A big story for Pork Pie lovers
Melton Mowbray Pork Pie makers have campaign to have the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie protected and made only in Leicestershire as a regional specialised food. Northern Food the countries largest super market supplier has tried to block the move and have succeeded in getting the right to import and pass off any Pork Pie, made anywhere in the world, as a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie for the next five years.

This is simple act of corruption rips off the consumer, rips of the Melton Mowbray Pie Makers, rips off Farmer's and makes lots of lovely money for the cartel that is Northern Foods.
Wot Free Market?
Boycott Northern Food Pork Pie's and other products!
