Walkers Fluted Pork Pie

Walkers Fluted Pork Pie
Previously mentioned in The Independents "Top Ten Pork Pies"  this was our first taste of a Walkers pie from Leicestershire.

Overall we quite enjoyed this offering which we bought from Tesco. A bit on the pricey side (although our offering was from the povvy counter). It was tasty with consistent pastry which wasn't too thick. The jelly was present and enjoyable. This last point should be noted as they use their own Pork Jelly which is unique to them. Our own preference with Pork Pies is for some jelly to be present so we do appreciate this. 

We give this a score of 8/10

Into the early1960s Walkers would post pies within the UK. I still have one of the boxes. The meat was chopped (not minced) and not pink with nitrites. The pastry thin and as crisp as a biscuit and plenty of jelly - which is really the main point of a pie.
