For xmas morning breakfast. I have a large slice of pork pie. We've been dieting for 3 months (minus the drinking), so skipping savoury food has been my biggest sacrifice so just talking about it is making me salivate!
Is pork pie an Askew family tradition or does anyone else do that? ...actually thinking about it, it's Mrs Askew's family tradition which I was more than happy to adopt. I may have answered my own question or was I severely neglected as a child.

Meant to ask you Denis, a part of your tradition is queueing at Fields on xmas eve. How bad is the queue? We're thinking of going there this year, but hate queueing.

Take the better half, there is a nice coffee shop up stairs, you can sit up there enjoying a coffee and let the better half queue.:emoticon-0105-wink:

P.S. If lucky you might see some city players in there, and they used to go for a coffee sometimes.

<laugh> My oldest is having her first (and only at 43) brought forward to a pre-xmas managed caesarean, a boy. She never thought it would happen, then one very confident consultant came along with a game changer - everything looking good and can't wait for this Christmas Box...

...the medical support, from three different hospitals, is simply amazing and flies in the face of so much negativity.

Hope you get the perfect Christmas present.

How? Interested as you said it is only traditional to have one at Xmas whilst you see them all year. Unlike Xmas Puddings, mince pies.
I am lucky, I have a relative through marriage who makes as good a pork pie as you will get.

I meant a pork pie is normally a summer thing, you normally have it cold with salad and then gave the reason why people traditionally like to have such a thing in at Christmas. Though it wasn't a serious comment anyway. There's a bakers (or butchers) in Whitby that does a brilliant pork pie, there's used to be an excursion every year where all our family all got one for Christmas (I never made the excursion myself, hence not knowing if it was a butchers or bakers).

Pork Pies find their way into our fridge all year round. Mind you we do move into grease proof paper covered ones at Christmas rather than cellophane.
