sometimes and they are absolutely delicious hot, especially if the egg has managed to stay runny. Yum.

Hot pork pie is the food of the gods, but not the crap that you buy in supermarkets in plastic packaging. Direct from the butchers that made them, preferably fresh from the oven. Crisp hot pastry, moist juicy filling and to answer a pp yes the jelly is runny.

Got to be Melton Mowbray ones not just any old pork pies will do if you get my gist

South east, never eaten them warm. Wouldnt the jelly melt?

I’d never had one hot before but had a ploughman’s last week in a pub and they heated up the pork pie. It was delicious! I do usually find any shop bought pastry benefits from being heated, even if then left to cool before eating.

Good god, NO.

Actually yes, not heating them up but had quite a few freshly cooked ones as a dish, usually in fancy pubs.
