Quite a nice looking pie with a domed top... Could it be full of filling or air?
Pastry a little too crunchy for my liking, crumbled a bit in my lap.
The Filling was good... But the Pie was only half full.... The rest was air.... I was robbed!
Overall a nice pie, but a bit misleading.

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"Where was the filling?"
"I have to say that the quantity of the filling is poor, despite its good taste! The crust was really good, but just not thick enough"
"Not enough filling, would of scored much higher otherwise."
"A pretty good pie, nice filling but also quite liked the 'biscuity' case which is an unusual texture for a shop mince pie but also paradoxically the pastry was not too dry or bland either."
"Nice filling - quite fruity & spicy. A decent enough start, enough to whet the appetite ready for some serious pie tasting."
Packaging Description
All butter shortcrust pastry
Filled with deliciously fruity mincemeat with vine fruites, Glace Cherries, Brandy & Port.
