It was another one of those 'flat' pies or 'shallow' pies. Quite good looking with plenty of sugar on top. However it was really let down by the poor quality of the filling. Not much more I can say about it really..... and average pie.

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin "Nice looking pie, Nice sugar coating. Quite a flat looking pie. First impressions were very poor, did not like the taste. Almost thought that there was washing up liquid in there. Yuck." "Very average and inoffensive in all departments. Come next week I won't remember this pie, but it probably won't remember me either." "Must be Asda this time surely! Very stodgy pastry that dominated and distracted from the dull filling." "Filling overpowered by the pastry, which wasn't brilliant. Greggs?" "Too much Pastry not enough filling, ALDI ?"
Packaging Description 6 Mince Pies Rich shortcrust pastry cases filled with delicious mincemeat dusted with sugar.
