Traditionalists are outraged by Asda's unconventional take on the traditional pork pie for the holiday season.
Are you planning on adding it to your holiday feast? We all have our own Christmas traditions, and for many families, December 25th just isn't complete without a delicious pork pie. This tasty pastry originated in Leicestershire and has become a staple on buffet tables and Boxing Day spreads year after year.

But let's be real, the classic pork pie does have its downsides. It can often be dry, lacking in flavor, and don't even get us started on the jelly. Luckily, Asda has come to the rescue with a unique twist on this traditional treat: their Exceptional Melt-in-the-Middle Camembert and Pork Pie. This incredible creation combines the creamy goodness of Camembert cheese with the iconic pork pie, resulting in a mouth-watering fusion that is sure to please any Christmas foodie.

Described as a "festive Frankenstein", this pie boasts a gooey wheel of French Camembert, generously topped with seasoned pork and encased in a perfectly crusty pastry. It's a truly indulgent experience that offers a "camembert explosion" with every bite. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option at £9, Asda is determined to elevate the pork pie tradition with this luxurious addition to their holiday lineup.

Of course, as with any new product, there have been mixed reactions to this unconventional creation. Some are simply intrigued and can't wait to try it for themselves, with one foodie exclaiming on social media that "Camembert at Asda is big this year!" Others, however, are purists and believe that a pork pie should be left untouched. One person even went as far as to call it a "vile, vile bastardisation" of a beloved classic.

But regardless of what people may think, one thing is for sure: Asda is fully embracing the Camembert craze this holiday season. In addition to the pie, they have also introduced other Camembert-based products, all in response to a 92% increase in online searches for the cheese in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

For those looking for more Camembert goodness, Asda offers an Exceptional Pigs in Blankets Camembert Wreath, which features a wheel of Camembert surrounded by pork cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon for £6.50. They also have the Exceptional Camembert and Chutney Pastry, a shareable all-butter pastry filled with Camembert and Asda's signature fig, whiskey, and honey chutney. And let's not forget the final product in the range, the Extra Special Roasted Camembert and Garlic Flavour crisps, which have already gained a cult following online.

These crisps have been deemed a "game changer" and have even elicited a dramatic statement from one fan, who declared that they would "sacrifice all their organs" for a bag of these tasty snacks. The crisps are currently available in-store, along with the rest of the Camembert range, which will be hitting shelves and online on December 5th.
