How much for a pork pie?!

Expensive pork pies or an occasional treat?

I am sure most of you will have seen Clarkson’s Farm at some point. Jeremy Clarkson is a marmite character on the TV, and this adds to the appeal for the many that watch his series. One thing that has got a few backs up recently is the price of his pork pies. They are sold in his farm shop and made at the butchers located at his pub. Prices start at £23.08. This may seem expensive, but even the smallest pork pie is rather substantial. The largest size is XXL and is a penny short of £200. This is an extremely large pork pie and would cater for a few dozen at a party very comfortably. Do you think these prices are fair and reasonable? I think they are probably about right, especially considering they are sold from a farm shop and produced locally. He has customers who regularly buy these pork pies, so they must be a tasty treat.

Haven't tasted one. But I think it's expensive but of course you pay for the name and the taste

That would seem expensive to me. But then again, it's premade and probably very good. But of course, I could make my own for around a third of the cost.

@Danielclark691 For sure. No argument there. At the same time, I will admit, there ARE times I am willing to pay a bit of a premium for something "special."

I guess they are worth whatever he can get for them. It would be hard to cut up that big one into serving sizes.

Not really familiar with the currency in your country, on what is expensive and not. But that pork pie is surely huge. It looks tasty, but the name made me think, is it made with pork?
