Pork pies
I know that even the more expensive ones are just hog anus, but dammit they taste good.

I don't even mind the flobbidy-dobbidy jelly in the cheap ones

I think jelly is essential in a pork pie.

indeed it is
there's usually a piss taking amount of air in cheap ones though.

I spotted that one of the little snack-sized pork pies from Waitrose
contained almost a quarter of my recommended daily calorie intake. Put me right off for something that's about three mouthfuls.

Tell you what IS awesome...
Pork scratchings on a Barbequeue.

Instant crackling!

I draw the line at pork scratchings
the hard ones break my teeth and the soft ones make my stomach churn (it's more the consistency than the taste).

But heated by barbequeue
they are ALL perfect.

I can't see the appeal of pork pies, scotch eggs, mini saussages (unless you have condiments) and most things that could be on a Plowman's Lunch.
Don't get me wrong, if it's in front of me and there is nothing else on offer, I'd eat it, I don't dislike it, I just don't see the appeal.

I used to be the same with pies, until I made a beef'n'ale pie that was as good as at least a medium-rated shag.

making your own successful beef and ale pie is a sign that you are successful as a person
I hold my first one as one of my greatest triumphs

the best bit was where the juice had leaked on to the cheese straws I was cooking below it, and it turned to cheesy, pastry-y, beefy, aley goo

it was the most amazing thing I've ever tasted.
