"The Gala Pie, according to the description Chris sent is a " rectangular pork pie made with a rich hot water crust pastry. And that's not all, you must have the classic line of eggs going through the middle." A thing about me is that I am in a phase of not eating eggs. I have been in this phase for almost five years. Don't worry about it! It could end at any time!"
"But because of the no-egg-phase and because I had never seen a Gala Pie before, I googled it, and what confronted me was upsetting. It looked like essentially un-smooth pâté with a hardboiled egg plopped in the middle, surrounded by pastry. I did really consider making this, but without Chris by my side to encourage me, my will to spend three hours making a weird pork pie that probably no one in my house would eat fell negative, and so I did not make it."
Chris sent a Gala Pie recipe on the Friday before the bake. The Gala Pie is a rectangular pork pie with a rich hot-water crust pastry and a classic line of eggs through the middle. The baker has avoided eating eggs for almost five years and found photos of the Gala Pie unappealing, describing it as un-smooth pâté with a hardboiled egg in the center. The baker considered making the pie but chose not to because of lack of encouragement from Chris, fatigue, early darkness, and later inability to obtain the recipe while Chris was on vacation.
