  • Pork pies are a type of meat pie and are traditional British food. They consist of roughly chopped pork and pork jelly sealed in a hot water crust pastry, and are normally eaten cold. In Yorkshire, a pork pie is occasionally referred to as a "growler". There are two main types of pork pie generally available in commercial outlets: the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie uses uncured meat, whilst the common pie uses cured meat. This gives the meat in a Melton pie a grey colour, while commercial pies commonly have pink meat. A Melton Mowbray pie also commonly has a hand-formed crust and often looks slightly irregular in shape after baking, as with any hand-made pie. The Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association applied for protection under the European "Protected designation of origin" laws as a result of the increasing production of Melton Mowbray style pies by large commercial companies in factories far from Melton Mowbray. This protection was granted on 4 April 2008. Pork pie or Porkie Pie, often shortened to porky, is the Cockney rhyming slang term for lie. (en)
