Pork pie for breakfast

[NoMoreFlowers]

Does anyone else always have pork pie for breakfast on Christmas Day, or is my family just a bit odd? 🙂

I wouldn't really say that's completely out there. It's Christmas, anything goes!

It's a Leicester thing I'm told. Personally no, they are for tea!

Odd sorry.

Bacon sarnies, fresh OJ, lots of coffee here.

Definitely a Leicester thing!

we have it in the evening, not for breakfast. Pastry gives me terrible indigestion!

We always have it for tea on Christmas Eve.

I’m not really a fan of pork pies, I mean they are ok but not right up there for me, I think we would all feel short changed if we sat down to some pork pie on crimbo morning

Bacon, croissants, cinnamon swirls, cheesy scrambled egg and Buck’s Fizz here,

But if you like a pork pie, all crack on. We all have different tastes.

We used to as Leicester relatives always sent us a Melton Mowbray one at Christmas. Also a big slice from the raw ham, that was due to be cooked for boxing day, fried up like gammon steak, with fried eggs.

Odd

We have them for tea... although tbh I love pork pies and would happily eat them any time of the day. Haha.

Goodness no, way too early. However, on Christmas day I guess anything goes. We always have Melton Mowbray pork pies in the evening on Christmas day. Can't beat a Melton Mowbray pork pie.

I've never heard of it as a 'thing' but I can eat anything for breakfast - and I'd love pork pie.

My Dad always had pork pie for breakfast on Christmas Day (he never ate breakfast normally) and he was Leicestershire born. I've been known to have trifle for breakfast on Boxing Day!

I've never heard of it but I like the idea
A big slab of gala pie would go down very well on Christmas morning I think. Line the stomach before the champagne starts flowing

Love a pork pie, never had one for breakfast but am tempted! I love the ones from the old shop in Melton.

Has to be warm mincepies (homemade) washed down with champagne cocktails.

Someone posted on here recently about a family tradition of a Victorian breakfast; I’m sure they said that included pork pie and Ox tongue, things like that.

I quite often sneak a slice of pork pie from the fridge in the mornings when we have a big one in over Christmas.

I hadn't realised it was a Leicester thing, but my parents are both from Leicester so that makes sense.

Yep. Every Christmas without fail, Boxing Day too if there's some leftover. With ham too. I'm from Nottingham, if it's relevant. You're making me hungry, OP!

Yep - definitely a South Notts / Leics thing.

Oh god I love pork pie. Craving it now.....thanks!

No, but I'm going to now, that's genius!

And by a lucky chance, I've got a Melton Mowbray pie sitting in the fridge at this very moment!

No Pork Pie for breakfast, but a sausage roll with a coffee at 11ish is very recommended!
