pork pie with egg in - yay/nay?

[Sweaty Betty]

Firstly - a pork pie with egg in it is not a pork pie, it's a gala pie

thank you!!!!!

 

[twistedAM]

Gala pie?? Is that not some sort of supermarket name rubbish or is it actually from Gala??

I suppose that would make sense as it's a close relative of the Scotch Egg and if want want pork and egg that's the way I like it.

Pork pies should be left traditional...no egs, no chutney, no bloody cranberries.

There is a picnic pie as well...

....and they inject the jelly on massive hot jelly injecting machines that squirt you with hot jelly if you're not careful.

And I was a vegetarian at the time

I hate the jelly in pork pies, anyway. Why do they put it in?

Just scoop it out like i do. Its a nessesary evil as it makes the pasty nice and moist.

Ah fuck it I'm off to the post office to buy one now.

They are definitely called Gala pies. I don't think it's cos they're from Gala(shiels), more likely a reference to them being a 'high days and holidays' kind of thing - all the wee towns and villages in the Lowlands have some kind of Gala Day in the summer. When I was growing up we went to the Gifford Gala every year to run three-legged races, guess the weight of the pig and give a token to the fierce looking WRI lady for a paper bag containing either a scotch pie or a slice of Gala pie, and a sticky bun, and a free ice cream

firstly, the jelly is lovely

secondly, Orang is correct, anything with egg in it that looks like that is wrong.
