The above is like looking straight into the gates of Hell itself.

The pastry is fucking plastic, I actually coughed whilst masticating, loud enough for my wife to enter the room wondering whether I had gone back on the toot.

The mouthfeel was like hoofing Cremola Foam followed by a Vim chaser.

We need to keep a record of these shop boughts with a key metric being calories per pie. This Sainsburys effort weighs in at 216 Cals. (mostly sugar) Let’s see how the others shape up.

Dimensions below. No great shakes, seems standard circumference.

The weight… unsure.

Blueberry equivalent… worrying.

I’m getting a really strong Shake ‘n’ Vac aftertaste from this second pie.

It was for measurement purposes. I forgot to measure and weigh the primary pie.

Measure twice, eat once.

M&S Anussy Disappointarts - 56g average weight of which 20.9g is sugars = 218 KCal each

Had a delivery from Morrisons tonight, but I’m frankly too depressed by Ocado/M&S’s Discs of Dismay to have risked further misery…

Poetry — a real review at last. Reviews used to mean something; they were often scathing, punishing, or just plain cutting. The point was that they offered opinion and insight. AA has no advertisers to appease, no backhanders to skew the truth — I say, the bitchier the better.

At the end of the season, the best comments will be compiled against each shop and sent to The Sun to show them how it’s done — and secure an AA paid center page spread for next year.

I’ll just leave this here.

One of the local bottle shops also has a coffee hatch and stocks them at the weekends until Christmas.

I shall be partaking.

Unless they’ve inexplicably decided to change the recipe I can confirm that they’re very good.
