  • As Noted In: 1001 Foods You Must Taste Before You Die, B E S Publishing

Originally baked in a clay pot covered with a rough pastry, Melton Mowbray Pork Pie is a savory hand pie from Leicestershire, England, made with coarsely chopped pork and a crisp, hot-water crust filled with pork aspic. Around 1750, Melton Mowbray was the center of foxhunting in England and the meeting place of three famous hunts: Belvoir, Cottesmore and Quorn. By the 1780s, the hearty local pie had gained popularity among fox hunters, who noticed their grooms and servants enjoying the portable, flavorful pie. - AsNotedIn
