Greetings from Canada: My wife's grandparents always had a Pork Pie for breakfast on Christmas - they were from Barrow-upon-Soar and came to Canada in 1912 and continued the 'habit' well into the 1950's . Her dad was born in Barrow as well and likely would have preferred bacon and eggs. After my wife's grandparents died, the Pork Pie seemed to be replaced with sausages and mushrooms fried with tomatoes for Christmas breakfast. Me - I preferred the bacon and eggs.........<vbg> Merry Christmas and Happy New Year John -----Original Message----- From: leicestershire-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:leicestershire-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Fabis Sent: Sunday, December 22, 2013 8:11 AM To: leicestershire-plus@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LEI] Xmas food My dad always had pork pie for breakfast as well on Christmas Day so perhaps it is a Leicestershire habit We lived in Belgrave along way from Melton Mowbray Margaret On 22/12/2013 11:33, DrGeneal@aol.com wrote: > My late wife always insisted on a Pork Pie for breakfast on Xmas day > and said it was a Leicestershire habit.
