Shop bought pork pies - hot or cold?

Those Pork Farms things are pretty rank. Though not as bad as their sausage rolls.

Heated is probably a good shout. Can't see it making them any worse.

Wouldn't heat a decent pie, though.
 
I wonder if you could microwave them?

I bought some top quality frozen Iceland mini pork pies yesterday.

Might try one out. :)
 
My rule is:

Standard supermarket pies = hot only if I have to.
Decent pies = Hot or cold, but preferably still warm from coming out the bakers oven.

Basically, hot is better. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
 
at risk of Icelandic war (fish or football) despite what S. Cowell thinks it has to be Dickinson and Morris brand for supermarket pork-pies !
(if I see these reduced at end of date they always freeze well)
 
I have a Pork Pie story:
On my way to work I decided to call into Brayfords, which is around 5 miles from home, for one of their amazing Pork Pies.
I get to work and 1 hour later I get a text off my wife saying "Hope you enjoyed your Pork pie".
WTF? - she works 5 miles in the other direction.

Apparently a woman she works with called in on her way to work and thought she recognised me. "Has he got scratches all down the back of his leg and a big bruise on his right leg?"
"Yeah, one was a cycle accident last week and one was last night when he rode into a lamppost" :D
 
When I was working and had to go to Chester I went through Wem and they had a small butcher in high street. They made best pork pies ever and at 8.30 in morning they were still hot and they were out of this world especially with brown sauce.

Cold pies are hard.

Those were the days and the butchers closed down years ago. :(:(
 
Hot if first cook (let them rest for a while tho!)

I wouldn't reheat cold ones. They would turn to slime.

This, we have loads of dockland pork butchers here, and if you catch them in the morning you can get them hot, and they are awesome! Careful as they are nuclear sunlight hot if too fresh!
 
Never heard of warming up pork pies, and for me the only condiment is english mustard.
Piccalilli. Though only if a plain pork pie. If it is a Gala or pie with some other topping like cranberry or dried apricot then nothing with it. Always cold though, always!
