Shop bought pork pies - hot or cold?

I like pies in general, and I especially like pork pies. On occasion, people sometimes give me PorkFarms type pork pies that can be eaten with additions (mustard, sauces etc) but my question is this. Would a cheap pork pie taste better if warmed through before eating?

Heat them till they turn to carbon.

Having made my own. Cheap mass produced pork pies turn my stomach

cold as ice

I've chopped out a quarter and have popped it in the oven for 15 mins. Gonna choke down the rest and see how the hot version does later

I imagine it would be disgusting. Jelly and pastry etc aren't designed to be hot.

Well with a PorkFarms cheapo - the result is......YES! So much better. It can be eaten without loads of sauces/mustard and actually tastes pretty nice. It almost turns into a gourmet sausage roll type thing, and let's face it, this type of """pork pie""" are crap anyways lel

Pastry stays kinda crispy - gg!

Cold with Brown Sauce, Only way for me!

Unless I'm feeling really lazy, a pork pie is always better heated up in the oven/airfryer.

You weird old men

Cold with Branston Pickle, only a true animal would have it otherwise!

Warm pork pies!? WTF. So wrong.

Hot pork pies are awesome with brown sauce.

tom_e · 24 Jun 2016 at 09:16

I've never even considered warming one up!?

I do miss living at home though, proper fresh Melton Mowbray pork pies just down the road. Nom nom nom.

About a month ago my work colleagues dog died so to cheer her up I bought her a sausage roll all warmed up.
She looked at me and said "Sexy, I can't eat sausage rolls warmed up, they are disgusting".
What a weirdo.

Never in my life had I even heard of heating up a pork pie. So I guess cold with ketchup is my only way!

Never heard of warming up pork pies, and for me the only condiment is english mustard.

Had a warm pork pie once but threw it in the bin. All the jelly melts and turns it into a steaming pile of mess. Disgusting!!
