Cream infused yellow tube cake, an absolute delight

>he main distinctive feature of a Melton pie is that it is made with a hand-formed crust. The uncured meat of a Melton pie is grey in colour when cooked; the meat is chopped, rather than minced. As the pies are baked free-standing, the sides bow outwards, rather than being vertical as with mould-baked pies. Melton Mowbray pork pies are also served cold, unlike the Yorkshire pork pie.

> only pies made within a designated zone around Melton (made within a 10.8 square mile (28 square kilometre) zone around the town), and using the traditional recipe including uncured pork, are allowed to carry the Melton Mowbray name on their packaging

oh boy, another champagne type bullshit.

lame as fuck

This post is not an absolute delight. Please leave

Not my fault that I can't make actual Melton Mowbray Pies simply because I don't live within 28 square kilometers of Melton Mowbray.

Seems pretty gay to me.

It looks nice, but why serve it cold? Seems like it would be better hot

Agree, he should be expelled. Resume delightposting

You can have it either way.
It's just meat and pastry.

It had to be cold in the old days because of the way they made it, it was a preservation method for the fillings.

>>14538615
Honestly find them a lot nicer cold, very fatty so if you have them warm they become a bit greasy and the pastry becomes all soft. Besides, if you want a warm pork snack, you can just get some sausage rolls instead.

>>14538626
Intredasting, thank you anon
>>14538642
I'm not a UKanon so I don't think I can get sausage rolls here. But I would try those and the pork pie if given the opportunity.

>>14538617
No what the fuck is that?

>>14538588
You are welcome to invent your own regional food, although "My Mom's House Can of Beans" doesn't have that good a ring to it, does it?

>gray meat, shitty crust, dry af
remember this is the type of shit they're proud of whenever some third worlder criticizes your food

>>14538566
I fucking love those pies with some mustard and pickles

>>14538664
im a canada fag and i can find the pork pies here. I like em, and prefer them cold for the same reason the guy listed. Cornish pasties, sausage rolls, are both good too

>>14539437
The whole point of the pork pie is that they're not dry. The meat is cooked inside the pastry and the juices are sealed in.

for me, it's peetzer pie, an absolute delight

Regional monopolies are anti-competitive and hurt the overall market.

>>14539546
by not allowing a region to have a trademark on a particular item, it then loses its exclusivity charm to the consumer and becomes yet another faceless, formless product for mass consumption. you are infringing on the right of the region to participate in the free market by trademarking their item.

>dry af
You've just proven that you have never had one before

yikes, third-worlders cope even harder than americans

>>14539566
Nothing food-related should ever be exclusive you fucking moron. If you need an artificial price premium because of government-imposed arbitrary regional restrictions, your product fucking sucks black dick and we'd all be better off with the normal process of cultural exchange where the quality of your product can be matched against international variants to see whether it's actually worth paying more for.

DOP is a complete fucking scam

Doritos and ramen

>becomes
It already is, anon. You're deluding yourself if you think the meme brand name becomes less of a meme brand name with a DOP sticker on it.

>>14539546
You've got it the wrong way around. You can make a better pork pie and compete, you just can't call it a Melton one because its not from fucking Melton.

>>14539976
Delusional. You can't make a better Melton pork pie without uprooting yourself and moving to Melton. Imagine thinking arbitrary lines in clay determine the quality of a product instead of objective facts, sound reasoning, and market facts.

If Melton pies were so good in the first place they would stand on their own. You're just another leftist justifying state-sanctioned monopolies because it makes your feelings a little better.

On the subject of regional British foods that are a delight.

Bakewell pudding (not to be confused with bakewell tarts).

Sweet puff pastry with almonds and raspberry jam. Insanely nice but ultra rare in shops because it needs to be freshly baked, unlike Bakewell tarts which can keep for weeks.

holy shit that looks good
