For a country that conquered large parts of the world looking for spices - shame they never decided to use them!

Yes we did, Chicken Tikka Masala, Britain's favourite dish and invented in Birmingham (or maybe Glasgow).

As British as warm beer and cold service...

I ended up making corn beef hash on a flat Yorkshire -

Not to be rude Andy but the pics of your foods do kinda resemble slop.

I see under the thread of pies, and me carrying on with the good of British traditional foods, has done no good at all for my reputation, in fact to the words of pucky and slop.

How about organic vegetables, fresh spinach and butter fried potatoes, to accompany the New Zealand imported beef, with a drizzle of homemade pepper gravy.

The MM pork pie is fraught with complexity due to the hot water crust and the need for a real homemade pork jelly.
The tall form may also be difficult- hard to find a tall baking dish.

What does that tell you about spicy food then?
Johnny Foreigner’s constitution was weakened from the all spices he used to make his putrid horse flesh, rancid camel meat or fetid thrushes palatable, leaving them vulnerable to the Brits, who, with bellies full of roast beef and spuds, rampaged around the globe, kicking everybody’s arses, stealing their countries and building the largest empire the world has ever seen :stir:

If you're using a baking dish then it's no longer a MM pork pie. Has to be hand raised

What it has to stand up by main force of character?

Phnom Penh clearly needs a pie specialist, someone who could create and distribute proper good quality pies to the establishments frequented by discerning expats.

Sounds like the type of thing someone could make a real go of. They could become famous locally and have a great nickname like The Man of Pies, or ManPie, or Pie Pete... I can't quite narrow that down, but whoever does it would surely become a very popular guy.

Would suit a round, northern Englishman ideally.
What could possibly go wrong?

Back in the days I stayed at Norms Guesthouse (Kampot) which featured a restaurant called "Kampot Pie" on the ground floor claiming to serve the best pie of South East Asia. He did not survive long time.

I don't know if this is the place you are referring too, or is it something different being back in the day.

Kampot Pie and Ice Cream Palace

Looking at their menu it's the first time I have seen pork pie advertised in Cambodia.
