Lyd got back from work yesterday with this
Did I mention I love her? Its soya based vegan pork pie and is delicious in the same way pork pies are. Not the healthiest thing in the world but I didn't expect (or really want!) it to be (and its still healthier than actual pork pie. The soya does a good impression of pork filling and the pastry is...well, pastry! What's more, no foul jelly around it! Which is, in my opinion, a very good thing!
Its about £3 in Holland and Barret and Lyd found it a bit reduced. I'd still recommend it as a treat :). Especially for a picnic. Does contain gluten but personally that isn't a problem.
NOTE: Lyd made a good point! "Todds Porkless pies" Isn't necessarily a good thing. It puts us in the mind of Sweeny Todd and Mrs Lovett's pie shop.
"Porkless" doesn't necessarily mean "Meatless"
