pork pies
Pork pies come from the United Kingdom. They are made from a hot water crust pastry (lard melted in hot water and milk to which flour is added to make the pastry). The filling is made of minced pork, pork fat, bacon,and spices. A hole is left in the top of the pie when it is baked. When it is cooked, savoury pork jelly (made like a porky stock with lots of gelatin from pork bones and a pigs trotter) is warmed and poured into the pie. The pie is traditionally eaten cold with the jelly set.

No <- whoever said no didn't look into the issue, yes they do. Lmao what are you a pie specialist? No just someone who looked into the issue, as I cannot have pork. The use lard in all banquet pies, to include the fruit, or meat pies. I just had never heard of a pie with pork so I made a guess. I guess I should have researched, sorry for ruining this answer.
