Straight away these make a bad impression with a weird smell, sort of stale and yeasty.
The pastry is pretty bad too. It has far too much sugar and a crispy, crunchy, texture that goes beyond firm (which I like) into nasty (which I don't like). The filling is quite tasty, with strong flavours of fruits and spices, but it's not worth battling past that dodgy pastry, and then the whole thing is topped off with a deeply unsettling bitter aftertaste. Not good at all. 1 out of 5. (No Palm Oil)
