Yesterday I had a sausage roll. Today I'm eating a pork pie. They are a similar product but ...

It got me thinking - what is nicer?

I'm tempted to say pork pie, but if you get a really high quality sausage roll it's devine. Also you never get a hot pork pie but you do get hot sausage rolls.

I'm wondering f a harry hill style "which is better, only one way to find out. Fight" is the best way to distinguish?
 
Close call, but a good pork pie for me. But then, throw a scotch egg into the mix.............

Tough call indeed, both have their appeal,
Hot sausage roll on a cold day :thumbs:
But if its "like for like"
A decent cold pork pie beats a cold sausage roll any day :thumbs:

And of course a nice big lump of Gala pie ( Pork pie with egg in it) covered in Branston Pickle is very hard to beat :)

Depends on where you get them... i make ours so hard for me to say. But i do love a good pork pie.
 
Sausage roll every time.
The pastry and jelly in a Pork Pie is grim.
 
i prefer little to know jelly in my pork pie. a melton mowbray one goes down a treat
 
Pork pie! End of! Pork pie is a big enough bite for a bloke! At best a sausage roll can only be a flaky nibble for a flaky nibbler!
 
I am in favour of the pork pie.
As a matter of fact they do, or did 20 years ago, serve Hot pork pies with mushy peas in the Huddersfield area. { A promotion day for Grahams Builders}

Pork pies built by Yorkshire builders! I'd expect them still to be solid after 20 years!! :D

Wow, it reallt IS grim up North :D
 
Depends very much on the origin of the meaty treat. A good one of either is worth the eating while a poor one is fit only for the bin. Generally, cr@ppy sausage rolls are easy to spot - they're in plastic wrappers with Ginsters written on them. TBH, I don't eat many of either these days - too much pastry and not enough meat in most. As for gala pies, you're welcome to them with their (often) reconstituted egg filling. A hot (British) pastry snack has to be a proper Cornish pasty IMO!

Actually you are too slow, that joke has already been made, but the poster deleted :p
 
Just tell it as it is. Doesn't stop it being delicious though.
 
I don't like either as I went off pork, I have not eaten Pork in about twenty years or so. Steak Bake every time for me, followed by a Custard Slice from Sayers. Not sure if Sayers bakers is Northern only.
 
Pork pie..

I can't eat shop versions of either now, but the pork pie is the only one of the two that I've spent some time working out a recipe that I could eat (gluten-free).
 
Used to get a warm pork pie and mushy peas with mint sauce in the market in Leeds but those were the days when too many carbs was like to much alcohol, a personal mission statement.
