The pastry is so soft as to be almost non-existent, like biting into a particularly sugary cloud. The filling is quite tasty, although it's all fruit and no interesting booze or spices, and it's a bit stingy.
These are okay, but nothing special. Vegans deserve better. 3 out of 5. (Palm Oil)

I'm guessing the pastry usually isn't that soft in the pies (it sounds like eating a yeast doughnut). Did you feel like that hurt its score, or did it make no difference? What's your preference, if you have one, with the pastry?
ReplyDeleteI like a firm pastry, with a bit of bite, but stopping short of crispy. I also don't like it to be too sweet, as I prefer the filling to carry most of the flavour.
DeleteOn the bright side, it was edible. A lot of things marketed to Vegans are terrible.

You are not wrong. One of the main reasons I haven't made the jump is cheese. Vegan cheese has improved a lot over the past few years but it's still a long way from being good!
