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!!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a puff pastry sausage roll - central Scotland.

Because they’re picnic food and most people don’t bring their microwaves!

My home made sausage rolls are puff. I also make a variety with different additions, the horror.

Me: cold pork pies and scotch eggs

DH: heat the hell out of both.
Kids: sadly think DH's way is best....

The mini savory eggs they would eat cold tho.

You can't microwave them that would ruin the runny yolk, has to be in a real oven.

Ok, people eat them cold as they don’t bring their oven to a picnic. I was responding to pp who asked why they would be eaten cold - the answer to that is because they are a picnic food

Somerset baker ,you don't need to be torn you can get black pudding pork pies 🙂 cubes of black pudding mixed in with the pork pie meat

Yes heat up if having with mushy peas (and mint sauce), the rest of the time we eat them cold.

Oh I’d like a black pudding pork pie. I’ve just realised we didn’t have fish and chips over half term in Scotland and introduce the kids to the wonders of puddings.

I'm yorkshire it must be a yorkshire thing, heated up with peas mash and loads of gravy. It's lush. My dad always done it when we were kids and I do it now. Just bang it in oven for 20 minutes

That must have been a bad pork pie. A great pork pie leaves you wanting more. I only buy them from the butchers. Supermarket ones are a disgrace, fatty and tasteless.

Hot pork pies are yummy, we sometimes used to have them when I was a child some 50+ years ago. I'd forgotten all about them until reading this thread, but will definitely be giving them another try.

Also in our part of world you can get a fight pie 2/3 pie meat remaining third topped off with stuffing and chopped sweet pack apple (the ready prepared apple mix some bakers use for their apple pies, are fijit pies made elsewhere ?

No to the pork pies.

Sausage rolls and Scotch eggs -always warmed up.

Should have read fijit not fight

I'm from a family of butchers who used to make pork pies and I can't imagine the gelatine being nice when heated up. We always had them cold and I'm from the Midlands.

Fijit pie sounds like a little bit of me. I’ll look out for those.

We've microwaved them with real mushy peas, not tinned. We're in Yorkshire.
Dh doesn't eat them any more, he's pre-diabetic and very disciplined.
I on the other hand am partial to a cold pork pie with brown sauce.

But his uncle must have baked them. Raw pastry, filled with meat and jelly then put in the oven to cook.

@FurForksSake Scotch eggs should be fresh from the fryer with the yolk slightly runny. The ones o supermarket shelves don't count.

I used to work at a football stadium up north. The pies were meat pies. Beef and potato. Not a pork pie with gravy. They were flatter and held in one hand. I never understood the appeal - but would have one with brown sauce if offered as never one to turn down a freebie.

Yes the jelly turns into hot juice - it's fantastic. Pastry will soften a bit in a microwave but crisp up in an air fryer. Hot pork pies are excellent with mushy peas and thinly sliced onions blanched in boiled vinegar. I'm from west Yorkshire. We used to get microwaved solo pork pies from lunch shops to eat from a paper bag while walking round town.

Different side of the Pennines I suppose. Yorkshire has pork pies, Lancashire has meat or meat and potato pies.

Never done it but recently had one hot from the oven at Beamish museum and it was delicious

Surely it would turn in to a slippy ball of grease with the amount of combined fat in the pastry, meat and jelly layer! 😬. On the subject of scotch eggs, I’d never heat one up but hot freshly baked ones are lovely!

Actually that does sound more plausible, a meat and potato pie in one hand and then a rattle in t'other (as they would say up North).

I did suspect that the Vicar, who told me, might sometimes tell 'pork pies' (as they say down South). He also said that Earth was only 6,000 years old.
