I made two last week - and the difference to shop brought ones, well you can't really compare the two. I used Gary Rhodes' recipe from his New British Classics book. The price sounds fair really - for a 454 g pie you could need a half kilo of pork - and that can be £9.00 a kilo. The supermarket versions probably use bits of pork that you really don't want to know too much about which is how they can do it cheaper, and add more fat, rusk and anything else to bulk out the meat content. Know which one I'd prefer. .-= James´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thecotswoldfoodyear.com/2009/06/wedding-in-cotswolds.html" rel="nofollow">Wedding in the Cotswolds</a> =-.

Hmm, yes, it is a bit more than my research has shown price per kilo. Even Fortnum and Mason's pies are cheaper than that.

I would pay that for a really good pie of this size because it was large and fed a lot of us but this was just too dry. It was 454g and retails at £5.99 which is a little overpriced in my opinion.
