The bin?

Or do you get off on disappointment? :rofl:

Fuck it. Iā€™ll let them cool and take them both tepid.

Never, ever say that in a mortuary.

The underpie looks ever so slightly reminiscent of a Breville toasted sandwich.

However, this is where it starts to get interesting. A little heat and the pastry is a touch shorter, and the ratio of filing to pastry is just on the shy side. Iā€™ve never been a fan of deep fill , just another half spoonful would have done to even it out a bit.

Sticky wetness to the mince which isnā€™t at all unpleasant. The application of heat allows the pie to bloom.

If you went in blind and with an open mind I think you would enjoy them.

I bought a bag of pecans to use in a carrot cake recently & was staggered by the cost. I also couldnā€™t help thinking of Sade. Curse you MWS

Judging by the anemia of some pies Iā€™m guessing they have been glanced past a sous vide and nothing more

Tempura mini-pieā€¦

McDonalds have done a ā€œseasonalā€ pie before which is effectively tempura.

Shit.

Sous vide has itā€™s place. A mince pie is absolutely not one of them.
