Pork pie shop in Leicestershire already out of stock
A 'pop-up' pork pie shop in Leicester city centre has sold out of the festive treats - just two and a half hours after opening.
Walker and Son opened the doors of the Cheapside store at 8am and by 10.30am there was nothing left except sausage meat and ham.
A queue had formed outside the shop by the time it opened and in two and a half hours it had sold 1,200 1lb pork pies and 100 3lb pies.
The store will be open again tomorrow and plan to have more pies in stock.

“heisspartacus,
just because people choose to use the arrows does not mean they are brain dead.
Granted that you were simply asking a question but you imply that questions like this are morally neutral. Any question about meat can not be.
How animals are kept and slaughtered has ethical implications”

I am quoting myself to ask what brain dead red arrowed a simple question about the type of pork used. Perhaps like so many only capable of pushing a button”

“I remember a boyfriend I had at age 17 telling me about this 'quaint' Leicester custom, pork pie for breakfast and thinking 'how revolting'. My opinion hasn't changed.. Still, each to their own.”
