Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"A very average pie and was also half empty, which was disappointing. A good sugar coating, however. Tesco." "All round average pie, with a lack of filling but not bad quality. " "Decent filling to be fair, shame it crumbled quicker than a married man who's been offered a night with Cheryl Cole though." "Great pie, very decorative, the pastry was a little sticky but overall the filling was good. The best pie I have tasted so far. -- Mr Kipling?" "Is this the famous Sainsbury's effort? Excellent all-round pie of the mass-produced variety. Only complaint is the all-too-familiar 'air dome', which deceives the consumer into thinking they're getting more than they actually do." "It was OK, it was the same as 50% of the pies tasted. If this pie was a career it would be a branch manager at a medium sized trade warehouse." "Looked like all the rest, but was a very good pie, well held together, but crumbled at a bite, texture was fruity and filling and wasn't overly sweet.. Aldi?" "Marks and Spencer - Gobbled this one down. Good firm pastry with a tasty filling, well presented. Any more?" "ok - not great" "Pastry OK with quite nice texture - filling tasty and chunky - high roof pie case that was half full of filling - a professional looking pie and a good all rounder." "This pie didn't look the part but once past the looks it certainly performed, A tasty little number which filled a whole and did the business" "This pie has left me desperately confused with its distinctly average performance in all areas. How can a pie have nothing to love and yet nothing to hate? I'll probably have forgotten all about this pie in a matter of minutes." "This pie tasted like a Tesco creation. It was fine - but not amazing! " "This pie was surely made by the same manufacturer as the Aldi Specially selected pie, it had the same pale pastry, crimped edge, chubby look, granulated sugar topping and tasty spicy filling. The actual pastry decoration was different. Sadly compared to the Specially Selected pie I tested, which was nice and full, this one had a meager half filling. So it has not scored nearly so well. From some supermarket with the same supplier as Aldi?"
