What a good pie to start off the 2007 season. 
It scored a respectable 59.9% this is an improvement on last years score of 53%
It seems that the area of filling quality is where this pie is most improved.
VFM was quite high 2.02 which would take it into the top 5 VFM pies when compared with last years scores.

Bought two boxes today but wish I hadn't. I thought the opposite that that pastry was thick but do agree was slightly dry. Filling was very fruity but tasted of nothing other than sweetness. First pies I have ever bought that I will not be eating the rest of the box.
