I’ll be the judge of that (in about 5 minutes).
Ooh! I don’t think we managed to get any of those last year. They are supposed to be very good.
Excellent they have a hot line. I have me some questions
Firstly, too fucking small. Secondly it’s £1.75 and too fucking small. I could neck half a dozen of these and not notice.
The pastry is very nice: light, short and not overly sweet. The mince could do with with a bit more spice for my palette but it’s in a good ratio to the pastry.
Verdict: very decent, too expensive and too small.
any clag factor?
Not even registering on the clag-o-meter. Would be a godsend for the clag averse.
Don’t be ridiculous, mince to pastry ratio is well off.
Hey - I only google these things.
Does the short pastry make them small?
I’m fucking fuming! This miniature shit is not on…The hotline will hear of this and no mistake
I have sent for pie. Whatever it is shall get a severe examination and no mistake.
Probably the best sentence I will read all day
It’s quite possible that my envoy shall return empty handed. Previous missions have resulted in nada. Nata would have been ok…
One of them is a bit broken, you didn’t try to iron it did you?
Yes!!!
But No! What is floating in the blue handled mug?
Quite exciting, the first pie of the season, I got a little bit of a Christmassy twitch.
This, I have just found out by googling is the same recipe they have used for the last 13 years. I couldn’t remember them, which is hardly surprising really.
Crunchy pastry and the mince is a tart counterpoint to the sugary crust on the top. Not so much a dusting as a dumping of demerara.
I’m quite determined to be underwhelmed because:
-
I have been through this shit before and I am bored with it and…
-
I am pretty sure I can make better at home after last year’s faffing, so any bought pie had better be good otherwise they are getting short shrift.
These were ok but at £1:60 the robbing bastards can fuck off.
Twigs.
