Melton Mowbray Pork Pie
Unlike the standard British pork pie, the Melton Mowbray variant is made with uncured pork, so the meat should be grey rather than pink. Also, they are traditionally cooked free-standing, so the sides should bow outwards.
There is currently a legal battle under way between the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association who are seeking EU "protected designation of origin" (PDO) for the pie, and Northern Foods who manufacture large quantities in factories elsewhere in the country and would be unable to do so if the PDO were granted. At the time of writing (April 2008) it looks like the association are going to win, and that pork pies describing themselves as Melton Mowbray will soon have to made by traditional methods in the local area.
