Pork Pie is a traditional British dish made from seasoned minced pork encased in a pastry crust. It is typically served cold and is often enjoyed as a snack or part of a picnic. The filling can include various spices and sometimes additional ingredients like herbs or vegetables, depending on regional variations. The pastry is usually made from a hot water crust, which gives it a firm texture. Pork Pies are commonly associated with the Melton Mowbray region, where they are protected by a geographical indication, ensuring that only pies made in this area can be labeled as such.
