A classic looking pie, with nice star design and sugar coating. Quite a 'Fat pie, with bunging sides, and gold case, a characteristic of M&S. Great Aroma when opening the box. Hmmm. My pie was only half full, so a little disappointing. Still an excellent pie!

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin "No doubt about it -it’s the M&S Connoisseur. And its still a cracking pie. Nice taste of brandy in the filling, and there's plenty of filling too." "Somewhere suffering a mincemeat shortage?" "A bit too alcoholic for my tastes. Looked good and a nice weight. A posh supermarket?" "Nice pie could be more filling" "An old favourite from Marks and Spencer" "Lots of alcohol in this one!"
