carni 10,094 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Both sound wonderful Bubblewrap and Banjo48. Have a good time all of you.This year, Christmas Morning, we are down the street at our Daughters for the Prezzie opening and she wants to cook us Smokey Bacon Sandwiches. We won't be able to resist a bit of Pork Pie before we leave the house though. And then it's mainly Chocolate until we all assemble back at our house for Traditional Christmas Lunch at 2.30pm Nothing much after that until Boxing Day, when they all come back again, plus Sis and Bro inlaw for Bubble and Squeek.

MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Never heard of this tradition either until now?! Sounds yum though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 After the heart attack, I fear that pig pie is going to be right off the breakfast menu this year. Still, at least turkey is on the approved list, and having done penance at breakfast, I think I may be allowed a sliver of Christmas pud ! Don't talk about chocolate - it's just too painful. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've got blood pressure issues but my doc reckons a bit of chocolate now and again doesn't hurt, does wonders for the serotonin levels apparently. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karlton 582 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Never heard of pork pie fer breakfast mate, but I do like pork pie, you don't seem to get them spicy like they used to be, trying Melton Mowbray's at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidA 153 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've never heard of this tradition, but I'm going to try it this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 It was always tradition in our house when I was a littleun. we would all sit round the table Christmas morning munching on a big Pork Pie, it would have to be big there were a lot of us. I must say It's not a tradition I have carried on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I like eating a tasty pork pie (when I can find one) but I've never fancied eating one for breakfast. I usually have beetroot with my pork pie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Banjo48.....I trust your pork pies are good......that breakfast you describe has my mouth watering! The last time that I had a halfway decent tasting pork pie in this country was back in the 60s, from the Continental Section at Grace Bros, Bondi Junction - the origin of the pie?...Melton Mowbray. Never found any since.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Wife is making pork pie as I type lovely with a little mustard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 All three Organ Grinder pubs do a pork pie topped with Stilton Cheese very nice too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 #156 - I'm craving pork pie and mustard now! Haven't tried that before, I must do at some point! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 You need a good pint of Nottingham ale to wash it down with Suggest Either Screech Owl or Ape Ale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Use to love the pork pie and mustard....break the pie apart, toss out the jelly, chunks of meat with hot mustard and the pastry as a side dish.........Yum! That one of yours, Bubblewrap (#157), sounds tasty as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Melissa, it is in fact illegal to have pork pie without mustard. Well known Nottingham fact. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Melissa two things, first it must be English mustard none of this foreign muck. Second don't put to much on the first time you try it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 And the mustard was Colman's Mustard....Spoon powder into an egg cup, few drops of water from the tap, mix well to a paste and put a dollop on the side of the plate to smear on the pork pie............... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Trevor, that's the old hands way, not recommended for a young lady beginner 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Try using milk instead of water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Haha thank you for the tips folks. I'll definitely be trying! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Dad always used milk to make the Mustard. I can remember the mustard used to make me sneeze, if it was made with water. Still does if I use too much. Using milk probably calmed it down a bit. A good tip, to try Milk if it's too hot for you Melissa. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hot mustard is good for you......clears out the tear ducts and nasal passages in one fell swoop.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
