    My local bakery here in Dublin was run by an elderly man from Rutland. In addition to bread, he sold pork pies - but only on Saturdays for some reason. They were DELICIOUS. He used sage and parsley in the filling, not just salt and pepper. M&S pork pies aren't a patch on them.
    The baker, a Mr Hepplewhite, sadly passed away a couple of years ago. RIP

    It pains me to admit we don’t have pork pies as good as this in New Zealand. The only times I get to enjoy them is on the increasingly rare occasions I visit England and am able to pick some up at Fortnums (I’m not going all the way oop North just to satisfy my pie cravings at the source).
    I have had pretty good pork pies in Sydney, but I don’t get to go there very much either now.
    I found the butcher’s remarks about using meat from pigs that died happy were interesting, and I suspect it really does make a difference. Also, I don’t entirely agree with his claim to only use the simplest seasoning - I’ve had a pie that had a small amount of anchovy sauce in the filling, and it was a noticeable improvement.
    Some Kiwis are so used to hot beef pies they can’t accomodate the idea of enjoying a cold pork pie with aspic, garnished with a little Colman’s mustard and perhaps horseradish and washed down with a room temperature pint of bitter. More fool them!

      I get my meat from a small country butcher in the midwest US. Carcasses and quarters hanging in the 80 year old cooler, original meat grinder and giant butcher table behind the counter. Everything's fresh. It's roughly in between this video and modern practices, but the quality is always great and nobody gets sick. That's not scalable, so factory food is a necessity of modern life, but it's nice to avoid it for my meat at least.

    Humbling to watch, especially to see how they make a pork pie "for the older generation". I'm pretty sure the production of these pork pies now is several manufacturing "generations" ahead of what we're watching here - you won't see the casual walking of the chopped pork down the street to the workshop nowadays. I think we need to go two steps forward and three steps back to regain the healthier production of food.
