Do you like the jelly in a pork pie?

Question

A pork pie is an essential item at any picnics or buffet, but one component divides people, the jelly. That thick layer of aspic that sits between the fatty meat and the thick lard pasty. Now we've all had a cheap one that's more jelly than meat and we all agree their disgusting. But whenever someone says they don't like pork pies one thing that crops up is the jelly. So where do you stand?

I have eaten a pork pie and it wasn't the worst culinary experience of my life but it felt like I was being a bit careless with my own physical welfare, especially since I had been talked into drinking warm beer that was just sort of sitting there, somewhere deep inside, giving off potentially dangerous gases or something that was making me feel really bloated. A friend swore that a pork pie with insanely hot mustard was the best solution, but that I shouldn't look directly at the sliced open pie, so I kept my eyes closed while eating it. Maybe what I thought was just the mustard was actually the jelly. Oh, well, it didn't kill me, so it must have made me stronger.

I have a question... What kind of jelly is in the pie? I know I sound ignorant, but now I'm curious. Pork pie sounds like it would taste great with an apricot or apple or pear preserves/jelly, maybe even a peach... But I have zero idea

I've never had pork pie. It sounds good. I don't think I'd mind the aspic unless there was too much. Why do they put aspic in it in the first place, to give it some juiciness?

I wonder why they don't have pork pie in the U. S. I want to try it.

What about you, purplepoppy. Do you like a little or a lot of jelly?

Pork pie isn't a great name. It's a turn-off. Bubble and squeak, on the other hand, is something I can get behind.

Is it disgusting? No, then it's not Welsh. See my latest question:

I must admit I've never had a pork pie in this shape. In my country it's fine pork pate backed dough and slow cooked pork in jelly is common dish, but I've never seen as combo.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

A little bit formed from gelatin is nice to me although I don't like straight-up aspic. Yet a little bit of jelly around meat is nice to me.
