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!!

Yes when I lived in Leeds hot pork pie and peas were served on Bonfire Night. I miss them. 😔

DH was born and bred in Melton Mowbray, his uncle was a baker who made them. We now live near Merseyside, and it seems to be very common in these parts. DH is horrified by this barbaric practice and think that all who do so should be banished to some cold dark place till they acknowledge the error of their ways.

No. When I was a teen I used to make the bloody things! And there was no way they needed to be heated up.

Hot fresh from the butchers - delicious
Microwaved - no

My uncle has pork pie sandwiches for breakfast on Christmas morning - never been tempted to try that…

Nottinghamshire

DH is Northern Irish and eats them heated.

He was also offered them heated in Whitby

Londoner - and won't touch them - yuck the jelly

Yuck no. Never heard of anyone doing this and I’ve lived/ have friends and family in all corners of the UK.

You are my kind of person! Food of the Gods.

I've known them be put in the fryer at chip shops and also "fancy" ones served warm (with a runny yoke) in gastro pub type places.

Scotch eggs are truly fab heated up, but I wouldn't dream of a hot pork pie.

Your talking about scotch eggs, but I have heard a story about a pork pie going in to the deep fryer (no idea if batter was involved), it was in Glasgow and many years ago, so I suppose it's quite possible. Pork pie from the oven yes, microwaved or deep fried no.

Absolutely not!

I have never eaten a cold Scotch Egg. Why would you have them cold?

I never have but I am intrigued.

There’s a pork pie shop in Skipton, down the side of the church, by the river that sells hot pork pies (and cold ones for heathens) that are the food of the gods. Unless you’ve actually had one you can’t comment as you REALLY don’t know how damn good they are.

I'll never forget the horror of biting into a cold pork pie. Never touched a pork pie again.

A hot pork pie is amazing, but it’s got to be a proper pork pie from a butchers, not some cheap, plastic wrapped abomination from a supermarket.

God no

I’m so glad I posted this.

I totally forgot about the big scotch eggs, we often have the m&s gastro dine in starter of scotch eggs and indeed they do get heated through. I was thinking more of the tiny things, snack eggs / savoury eggs? Where the middle is chopped up / cuttes up pear eggs.

So does Skipton pie shop sell them all year? Are they best eaten in winter? Do I need to get on the A1 and not stop until I’m in Yorkshire?

I didnt, until a friend i was visiting in Ireland did it, and I really enjoyed it. So now I have it cold in the summer, and warm it up in the colder months.

Pork pies are firmly a cold party/picnic/little snack food. I've become recently aware some people heat them up and serve it with mushy peas 🤢 I live in Yorkshire and thought of it makes my stomach turn.

Ok so where’s the best place in Scotland to buy a smashing pork pie. To eat cold!

The pie shop in Skipton does a chilli 🌶 pork pie that is so hot an oven is not necessary, if I remember right it has the devil's horns on top of pie crust( blows your head off ) many other speciality pies also sold

I've never heard of it. I'm now sitting dreaming of pork pies and chutney, maybe a pickled onion too.

My friends from Yorkshire would say hit the A1 and the pork pies are just a benefit when you get there, "God's chosen county and all that shit". I'm torn because I like Bury Black Pudding, from the other side of the Pennines!

No way.
