The good old pork pie. Still eating them. I hope you all get a taste for them. As for not eating the crust that was because the pastry was there to protect the meat. The crust as a form of packaging. When you wanted to send the cooked meat to someone it was cooked inside the pastry and then sent to the other person. Once it arrived the pastry was removed and the meat was eaten. But often the outer layer of the pastry would be removed and the rest eaten along with the meat. Waste not want not as they say. Bit of a history buff so I am enjoying your videos. :)
