Jeremy Clarkson has set the record straight on what's inside the now infamous '£200 pork pie' that's been causing a stir on social media this week. The former Top Gear star and Diddly Squat Farm owner opened his Cotswold pub The Farmer’s Dog last year, which has become a huge hit, and this week his Farm Shop is a hot topic because of one specific item - a giant pork pie., or is it?.
When footage of the item, labelled “Extra extra large made to order £199.99”, was first shared on social media people were in ‘disbelief’ with the pricing, with one saying: “Is it seriously £200 for a pie?!” while another said: “I am wondering how they can justify prices like that.”.
But, now Jeremy has taken to social media to set the record straight. READ MORE: NHS apologise after devastated mum got breast cancer 'whilst on waiting list for 18 months'. On Friday, January 24 Jeremy took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say: "There are reports in some of the sillier newspapers that the enormous pork pie is for sale at the Farmer’s Dog for £200. You’re welcome to buy it for that, but I wouldn’t recommend eating it. As it’s not made of food." Which has left people questioning, what's inside?.
Over on Instagram Jeremy confirmed the 'pie' is in fact filled with straw and his followers have seen the funny side. Captioning the video: "This now infamous £200 pork pie is actually made of straw! Because the real giant pies we make fresh to order for our customers with the best British farmed ingredients and to whatever size you want - great value for as many people as you want to cater for..and so delicious that our Steak and Hawkstone Pie is now entered in the most prestigious pie competition in the country - watch this space for results!".
