Simple MrFC, they are done by hand. Eggs in the middle of pork pies are a relative new addition in terms of foodstuffs having been around for little more that twenty years and are a direct result in the changes in the ways that we now purchase, prepare and eat foodstuffs. The shift change towards processed foods and less and less fresh foods, has seen a down turn in the consumption in those foods, in particular fruits and vegetables. It was recognised early doors by fruit producers that unless they diversed they would eventually go under. Pork pies with eggs in them first started to appear when apple production went down and there was a danger of job losses in the industry, as the requirement for core stuffers reduced. In order that the industry could support the people previously employed to put the cores into apples, they expanded into new areas one of which was putting eggs into pork pies.
Hope this clears it up for you.
What about scotch eggs? Is that just the kind of eggs that Scottish chickens lay?
Mr Tweeky
'OMG' :shock:
Now I know iv'e gone mad.........
OK, how about this one then ..... ?
If the non-stick stuff in frying pans is so bloody non-stick, how do they stick it to the pan ?
:P
I like the frying pan !
But, I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. :shock:
Mr DaveJ's explanation of eggs in pies shows, I am sorry to say, a common missconception of how British culinary tastes are being sloley eroded by an increasingly intrusive European Union. There are no doubt those that would argue that eggs in pork pies are "traditional" fare and, of course, in certain areas they are of course correct.
We should however look at the increasing proliferation of of foriegn foods that are to be found inside other comestables. I refer of course to pimentos in olives, cheese,bacon and garlic in chicken (a dasterdly scheme from the Ukraine of all places!) and of course the practice of placing toads in the hole which - although this may come as a surprise to the members of this site - is clearly a French inovation. There are of course other examples - chocolate in croisants, raisins in bread, and wrapping lamb in vine leaves.
Asfor the non stickiness of frying pans and other cooking implements I seem to remember a typically British solution being proposed by Blue Peter where the simple and effective use of sticky back plastic produced a frying pan that may have cooked a cold pancake but left a nasty taste on the bacon.
What more can we ask for?

Sorry Sam but that just proves my point really.
Tesco may seem outwardly to be the epitome of convenience shopping but you are being drawn into buying convenience foods - much of which are stuffed into other foods. Can you but stuffed olives and chicken kieve at Tesco?
I think the answer is yes!
What I ask is wrong with feeding eggs to pigs anyway? It is no worse than feeding Paxo stuffing to a turkey before Christmas!
