Julz makes my muscles feel like head cheese

Post-gym my legs feel like thick, yet stiff gelatine. Or like that weird-and-delicious thick jelly that comes on the inside of pork pies. Yum, pork pies. Once I watched Peta Mathias in Yorkshire, harassing the farmers of happy pigs for their free range organic pork pie recipes. And these were proper traditional-type pork pie recipes, whereby the crust of the pie was merely a portable casing for the meat within. (Further research reveals that this was in fact episode 12 of the TV show Taste Takes Off).

Links when thinking about traditional-type pork pies

• I thought maybe I could find a traditional pork pie recipe on the Old Foodie's site (which is super fab), but she doesn't have one. However, she did have a recipe for bits of pig. Which is interesting in it's own right.
• Wikipedia has a potted pork pie history. Of course. Because Wikipedia has one of everything.
• The Pork Pie Appreciation Society, including information about this year's Pork Pie competition. If I lived in the UK, I'd so be there. Perhaps with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. *Sigh*

So. This makes me want pork pies more than ever.
