Virtually no-one else has ever come across it. The thread was started 14 years ago by popothepixie and he/she hasn't been back again for 10 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 609 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 My dad regularly had pork pie for breakfast at Christmas when I was a youngster in the 1950s and 60s. Back then I wasn't a fan but as I've aged I'm quite partial to it. My late father in law who was from Leamington got me into it with his liking for Saxby's offering. I believe they sadly ceased trading in 2017. I sometimes make do with the Dickinson & Morris one from Waitrose now I'm down in Dorset although last year I tried one from Crow Farm in the New Forest and was quite impressed although it was a little pricey. I think HP sauce (another Nottingham creation) is the perfect accompaniment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,118 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Never given it a thought previously Pork Pies association with Christmas........... However looking back to the 60s and my time at Marsdens.......we always took dozens of orders for them at ''Yuletide'' even at the smaller shops......Marsdens bought them from TN Parr of Beeston...........

No Alpha, just proud to be from a mining family that just never had pork pie for breakfast on Christmas Day. I was partial to Christmas cake and some strong bitey mature Cheddar later in the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 490 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 We all wear Xmas pyjamas all day as well now, there’s only the four of us. Couldn’t have done it when mum was alive and used to come, you had to be dressed up to the nines bless her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,217 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 If anyone is interested here is a link to a pork pie recipe from the "Gridiron" How to make pork pie – recipe | Food | The Guardian Far more interesting is the comments section which recommends pork pies from all over the UK such as Lincoln, Pepperdines Butchers Skipton, Stanforths Leicester, Walkers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
