Pork pies are great, absolutely love them, especially the Melton Mowbray pie, made with uncured pork, the jelly is delish. put in to stop the filling from moving around inside the pie when cold as it shrinks when cooked.
Ugh No. We specifically went to Melton Mowbray to try the pies. Horrid. The thing sat in my stomach like a rock and put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
Hi guys. Here's the answer to your duck query. The strange, warty-faced Muscovy Duck causes confusion for some bird watchers, as it's very distinctive and quite commonly seen, yet does not appear in some field guides. One of the oldest domesticated fowl species in the world, the Muscovy Duck was already being kept by native people in Peru and Paraguay when the early Spanish explorers arrived. The word “Muscovy” may refer to the Muscovy Company (incorporated in London in 1555), which transported these ducks to England and France.
If you love living museums, next time you’re on the East Coast of America, come visit Historic Williamsburg in Virginia. So much history and people are milling grain, sewing authentic period clothes, smithing nails and horseshoes, etc. ALL of the employees are all dressed historically accurate and it has beautiful gardens and grounds! It’s also not far from Jamestown when your ancestors came and landed here in America! 😊
the jelly in the pork pie is where the flavor is, & when they are freshly made & still warm, they are nice n juicy, i love them, also orginaly, ginger nuts were called ginger snaps
I wouldn't worry about the river. Its a hell of a lot higher now with flood barriers! Shropshire Star is the local rag. Famous for its sometimes dubious headlines.
Canada does Heritage Parks in this style of a living museum. Calgary, AB has a great one, and there's one I went to in Ontario as a kid too (near Ottawa, don't remember the name).
So strange to see a V-log in my home town. The pies are great though and the pasties, suppose I'm biased. You should go back to Blists hill on Halloween, when covid is over it's a great experience. P.s next time try some raisin bread.. can't wait to eat it again!! Nice video more Ironbridge pls
Most pork pies don't actually have much jelly nowadays as it has to go in when the meat goes cold. Most producers don't have the time to wait. Farmers markets like the ones at Ludlow have the best pork pies. As someone else has said, The Black Country Living Museum near Dudley is well worth a visit and is the best living museum in the country.
As a local here in Ironbridge I’ve got say that the pork pies from Eleys are self proclaimed world famous and also really not the best and I love pork pie.
Weald and Downland, and even better Morwellham Quay in Devon. The guy who runs the train there, who is in my pic there on the left of me is amazing. He was featured on several of the Farm shows. If you liked bliss hill. you will love it.
There are lots of living museums like this in Canada. They’re a wonderful idea! I’m new to your videos and I have to say that I’m thoroughly enjoying them, especially this as I have family in Much Wenlock. I was born in Portsmouth and have been away for 31 years now. Time to come home 😉.
Despite being a massive sausage roll fan, I agree with Alex that pork pies are absolutely gross! I want to love them but the jelly just puts me off! Also you totally reminded me about the Victorian day we had in school and the writing on slate! Memories!
@@TravelBeans the Pork pie you had was not a real pork pie . thats why it tasted odd. The Authentic pork pie is a Melton mowbrey pork pie they are made to the highest stranded
Although I was previously saying “wot no pork pie??” on your picnic video I must confess I used to hate them when I was a kid and also because of the jelly!! My dad used to make me finish the whole flipping pie and I was a bit 🤢. Anyway fast forward ten years and I discovered jelly-less pork pies which I actually enjoyed quite a bit with decent pastry and decent meat too. After that I went back to a jelly one and honestly it didn’t bother me at all, I just kind of saw past it. Anyway, mission accomplished - you trolled me with that title. Haha! Great video and loved the visit to the living museum. So very cool. We’re following your footsteps on Wednesday and off to the Cotswolds. Hoping the weather holds out for us 🤞
haha that actually reminds me of my childhood. I remember my grandparents insiting on finishing the pork pie. I actually thought I would like it after all these years but alas, no cigar. Haha glad I could troll you though haha. Have a blast in the Cotswolds and I think the weather is supposed to get better.
Hey hey from SA,I think you must come and try SA spare rib pie and hamburger pie its soooooo good.That pork pie didn't look good at all ....lots of love from 🌍⛰just love your videos
I used to live not to far from this area when I was 5 and 6 and I would be forced to walk around that museum at least once every few weeks, looks lovely but I was put off at a young age from ever going back as an adult. You need a hot meat pie in your life Alex, in Lancashire they have meat pies where they will poor gravy in through a hole in the top of the pie which makes the jelly turn back into liquid form leaving you with dense meaty goodness with delicious crusty pastry. Ps your video very much cheered me up as today was first day back at work after paternity leave and iv come home to a very grizzly baby and now have to and play football in the rain while carrying a fair amount of paternity leave takeaway weight
Yeah there were so many kids there, I could imagine hating it as a kid tbh. Ok that sounds pretty epic and 100% would eat that. Let me guess, theres a black pudding scotch egg pork pie dipped in gravy up north that I am missing out on? 😂 Glad we could cheer you up, kick the ball in the goal!
Not that I know of no but that sounds amazing but I'm not sure how the egg would work with all that baking needed. Worth an attempt in the kitchen one weekend for sure haha
@@TravelBeans I'm thinking short crust pastry base pre cooked, layer of pork pie pork followed by the egg then black pudding, another layer of sausage meat with a bread crumb topping then bake for 25 minutes at 190 / gas mark 4 for the old school people out there. Finally stick it in a well buttered barm cake and drench in beefy gravy, then book and ambulance for an ECG check on your heart just in case. I think I have over thought this a tad
Bob GUENTHER it’s aspic jelly made from a consommé of all leftover bits from pork. It sounds worse than it is and I didn’t like as a kid but you kind of get used it actually
The ankle and foot portions (“hocks”) are boiled, then the liquid is collected. The warm liquid gel is then injected after baking thru the vent hole pierced in the top before baking, and a second hole usually made at the edge. When the liquid bubble up and out the vent, the pastry chef pulls out the injector tip and moves on to the next pie. The pies are allowed to cool, the gel firms up in the fridge. Keeps a week in the fridge.
Saying that pork pies are not nice is worse than kicking the queen......You cant get a decent pork pie south of Doncaster......This is the food that is eaten in heaven with lots and lots of jelly......
Emma I'm surprised you have such a distinct and strong English accent for someone who grew up into almost her adolescence in the US! If you don't want to say which state, may I ask in which region of the country did you live?
I grew up in Oklahoma but my parents are English. I had an American accent but it was never as strong as the locals. After a couple of year in the UK it had gone though.
Great as always. Emma, fantastic outfit color coordination with your scarfs. How in the heck are we ever going to get you your silver button? You so deserve one... *sigh*
Alex, sorry mate for once I must disagree with you, love pork pies 😉 Truthfully though the best port pies are produced in Melton Mowbray in Leicester. The jelly I believe is "Aspic Jelly" a kind of gelatine which uses pigs trotters are part of it's recipe. On the subject of school trips, yep visited the Ironbridge and museum many times as a kid. Try adding a little Stilton cheese with the pie it's said to compliment the flavor 🤢 😂 Great vlog guys.
Haha I knew that this would cause disagreement and wind a few people up haha. You are the second to mention Melton Mowbray, I guess I have will to enter the pork pie world one more time :)
@@TravelBeans ...lol...who knew , I'm sure people love liver , but not my taste ...if you like something be true to yourself...you two are doing something so brave and living the life, never change you have your opinions and valid, just never understand why two people enjoying life and experiencing life can get some hate comments ...I hope they don't make you sad as your site is very informative as I love travel, especially seeing those lagoons amongst the ruins in Italy 👍💕💕💕
I’m sure the worst food would involve eels. I think what you refer to as slate, would be a chalkboard in America. I’m 52 and we had them in school. If you were bad, you’d have to write on the board a number of times, what you wouldn’t do. Otherwise, it was for teaching.
Heathen! You can down an American breakfast of pancakes, bacon and maple syrup on eggs, but hate pork pies?????? I fear extradition my be the only suitable punishment :-(
Im not a fan of pork pies, Ive tried them and they are not to my taste. We have a slang here in Australia.... Telling pork pies, Which means to tell a lie, HAHAHA
Not sure why you want to say it's something Americans would do is put jelly in the pork pie??? We don't have any meat pies with jelly. Always wanting to take a jab at Americans in your older videos. And is the pork pie served hot? Or do you eat them cold?
My partner disagrees with the thumbnail Giving me grief now here at the pub, need to hurry home and watch the vlog. #knowyourpriorities #littleandlargebeans #travelbeansfans
Sorry to my pork pie loving friends. I couldn't help winding you up with the title but let this not detract from the fact that pork pies are GROSS! 😉
Lol! Yuck
😥😥😢😢
But pork pies are my favourite picnic snack
PORK PIE = LIFE
Pork pies are great, absolutely love them, especially the Melton Mowbray pie, made with uncured pork, the jelly is delish. put in to stop the filling from moving around inside the pie when cold as it shrinks when cooked.
It helps to keep the meat fresh longer too.

@@cbuk8691 Should be eaten with a couple of pickled onions or a nice mustard piccalilli pickle.
@@tonys1636 I do love piccalilli
I agree with you
As an American, I like pork pies.
I would describe it as spam in a pastry somewhat.

The gelatine is literally my fave bit, when its made properly with a stock its pretty good for you. Maybe not the lardy pastry though
the jelly in the pork pie is where the flavor is, & when they are freshly made & still warm, they are nice n juicy, i love them, also orginaly, ginger nuts were called ginger snaps
these videos are uplifting & fun to watch
Muscovy duck. We have these in Suffolk. The reason they are so large could be due to the number of people who arrive with bags of bread :)

The jelly in a pork pie keeps the meat moist. Mustard is a must
Okay with Alex i got to understand what the english humor is like...hahaa i actually like it, i think im british at heart

Your right. Bob is legend!
Such a class act is old Bob
I have been there in 2015. Nice museum. Cheers!
What is the jelly? Like unflavored gelatin? Looks like a really interesting place to visit!

Heat your pie and put some HP on it just warm not pipping. The seven floods quite often the development of flood fields by farms and housing

Not heard of Melton Mowbray world famous pork pies guys ? Bloody delicious but like you I don’t like that jelly 😊
Hope you know Telford is town not Ironbridge
Hail Sausage Boy🤣

My ex only ate the pastry, suited me.
The rivers up and not very high in this vlog.
Gets a lot higher. The bench you sat on disappears under the river.
Great video Try a walls pork pie 🤮
We do it better with menudo inside a bun. It's tomato based in the Philippines. Yeah it's pork.
without English mustard or at a pinch HP sauce you don't Know
English mustard? It's not spicy. It's just bitter.
Maciej Szymanski Hey guy if you're mustard just tasted bitter maybe you need to throw it out.
think need chill out abit 😂😂
Trust me most Americans wouldn't like jellied meat pies any more than you 😵
😂
Americans think pizza and McDonald's are food. They are culinary illiterates.
I am still disappointed in you guys there’s no Nando’s 😢😢
It will come before we leave the UK and it will be cheeky
Nando's is mass produced junk food for I'll educated masses and their grey faced chav kids.
Im not a fan of pork pies, Ive tried them and they are not to my taste. We have a slang here in Australia.... Telling pork pies, Which means to tell a lie, HAHAHA

I live in Telford area. And I can confirm - English food is mostly crap. Go to Hadley to the Polish shops (pierogi!!!).
Poland as good Polish food, I am told.
If you think " English food is mostly crap." then you either can't cook or are going to the wrong places.
