Best buy

Five pork pies sold side by side, judged on the one number the pastry buries: how much of the pie is actually pork, not crust and jelly. The spread runs 30% to 49%, so the protected 'Melton Mowbray' name guarantees nothing, and the dearest pie is the best value: strip out the pastry and the premium Dickinson & Morris gives the most real pork for your money while the cheap value pies are barely a third pork.

Ranked by cost per 100g of actual pork — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.

    31% pork
    Pork (31%) on the pie. GBP1.85 for 145g (GBP12.76/kg). The protected 'Melton Mowbray' name guarantees the recipe, not a high pork percentage: this carries 31% against Dickinson & Morris's 49% under the same name.
