A rather nice pie. Good looking with nice design on the top.
It had quite an overhang giving it that 'home made' kind of look.
Pastry was quite light a fluffy, but a bit too crumbly, ending up on my lap.
Filling was good, sweet and quite fruity, I like that.
The overhang made the pie look bigger than it was, so there was less to actually enjoy...

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"Pastry a little stodgy/fatty for my liking and not that visually appealing (I selected off the plate first and took the most intact looking one). Whilst disappointing on pre-smell and initially on first bite, it was not bad overall with the chunky filling making up for it and giving it a bit of whoomph."
"Bit sticky clings to the inside of the mouth and teeth."
"Visually this pie is appealing with ample and even sugar coverage. There is a buttery aroma with a fruit nose that is subtle yet appealing. The crust quality is good with a clever Christmas Tree design. There is a lack of filling, and the fruit that was in attendance is under whelming. Sadly the pie created expectation that it failed to deliver on."

I agrees this mince pie is horrific, and we got two free! |

This is the mince pie you palm off on Christmas moochers who have come visiting for free food. If this doesn't get rid of 'em, try a lemon mayonnaise sandwich. |
