The pastry has a nice crumbly texture, maaaaaaaaybe a bit on the soft side, but the worst failing is that it's oh so terribly bland. The filling, on the other hand, is lovely, with a rich flavour; alas, as you can probably see, there's barely any of it. 2 out of 5. (Palm oil? Not sure...)

That's barely three dimensional as pies go.
ReplyDeleteThat’s one flat pie! It’s like a package from IKEA.
ReplyDeleteI believe that a similar (the same?) pie in a previous year may have earned a comparison to the frozen sandwiches known as Uncrustables...which are, by my accounting, among the most delicious things ever created, but I also recall there being some disagreement on that point... ;)
ReplyDeleteWell remembered!
