Marks And Spencer Classic Recipe Puff Pastry Mince Pies

This Puff Pastry pie was rather nice to look at. Quite plump.

However it was quite light, so not a good indication of the quantity of filling.


I was right, it was 75% air with hardly any filling! I was robbed!

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"The year's most bizarre pie! It looked huge, but it turns out that inside the pastry is 93% air and 7% filling. It's difficult to test the filling quality! No idea who makes these - Fray Bentos?"
"Initial 'sausage roll' taste gives way to mince, after a while"
"Discount pie shop. An unusual pie, almost an eccles cake but without the filling"
"Surely gotta be M&S Classic Recipe Puff Pastry Mince Pies as they were very puffy!"
