It is also rich in Oleic acid, the same fatty acid that is in Olive oil and contains zero trans fats. Also as you have eaten a mainly mediterranean diet for years the occasional pork pie can surely be forgiven.<br /><br />Jo in AucklandJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654932887735045108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-54936500184831475992022-04-01T09:37:19.662+01:002022-04-01T09:37:19.662+01:00My regular shop is Waitrose near the Dog Stadium, ...My regular shop is Waitrose near the Dog Stadium, it is the nearest to me. People often ask how I can afford to shop in Waitrose and I tell them that everything I buy in that shop is quality and the staff are the absolute best. When one of them found out that Tom was unwell and I was a little upset they promptly went and got me a large bunch of flowers (for free). Where else would you get that?<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-53127235357345454932022-04-01T04:28:11.199+01:002022-04-01T04:28:11.199+01:00How would the jelly stay there if it was hot?How would the jelly stay there if it was hot?Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-74571110596113659132022-03-31T20:20:39.848+01:002022-03-31T20:20:39.848+01:00Note to self: next pork pie in Yorkshire.

From expressing to almost all of his commenters how seriously he takes Covid and that he feared Long Covid more than anything he goes out and casts caution to the wind. "If I am scared of Long Covid I may as well toss some germs around and others can get it too" attitude. I note he asks for pleasant comments, well I try to no avail. He says the comments are unpleasant and in the very next breath he tells his readers he does not read them. Work that one out. If he didn't have Comment Moderation on or he at least published an email address he could avoid this spillage of comments.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-53458140171537459182022-03-31T14:11:31.523+01:002022-03-31T14:11:31.523+01:00I'm trying to reduce my intake.

My husband's favourite is the local football pork pie which oddly feeds four, how you'd slice it up at the match I have no idea. And of course here some choose a tier of pork pies for their wedding rather than the sweet iced option.
