Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"Pretty budget pie, nice pastry, however the mince didn't really tickle my pallet"
"Seemed a bit bland at first somehow (the pastry is a bit dry) and yet is something of a heavyweight pie overall.  Nibbling and letting it linger in the mouth for a while seemed to realise a fuller potential."
"Poor filling and tastes under cooked may have come from Lidl"



Packaging Description
Butter enriched shortcrust pastry with a rich fruity mincemeat filling.

I found these to be the best pies for your pound in November, but when recently I bought another two packs for £2 I found them distinctly altered: more crust and less filling making for a less pleasing first bite: still tasty but a bit of a shame really.
