Rare lyndarra Posted September 2, 2017 #176 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Best pastie I have ever had was at St Ives in the UK, a proper Cornish pastie in Cornwall and it didn't disappoint. We had one there. Good pasties and twice the size (or more) than the little ones we get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted September 2, 2017 #177 Share Posted September 2, 2017 For anyone visiting the UK, and wishing to sample top quality pork pies, aside from the butchers that produce their own in Melton Mowbray, Taylor's of Darlington in the north east, and Waterall Brothers of Sheffield in the east Midlands both produce superb pork pies, as tested by my goodself😀. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Forums mobile app We'll be there in a bit over a weeks time. Does anyone know if Morrison's cranberry topped pork pies are any good? We'll be stocking up on food for our two week canal boat holiday and their store is close to Etruria marina, Stoke on Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but they have to be in proportion to the size of the sea gulls.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted September 2, 2017 #184 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Over here the Melton Mowbray ones are the best.Not very keen on the others,cheers,Brian. A few years ago one on of our UK visits, we stayed in a pub in Rutland. Decided to drive into Melton Mowbray - home of ye olde pork pie shoppe. When we arrived there, it was a Sunday morning and ye olde pork pie shoppe was closed. But got the real thing anyway from a supermarket nearby.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatleman Posted September 3, 2017 #189 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Best pastie I have ever had was at St Ives in the UK, a proper Cornish pastie in Cornwall and it didn't disappoint. Spot on great pasties at St Ives, also Padstow and Polperro have great ones. Largest I ever had was at Dartmouth, about the size of a house brick. They make good Eccles cakes in the west country, they are super with Clotted Cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwicruiser25 Posted September 3, 2017 #194 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Why has someone not started a franchise selling pies in the USA.. Years ago when I visited the USA there wasn't anywhere on our travels that sold them :( Does anyone know why they don't sell them in the USA? Lets hope you are cruising and can enjoy a meat pie while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big ones, little ones.:o Aldi do in fact stock a very decent pork pie, some of the other ones sold in major supermarkets are not so nice, but you're always best to try one first before stocking up[emoji6].
