NoahK Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Where can I buy an authentic Melton Mowbray type pork pie in Perth or vicinity..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 In eight years I never came across a really good one. Though the deli at Boatshed market has reasonable ones. If you haven't been, it is a fantastic foodie heaven. But, be prepared for prices to match. I highly recommend the butchers there as well and probably the best cheese selection in WA. Oh, and curries at the deli counter are like British restaurant curries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s713 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Whereabouts are you? There's a few good British butchers around, there's a Scottish one in Currambine, they seem to be highly rated. Chances are though you'll never get one exactly like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbpom Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'd recommend forgetting about pork pies and trying Vietnamese pork rolls instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Unless it's exported it is isn't a Melton Mowbray pork pie is it? Protected status and all that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahK Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Melton Mowbray TYPE pie...ie similar to all the pork pies very authentically made by every one of the big Supermarkets in the UK...Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury, Marks etc...all make their own pork pies...I would be happy to buy...why no comparable crunchy pastry here in Oz...one guy told me the pastry here is doughy because of the flour here...another said it is the Climate...and a lot of the pies in UK are small ones but just as crunchy etc..at this rate I’ll just have to try making my own..

Toots Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My husband bought a couple of pork pies which he reckoned were alright from a deli in Hobart. They are marketed as Pacdon Park pork pies and I looked up where else they are available. Apparently the Boatshed Market, 40 Jarrod Street, Cottesloe sell them too. I can't vouch for them as I don't eat meat. Here is their spiel: Our pork pie, traditionally eaten cold, is perfect as part of a Ploughman's Lunch, or with mustard and a cold beer! Made using traditional British Recipes and only the finest free range local pork. We bone out the pork in-house, and also make our own lard which gives them their delicious hot water crust pastry. Our pies are baked in the traditional manner, without using a supporting hoop or tin, which gives them their classic bow-sided shape of an authentic Melton Mowbray Pork Pie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahK Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Great looking pork pie...only question I would ask is...and this may just be a personal preference...is that pie pastry should be lardy and crunchy especially in the base...or...it looks like the pastry may be soft and doughy like the Oz made pies are...what would you say..? i suspect the Brit pork pies pastry must be mixed with lard to get that crunchy base especially...your thoughts..?

Noah Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside due to the gelatin. My boys like lots of jelly so I make my pastry thicker than is normal to accommodate. I could bake longer to dry the pastry through but I prefer it soft inside. yes, I use lard but I seriously can't tell much difference on the odd occasion that I've used margerine. 18 hours ago, The Pom Queen said: @Cerberus1 has just sent me this Kev as I said I’d love a nibble of a pork pie and my son said I’ll bake you one, he then asked me how, and I’ve honestly no idea.
