Straight 9
Melt in your mouth pastry, great spice, would be a ten if a little more boozy. Didn’t need the clotted cream.

High praise

The puckered bullet holes are making me uncomfortable.

You have been around Stronzetto too long :grinning:

If that were true it would be the bullet holed pucker.

My concern here is if said pastry pervert has insurance! He would be up and running again to blight the world with further deviant offerings within the year.

Tonight I shall mainly be having Aldi mince pies and vanilla ice cream :grin:

I’m not surprised your drill melted given the backlog of bad Karma such pie related deviancy must develop. You should steer clear of any cartridges or expensive hinges too.

Was pleased to see some home made mince pies at the school fair today. Sadly they were shit.

I think it was some bastard hybrid short/puff pastry that combined the worst aspects of each, tasteless filling and the pastry was too thick on top and hence undercooked.

At least the quid I paid went to the school charity.

Hope you found out who the culprit was

Personally I’d be seriously thinking of moving the kids to a different school

You see, palming off a gentleman with substandard goods and praying on his charitable nature is a cruel manipulation usually reserved for honey trap types and emotional blackmail specialists - In all cases a tightly knotted and brined wet rope administered with cold rage is the correct course of action.

or the venn diagram intersection of dealerscum?

It’s all a question of finesse - Any scumbag worth his weight becomes a friend at best or respected at the very least. Emotional ties are made, doubt seeds sewn in the unsuspecting mind well before the hammer blows… Often such escape routes are so elaborate the victim sides with the dealer in fury at a courier company (for example) who are totally blameless. A shoddy pie salesman however is rumbled on the first bite.

Settling down to the new series of Fortitude with these.

I’m immediately a-feared due to the deep-fill nature of these and expect disappointment.

Right… we’re in…


First off…no plastic sheath covering the six pies in their inner tray. Potential dryness beckons?

All bar one pie weighed 60g. Interesting.


I can only manage two alongside a nice strong brew. The pastry is as dry as a camels tit, and the flavour is… well… indescribable. The after taste however, is not. Distinctly petroleum based.

Awful. Going to need a full glass of Stronzettos Saturday night Fighting Wine to rid the taste.

The horrible font used for the “s” on the box should have been warning enough. :slight_smile:

That’ll be the letter of the beast.

Indeed, unnecessary and unforgivable.
