We normally have some Gala pork pie over Xmas. Was shopping at Tesco this morning when noticed, printed on the label it said "buy all of me at £2.70 per KG". I asked the assistant to weigh it and he said it would be just over £8. I asked if that was at £2.70 per KG and he seemed unaware of the deal, and checked the label. he said it had a different code, re weighed it, and it came to £4. They had 2 so i bought both for £7.89. It seems each pie is packaged in halves and if you buy a full half, you get the cheaper £2.70 price. Both pies weighed in at close to 1.5KG and were approximatly £4 each. Great pork pie for the family over Xmas. (Not sure if they had any left in Failsworth Manchester).

Eggs are separated, the yolks are mixed together and cooked in a long thin sausage type skin. they are cooked in hot water then the skin is peeled off. then the yolk length is inserted into a wider sausage skin, then the mixed whites are added and cooked. Then it's peeled too, then it can be inserted into the pie.
Saw it on tv yrs ago :stuck_out_tongue:

How do they make the egg run the length of the pie? Do they have GM chickens laying rectangular eggs?

"Gala Pork Pie With Egg normal price ...."
I know I'm being pedantic, but its just a Pork Pie if it doesn't have eggs in it..
