Pork pies, steak pasties and chilli & polenta pies.

Available from Monday to Wednesday in Vista, Baza are hand made pork pies, pasties and fresh strawberry tarts.

The pork pies are made from pork shoulder and the steak for the pasties and chilli pies is skirt steak, all of which has been trimmed of fat - Sorry to those who like the fat left in.

If anyone requires the large pork pies which serve 6 - 8 please let me know before Saturday.

Thanks.

Any chance of spicy pork pies? Definitely interested in the large ones for one, ahem, I mean 6-8!

Ah that's how we like them, on a scale of 1 being mild to 10 blowing your socks off how d'you like them?

Can be ready for Sunday if you fancy.

I'll take two large please, one @ 5/10 the other @ 8/10 Sunday sounds good to me, Benny Mkt? I guess I'd better take a couple of Strawberry Tarts too so the missus has got something to peck at

I have just been advised to ask two crucial questions! How much and how big are the tarts? If they're tartlet size then two is good, if they're like dinner plate size then I'll take just the one please.

The pork pies are 4.50 € each and 20cm in diameter and 8cm in height - ish,
the strawberry tarts are 1.50 € each and 8cm in diameter. The pork pies freeze really well if you can't plough your way though them both

If that's OK with you, let me know what time on Sunday via the MP bit.

I,ll see you sunday for a chat...I love a good tart especially with plenty of filling

A friend of mine gave me one of your pork pies today. Ive gotta say its the nicest pork pie ive ever had, and ive had a few!
Pedro, youre right, you cant beat a good tart (well not legaly anyway).

Tarts make the world go round lol..and they keep you from getting hungry

Really pleased you enjoyed the pie Dave, sorry to have shattered your illusion that I'm not a little old lady - It was lovely to meet you both at the market, sorry I was in such a rush.

Pedro I shall keep an eye out for you at Benamaurel market - will you be stripped to the waist and wearing a pirate scarf?

I can't remember if I asked about taking a couple of the veggies scotch eggs too, but if I didn't, could I please?

Please wear the pirate outfit on Sunday Pedro. It will make my week! (along with veggie scotch eggs)

I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my two pork pies this week. Delicious crust, firm and tasty meaty innards without gristle and a nice spicy twist. Will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you.

Really pleased you enjoyed them, were they hot enough chilli wise? On the 8 I used 4 different peppers but as I mentioned baking subdues the spice sometimes and I didn't want to over do it. I know it's a cherry but it looks like a chilli!

I personally would say the 8 was more like a 4 and the 5 a 2, but please don't take offence as that's my masochistic side talking. What may be worth a go is the Cayenne Pepper from the jars, that stuff kicks out some serious spice and seems to get spicier when cooked.
Whatever spicing ingredient you utilise next I'll definitely be back for more.

No offence taken at all that's what I need to know, I used 4 chinese tri color,1 scotch bonnet, 2 birds eye & an aji limo which is normally what I'd put in a Vindaloo type curry but I'll get some cayenne and give it a go tomorrow - Thanks for that.

I am expecting my eyes to bleed next time please, no pain no gain.

Matilda,
Just want to let you know, our "ordinary" pork pie was delicious, we'll be back to sample more of your wares!

Oh good, really nice to meet you both and just drop me a line when you fancy another - I am going to make the tiramisu cake for Vista on Monday so if your passing you can have a slice laced with real booze

You have a new fan of your jammy doughnuts too! Alejandro sat quite happily today munching through one!
