The pastry on these tiny pies is firm, but not crunchy -- thank the ancestors! -- but is a bit dry. You'll want a cup of tea with these. Or even better, custard!
(I sit back and imagine the cries of dismay echoing around the interwebs.)
The filling is surprisingly flavourful; there's lots going on and it's all good, with a lovely warmth throughout. There is a strange and suspicious aftertaste, almost like flowers, that threatens to ruin things, but it passes quickly, thank the ancestors. Again.
For "cheap" mince pies, these are really quite good! Shame about the size.
(That's what she said.)
3.5 out of 5.
