‘Painting the Town Red’
![Page 11: Www.mmppa.co.uk mocallaghan@tiscali.co.uk Melton Mowbray Pork Pies Dr Matthew O’Callaghan Chairman MMPPA.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf75503460f949c716f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Evolution of the MM Pork Pie
• Stilton cheese industry gave excess pork• Pigs killed autumn–spring, hunting season
– so fresh not cured pork used; grey inside
• Baked in pastry ‘coffins’ by farmers– so no hoops were used
• Inedible pastry made edible, pasties were pies• To stop break-up jumping fences, pies jellied • Also helps preserve pies if no refrigeration
