Pork pies from a butcher in Darlo. They're so good they're distributed throughout the north east. People q up for the ****s.
The jelly in a pork pie is only to preserve them originally. The local butcher makes them 2-3 times a week with and without jelly. very nice warm from the oven. Will always make one at Xmas, it’s just making the hot water crust pastry stinks the house out
Traditionally the ‘jelly ****’ is aspic ( the stock from boiling pigs trotters in water) which is poured in through the hole in the top of the pie after cooking and solidified in the fridge before eating/selling. Aspic jelly is rich in amino acids and full of collagen for healthy bone structure. I love them and sell shed loads of mini pork pies.
Made crumpets with peanut butter and jam for breakfast, to be told, I don’t like them anymore. So I had them, amazing with a brew.
